We started the day with some seat work. I am slowly starting to realise how bad I have been as a teacher. I was never organised and I hated routine. I always preferred doing something outrageous with my class to following the school SOW and hounding the kids for their homework. Now with my own kids, I really loathe doing work with them. It's super boring to prefect Sophie's penmanship. I just want to show them beautiful pictures of animals in magazines sometimes.
After their nap, we baked some muffins. No, I could only use premix. I lack the precision necessary for the measurement and the discipline to follow instruction. Alfee watched as Sophie did most of the work. He did enjoyed the end product though.
Reading I could manage. I like to read myself so it's always interesting to share books with the kids. I do however have problems with readers because they are so boring. I recognise how useful they are to promote and assess reading, but they are so flat.
Sophie's starting to write so I try to encourage her a little. Again, I find it a chore to make her use certain vocabulary etc... so I think I'll just let her write freely for now.
