What do you do when illness and other stuff gets in the way of unit studies and math assignments?
- Enjoy the opportunity to slow down and read some good books together.
- Watch a documentary. Or a musical. Or even a cartoon.
- Recognize that math will still be there, even if you are doing it in the middle of July.
- Take advantage of life experiences to learn about the human body and how to care for it.
- Curl up under a blanket tent with flashlights and tell stories.
Soon we will all be well again, but a little break here and there is not a horrible thing.

Uggg! I am so sorry to hear that y'all are sick! That was us last year. We were sick for three months and then Malcolm was born. I was going to throw in the towel, but things did get better. And we had less illness this year.
ReplyDeleteDo you do co-op? We took a year off and have been really healthy. Of course a friend that stayed in has been healthy as well. So I dunno. My prayers are with you!
We don't do co-op, but our local group does do a couple of monthly teachy things that we participate in. ;0)
ReplyDeletePlus we get plenty of exposure to other kids on the playground, at dance, scouts, etc., etc. There's been something going around and everyone we know has been sick a lot the last few months.
Hopefully we are all building up immunity. The weird, weird weather doesn't help much.
Last week we were at a playground and a kid there had snot running out of his nose. I asked him if he would like a tissue (I had some) and his mama came up and wiped it on her shirt.
There's something odd about not being willing to accept a clean, unused tissue from a stranger, but being willing to wipe a snotty mess on your shirt.
