Yesterday we did school in a slightly different way. I gave the kids a list that included a couple of school items and a list of other things that needed to get done, like finding all the libary books, instead of their usual list. Of course, youngest son had to complain. He claims that he doesn't like the regular list, but then complains when I change it. Today we are doing the regular list with no changes and no negotiating for less work. Hopefully it will go okay.
The kids are counting down the days until December the first and then they can use our little advent calendar to count down until Christmas. I think my 8 year old is about to pop with excitement about Christmas! I think I need to get an angel tree angel or something to help them learn more about helping others at Christmas time.
What do you all do?
We used to do the angel tree, but this year I think that we may get involved in the fruit basket making baskets that our new church puts together every Christmas. *Grin*
ReplyDeleteThe Sorosis club makes baskets for needy families here. We've helped put them together the past couple of years.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Maddie's been counting down until she can start her advent calendar too. They need an advent calendar to get to the advent calendar! :)
