Alhamdulillah Ibby is really enjoying his Lego class.

I cant figure out how to rotate the pictures.... :/

Acrostic Poems.

Yusuf was learning about Acrostic Poems in his Canadian Curriculum so I asked him to make one of his own using his name.  Mashallah he did well...and did it all on his own.

Those moments when the kids go and do something like this, make all the homeschooling struggles worth it. Alhamdulillah <3

Ibby - MathUSee

Ibby started MathUSee recently.  Mashallah he is really eager to learn.  :)

Confessions

I told Yusuf he could skip his social studies homework if he gave me a foot massage.

Ibby's Lego Class

Alhamdulillah we have enrolled Ibby in a weekly Lego class. We felt it was important for the boys to get some individual time so Yusuf is not enrolled.  The boys are very different, Yusuf is very outgoing and talkative.  Ibby is more of an introvert and is reserved unless and until he knows a person well.  Inshallah this is beneficial for him and gives him some time to shine without being in the shadow of his big brother.

White Board

Yusuf loves to know what will happen in the day. I often make a mental list as to what I plan on doing the next day before I sleep.  But that list doesn't always materialize because... well... you know.

So I thought having a white board in our kitchen would be beneficial for all of us.  Kids know what to expect, I know what Im cooking (deciding what to make for dinner takes up too much brain power for me now so preplanning is a life save), and it helps us all stay on track.

I highly recommend doing this... its made our homeschooling much more smoother.

[Disclaimer : We still have crazy days where we dont get much done... or dont use the whiteboard, just sayin.  We're not perfect. ]
