Day 5, the Day Homeschooling Failed

Well it took 5 days, I knew this day would come, now I’m glad it’s over. Day 5 started out like any other day, 5 year old looking 12 in his bean bag chair learning Bible:

But then it came time to do “5 Things”. He couldn’t give me anything, not even 1 thing could he remember from this day.  After about 10 minutes I told him we would just redo school. After I re-read the first 2 sentences of a lesson and he couldn’t answer my questions, I gave up and he cried.

After some time of separation, I explained to him that when he can’t remember what he’s learned it makes me feel like a bad teacher and that I’m not doing my job. He apologized and said he would try harder.

Here’s to another day, hoping that tomorrow is better (and it will be because it’s Friday and we don’t do school on Fridays).
