The kids really are enjoying doing their school work on Clever Dragons and Always Icecream. We have however, run into a couple of problems that I will need to address for next week.
The first problem is that Taffy can't read, so I have to sit with her at the only computer with sound and help er with each topic. To address this issue, I have signed up for a free trial period with Reading Eggs and she is finding that much more to her liking. If she is still getting loads out of it when the trial is over, I'll invest in the program.
The second problem we ran into, is keeping the kids to a time limit. They can happily sit on a computer all day and I am not so happy with that.
The next problem is related to the second one, I had no clue how many subjects are covered in this wonderful program! So, I sat down and listed all the subjects and I shall plan accordingly for next week. I'm also going to look into printing off some work sheets so they're not doing it all on the computer.
My "cruisy" week turned into a "crazy" week due to lack of planning.
Oh well, we learned another lesson! :)
