 So today was tedious to say the least. The boy had no interest in school today and was taking his time on everything, including his timed math drills ( he did not care that the word timed was the key to the assignment.) We do not have days like this often I'm blaming it on the warm weather and long hours at the park! :) SOOO we fought our way through language arts review of commas, then timed math drills which I will not even post the times for (ya that bad!) reading went well he is very much enjoying Sherlock Holmes,he is also reading MY Wonderful Wizard of OZ graphic novels by L. Frank Baum (just for fun).we covered bone function and # of bones in science and he played my amazing human body 1.2 (the computer game that goes with our science book). Today I had him look at news for kids (we will be doing this daily)http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/17313486. Today he read about the resent solar flares and we discussed  what larger flares could do to Internet and cell phones and how he thought that would affect our day. (best part of the whole school day). I read a chapter in Who was William Shakespeare. Then off to pick up niece Kassidy from school and to the park!! Tomorrow will be better !! Says me :)
