This week we did absolutely no work in front of the mat. It was definitely a thinking outside of the mat kind of week for me. Delores recently flat out told me the other day that she did not like doing lessons. It broke my heart and I've been struggling with what to do with this for a while now. I could sense months ago that she just did not enjoy doing lessons but I think she keep doing them to please me. I think she would have done some lessons last week if I asked her to, but I just didn't feel like struggling with it. I am still trying to find ways to sneak in lessons were I see opportunities present themselves. Kind of like sneaking vegetables into a meal without kids knowing it. They are still benefiting from it but they don't even realize it's happening. So, here are some activities I snuck in this past week.
Transferring water with a dropper for the first time (practical life)
Lacing shapes (practical life). Even rosy was intrigued by this
Pouring lentils between two small pitchers or, in our case, one cup measuring cups
Cutting cherries to get the seeds out
Love this face
Mostly we just spent some good quality time with one another while I tried to figure out exactly what I'm going to do with Delores' bomb she dropped on me.
