"What are you doing?" I asked sleepily.
"It's after 8:00. We can get up now!" she said.
What????
OK. Folks, it was actually 1:40AM.
Can you see the dilemma?
I know. She was really excited to get up but it was funny. I made a joke to my family about how we might need to review telling time when school started back in January. (Ya think?) My dad bought a simple looking clock at Wal-Mart for the girls. It's hanging in our homeschool room now.
Sweetheart walked by a few minutes ago and told me what time it was. Then she said, "I think I might need to memorize the minutes so I don't have to count by 5's every time. Just like I'm memorizing my math facts."
***Insert Hallelujah Chorus here.***
And also, our new schedule for school is working out great!!!! OK so it's only been 1 day. I'll tell you about it later today. Gotta teach spelling right now. It's time.
By the way, the clip art for those clocks came from this site and it's awesome!
lol! I bought (er, rather, pointed out for Grandma to buy) this awesome "clock" from American Innovative for my 3-year old: http://www.americaninnovative.com/products/otwowl.php. BEST. PARENTING. TOOL. EVER. At least that I've come across :). My daughter can't tell time, but she knows that she can't get out of bed until "Arnold Owl" turns green. A month later and I still want to do a jig about how well it works.
ReplyDeleteDon't scoff at having your schedule work for only one day so far....you're one day ahead of me. I still needed one more day to clean the g.p. cage and buy groceries. Tomorrow is out first day back.
