If something works for our children then great! If not then we move on and we're fine with it. :-) We'd only tried the one lapbook because they were both on the same topic and I figured that having them work together, because they were often arguing at the time, would help their attitudes and they'd learn something at the same time. BIG FAIL. They told me that all they learned was, "If we're fighting you're gonna make us do something that doesn't make any sense." ... Kinda really set me back a pace and realize that I'd pretty much done just that because lapbook work didn't make sense for either of them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634100350565235034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-26321013970283260122014-04-30T08:05:22.127-07:002014-04-30T08:05:22.127-07:00OH!

Just a few months ago I realized I was having them do every page of the grammar workbook just because it was there. I started doing pretests and letting them skip things they already know well. It's really improved their attitudes and allows them to spend more time doing things like writing - which is probably more beneficial anyway.Carolhttp://www.learningwithboys.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604439789995820197.post-44842792143700852142014-04-29T19:14:35.661-07:002014-04-29T19:14:35.661-07:00Sounds like a sound list to me!
