Yet another week has gone.

It seems like sometimes, there just doesn't seem to be much to write about.  I haven't had any new revelations or thoughts on homeschooling methods.  Nothing overly significant has happened this week.  Just ordinary life.  So here is a snapshot of the week.

Delta - Ok, I guess a bit has been happening here.  Delta finished his Term 2 early.  I think he did ok on his term exam, although there was a few "I don't remembers".   I have started showing him how to set goals in regards to school, and changed his planner a bit to make it easier to go with a goal-oriented method.  (He will be starting to use it next week.)  I have to admit that when I looked at the number of "subjects" or areas to set goals, it is quite a lot.  And AO readings are counted as one subject (not History, Literature, Science, etc...) - I wonder if I've added too much, even though I haven't really ADDED anything....

Echo - She has just finished up Term 2 yesterday, and will do her exam next week.  Right now, she is testing limits, and at times has little tantrums.  I seem to do ok at handling tantrums with little kids - but I admit that I'm not handling these well - I mostly send her to sit on her bed until she is in a better mood (sending her back if she comes out obviously still angry) - but she tends to bounce on her bed screaming at me.   I wonder if there is some food sensitivity or something causing problems.... but feel absolutely hopeless on changing how the family eats....  I don't know how people do it!

Foxtrot - Foxtrot is reading quite well, and is almost finished her RightStart Level A!  I'd like to put her into Level B, but don't have the worksheets..... so I may have to do lessons from "Activities for the Al Abacus" for a while, or just play lots of the card games (no harm in that either...)

Golf - Well, I have to say that Golf is quite potty trained!  YEAY!   She still has the occasional accident, but not very often (I'd say less than one a week...).   I still put her in a pull-up if we are going on a long car ride or something - but they stay dry generally.  She does wear a pull-up or diaper to bed - but even sometimes those are still dry too!

Mom - Well, my goal to practice the violin everyday has not happened at ALL this week.  I have been busy organizing stuff for the next term - and honestly after school is done, I am generally wiped out.  Needless to say that the kids haven't done any music either.  I don't know how other parents go to work all day, come home and make their kids do homework, practice, and go to activities too....   Maybe it takes less energy - I don't know.  Or maybe most moms are enough younger....
