How are you today? As for our home, it’s been a hard morning. Charlie wasn’t prepared for school and left crying. I feel like the worst parent ever. All because I got up this morning and begin to work and ended up distracted and lost track of time. I did learn a lesson no, more working before school.
That is Charlies time, and I need to dedicate it to Charlie and make sure he is up and has everything he needs for school. Then I need to make sure he gets out the door in time because this morning he wasn’t going to be able to get to Math Homework Help.
Because of my multitasking I failed as a parent and Charlie’s wasn’t able to complete his math.. Which will lead to Charlie getting a mark and can cause another breakdown?
Before I even begin my day, I need to calm down and breathe, and even though Charlie can’t hear me, I need to apologize to Charlie. I know you’re going to ask me if I’m sure this is all my fault and shouldn’t Charlie be old enough to get himself up for school and the question is yes, but I’m his mom.
First and foremost I need to always make sure I have the time for Charlie because work can wait but Charlie can’t. Always, first and foremost no, matter what this blog can and will wait and we all know my sons schooling can’t wait.
These are the mornings when I wish we were still Homeschooling Charlie full time. Then I wouldn’t have a clock to answer to. If I ended up distracted we could just start school late or skip a day.
Then we could start fresh the next day. Which doesn’t happen in public school. But at this time Public School is where Charlie needs to be. Because they’re are able to get Charlie the help he needs which I wasn’t able to do.
When I was able to calm down and began to work I put together a Round-Up for Fall Math & Literacy Activities which will allow our students to work with leaves.

I hope you enjoyed this Homeschooling Resource which teaches children about Leaves. If you have Lesson Plans or Unit Studies on Leaves would go with this lesson plan please leave me a comment. I will get them added to as soon as possible. Especially if you have snacks or books to share. Which is what Charlie and I are on the hunt for.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
