Not a good week

This has been a horrible horrible week.

R went to doctor on Monday (unplanned).
I went to doctor on Tuesday (planned)
D felt sick on Wednesday
R goes to two doctors on Thursday (unplanned)
R has another doctors visit in NYC on Friday (unplanned)

I think we have barely squeaked by with 2 full days of school. I already put everyone on notice that Saturday is a school day.

How to teach your child to hate science

IGNORE PREVIOUS POSTS WHERE I LOVED SCOTT FORESMAN. I CHANGED MY MIND.

Thus the title of this post which says it all. Switch to Scott Foresman and teach your child how to hate science. I feel so guilty. I don't think he is loving science so much this year. The book is sooooooo dry and I think it is written at times to an 8th-9th grader. Definitely not a 5th grader.

Uggh. Besides kicking over $100 goodbye it is now October and we are no where in science.

I hastily ordered from Rainbow Resource Apologia Science Anatomy and Space. Then I was thinking of doing Oak Meadow. I need to do something!!!!!!!!
