RAMADAN MUBARAK!

4th Day of school

Today we really didn't have a whole lot of work to do. Unfortunately someone's focus is at the level of a fly on caffeine.  I was very excited to have a short day. But he is still at it. He needs to draw a picture of a party with as many details as he can, then write a sentence using a descriptive word. He after 2 and a half hours has nothing on his page, not one doodle or line.
The thing is I know he loves to draw. It took him half an hour on another assignment that should have taken him about 5 minutes, 10 at the most. I don't know what his deal is.

Inshallah our next day will be better. He knows as soon as he finishes he will be done and can play the rest of the day, with the exception of emptying the dishwasher. PS he is not fasting today so that is not why.

DAY 2

So today we started on time! At 9:02! Today I have learned that letting him play on the computer for break is not conducive to getting more school work done. He had a COW despite advance warning, when I told him it was time to get beck to school work.
Right now he is having PE with the Big Man. They are learning about food groups and then will do some physically active stuff.
We did our IS for the day and Arabic. That covered handwriting as well. After he takes a break when finished with PE he will then, inshallah have English then  preforming arts.
For PA we will just briefly identify good public speakers and discuss what makes them good speakers. I figure 5-10 min at most. After that work boxes.

Work Boxes so far

So far he really likes work boxes. I am glad. I wrote the directions in cursive because he said he wanted to learn cursive. I figure reading it could be good practice for him.

Well we got started late....

Well we got started late but we are having a good day, mashallah. Things are taking long than I anticipated, namely we spent about 40 min doing handwriting but what are you going to do. If I could do it for him I would.It didn't need to take that long it was 3 sentences but what can I do?
We took about an hour break and skipped PE since we started about 2 hours late. We did our calendar, read together then worked on IS. In IS it included handwriting, a tiny bit of math, our Quran lesson for the day and art. The theme for the day is How to fast. We are using TJ Ramadan lessons. We just finished our Arabic.
We have actually done more than I thought. 
I am so proud of my little faster! He is getting to the tired part of the day so we will try to do 1 more thing but if he is not up to it I am not worried. I want to do some English reading. And maybe his science. Inshallah.

1s Day of School

We are getting a late start but I am excited about our first day of school. My son should be home from his dad's in a few minutes and then we will begin, inshallah. He told me yesterday that he is most excited about his new books for reading instruction and I am the most excited about the great science curriculum we will be using, Scott Foresman Science 2nd grade level.
