I thought I would leave a note after the first week has ended.
What I learned this week:
1. I need to figure out a way to get W to love it when I read to him. I must have a super boring reading voice. I try to make it fun, but I guess I didn't inherit that quality from my mom.
2. I was spending way too much time on "Grammar". That is fixed for next week.
3. I must get a priesthood blessing. What was I thinking in NOT getting one. I need to be blessed with patience and understanding toward W.
4. W's best subjects right now are, Writing, Spelling, Grammar, and Math. He LOVES art!
5. I am fairly certain that I am getting the hang of it. Hopefully the trend continues.
6. We all love spending more time at home. Hopefully as we get use to things we will be able to get out to the library more. That did not happen today.
Give yourself a big giant A on the teacher's report card. You should try to let Grandpa babysit Sister while you take the student to the library. If W loves art, then use that to help him with the subjects he doesn't embrace. People can always draw in an object lesson. It's great that you are working out the bugs. I'm so proud of you. This is quality education at the highest level.

P.S. Getting a blessing is a good idea.
Sounds like you are doing a pretty amazing job from an outsider's perspective. I'm sure it's very difficult to get the hang of it but if you did this well the first week it can only get better once the ball is rolling, right?
