Disabled woman home schools grand child.

It's been a long time since I posted a new entry. There have been many changes in my life, including the lessening of the severity and quantity of my migraines. I'm hoping this means that I've moved into menopause and will soon see the back of these migraines. I would really love that.

In the meantime, I've been trying to find ways to feel a sense of accomplishment, even if it's just cleaning out the cat box!!! I am feeling rather excited about my newest venture, and want to record the happenings here. I am going to be home schooling Daemon this summer. It's been proven that children lose up to as much as 2 months of learning over the summer. And it's more for children like Daemon, who still have some global delays.

So, today was our first home school day. Daemon signed into Dream box (which is the math program that we have signed up with the school  for).  He has to do at least 30 minutes a day, and so far he has done really well. He fussed a little when I told him to get ready for using the computer to do his lessons. Once he knew the routine he calmed down. We also went to the Bemis library to pick out some dinosaur books.  We're going to create a Dinosaur notebook, where he can write write down the facts about the dinosaur and also make a drawing of it.

After the library, we came home and chilled for a little while, then I had him work on the reading program on the internet that he has to do four times a week.

All in all, it was a good day. Daemon especially enjoyed going to the library. I think we're going to make that a weekly outing.
