Today has started off a bit sluggish. I guess we all have these sort of days. At least we have been productive thus far.
So far we completed one listening therapy session and vision therapy. As a reward for completing these activities without complaint, I am letting Flutterby play some twaddle-type games. I figure some mindless distractions can be useful from time to time and it gives me a chance to pep up for the day.
To add interest to the day, we are taking advantage of the outdoor classroom. We have brought a blanket into the yard, along with our books and lessons. This provides an opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and lovely weather. It also gives Flutterby a chance to play and run in between activities. She loves chasing butterflies, watching ants, picking flowers, and digging. Taking breaks to enjoy such diversions truly helps her to focus when she is ready to learn something new.
