Week 9: May 25-29

Tuesday, May 26

So sorry...this week and last have been so nuts.  Lots of behaviors to deal with, from both boys.  Trying medication for Adrian, but it's not yet strong enough to really have a positive effect.  Anxiety through the roof.  The you-know-what is hitting the fan.

We have done bare minimum in terms of homework: project and math.  I've even become a scribe for the first few problems to get Seb going....once he sees he can do it, he'll take the pencil.  I'm enabling...but I am more focused on him just getting the content at this point.  :-(  Haven't done Lexia, mid-day silent reading...We do continue to do math facts at night and read at night.  I do hope we can get it back, but right now nothing productive was coming out of my forcing it.  Sorry--I tried.  I really did!



Ramadan art (Seb did the one on the bottom left; Adrian bottom right...I did the top ones to get them interested.  They were refusing...)



This map drawing caused major anxiety with Seb.  But he got it done...eventually.



Wednesday, 5/27



He received a book in Spanish and English from Mrs. Silverstein.  He loved it! :-)

Playing outside after dinner.  It looks like Carlos is fishing, but he was hosing them down! ;-)

    Sebastian, your bison report is fantastic! You did such a great job and I loved watching your video of you reading it!

    Mom, please stop apologizing for doing your best! You have been doing an amazing job with your boys! It's a lot for anyone, especially working full-time too!

Monday, April 27 Reading his acrostic poem to us Below is a link to Seb performing his poem...but I can never get videos to work.  Hopefully this format will change that.  It's a link to my google drive (I believe). https://photos.app.goo.gl/ CztrEpzcMLSeJKai7 Watching the video on seeds...Seb is enthralled... Math problem.  I did it wrong with him.  Should have added the 10s first.  Realized that too late.  next time. Rough draft of his acrostic poem 5 kind things Pictograph.  He didn't want to make the same symbol for each item... He finished Flat Stanley...just in time.  He was a beast all day.  Mean, spiteful and horrible.  Hopefully the karate exercise will help. Tuesday, 4/28 The boys both love poetry--much to my surprise!  They enjoy the rhythm and they love reciting poems.  Who knew?!  Here's seb reading today's poem. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...

Week 8: May 18-22

Monday, May 18 Only 15 today.  Sigh.  When he focuses, he's so much faster.  He was day dreaming...then fighting...then distracted...I had to start the clock twice because he stopped before he even started. And apparently he thinks 5+3=18.  But that was after 60 sec was up. Ok, I told him NO to gorillas, but eventually let him choose Bison.  He had about 5 different animals in mind and kept switching.  We tried to do a "golden eagle" like the one on the flag of Mexico.  When I finally let him try to find info on that (to prove a point of how hard it would be to find info), he believed me that he might want to choose a different animal.  We were trying to get him to do camel LOL, but bison it is.  He knows a lot about bison, but not everything.  I also thought--if ok with you--we might focus a little on the history at the same time.  Given we're reading Little House it seems to go with the territory, pun intended. We started...
