I don not remember having a full week off for Memorial Day when I was a kid. Back then, Memorial Day didn't even have to be on a Monday. Our school district is the only one I know of that has given seven days of unstructured time to children that struggle through a weekend. I am trying to counter this by scheduling each day. Today:
- Medicine, morning, routine, breakfast
- a have hour of TV while Hope's medicine kicks in
- Chores: make beds, empty dishwasher (GB), make sure all dirty socks are in downstairs hamper (Hope)
- Friend bringing her sons over to put used Little Tykes tunnel set together.
- Yogurt parfaits are the snack today
- pizza and juice for lunch
- GB and J are doing crafts
- Fruit for afternoon snack
- GB is cook helper, Hope sets table
- medicine, baths, hair, teeth
- a game of sticks and stones
Will it work? I have no idea. At least it is a starting point and gives us a frame work to use.
