With no ‘Formal’ training or teaching experience and no time to actually get any I decide my best strategy to this Home Schooling I’ve committed to is to jump right in. After a few hours (well what felt like a few hours but was actually only 15 minutes), I felt like I just jumped into a cold pool and no matter how much I moved around, it was never going to warm up. 3 kids 3 different grades (5th, 3rd and 2nd) and a baby – I had a BRILLIANT PLAN: Assign each child an assignment, pull each aside for an individual lesson, be available for questions, play with the baby, repeat. BRILLIANT REALITY: Assign 1st child an assignment, before I could assign 2nd child assignment 1st child had questions, assign 2nd child work and answer questions from 1st child, 2nd child is finished with work and needs more, 1st child also completed work and needs more, 3rd child never received any work to begin with and the baby is desperately seeking attention from child 1, 2 and 3…lose my mind, repeat.
