I misread and thought that was all one morning’s work! Yikes! It looks like you guys are covering a lot of really good stuff. I look at lists like that and think “I wish I were teaching my girls those kinds of things”, but then never implement them. I guess it’s time to get up off my bum!

Not to worry, Gem, you can do all of the above and still sit on your bum

I know, you just post your plans each week, and I’ll do that. You can do all the work and I’ll sit on my bum! :lol_wp:

Cindy,
Does everyone (from Alex/Andrew on up to Christopher) listen in and participate? Are the older two boys out of the “morning time” picture? I know I’ve been told this before, but…
I just have such a tough time with my guys. I only have three who actually listen in to my reading, but the attention span and maturity level differences in those three boys is immense! (Ian just makes noise, and Joseph and Michael are on their own.) I honestly feel that Joshua is bored and knows everything there is to know already (!) while pretty much EVERYTHING goes over Timmy and John’s heads. Grrr. And, as you know, it is very difficult timewise to “separate” them all. What, oh, what to do?

Linda,
James(17) and Nathaniel(15) come to the meeting part of the morning. They stay as I read Proverbs or something else from the Bible and while I ask questions like, “Who has brushed their teeth?”
We take prayer requests, pray and then sing our 2 songs. One old, one new. Nathaniel is helping us get the parts to 119x down and he is doing a great job…if only we could actually sing.
If I am reading Shakespeare they stick around for that and then they leave.
Christopher(13) stays through some of the readings but he has learned so much about Rome, that I don’t make him listen to that. But he is only in the next room and he still hears and he pipes up with pertinent info frequently.
He sticks around for all the memory work and he is The Major General part in TMMG.
Alex(4) and Andrew(7) color during the read aloud part. Emily(10) and Benjamin(11) can work on their nature notebooks if they want.
Obviously, Emily, Benjamin and Christopher benefit the most but Alex and Andrew take away more than you would think. I stop periodically for narrations and Andrew is typically on some other planet.

Crossing the Bar
We like Tennyson. *grin* Last of the manly poets, as Hubby says.
