homeschool

For two weeks on Wednesdays I’ve helped with homeschooling for the Veitch’s. with the fuel situation as it has been the missionary kids no longer go into town on Wednesdays…their teachers send them home some of the work to keep up…and with mom in Canada and dad had to invigilate exams at school they asked for a hand…4 boys of 4 ages…but for a morning it went pretty well. Amanda also came to help…so we sounded out words, measured out rice into different containers, did spelling words, math problems, history lessons…the older boys worked on their own mostly. And would take breaks and walk around the house terrorizing those of us working…and then they found water guns…so I confiscated those until all homework was done…pouting ensued but they also agreed that things wouldn’t get done otherwise. Dad came home—we had lunch—and then we had a big water fight…good fun and a good way to end the morning. Then I went to help with some computer problems (not that I know much as many of you know)…felt good to get home and get into dry clothes…
