I could use some ideas for a summer lesson plan for 6-yr-old

[Guest guest]

We're only 4 days into summer break and she's already driving me NUTS!!!!!!!!

I have managed to get her to do journal entries, all of which are about her

tortoise, but that's about it. I have to tell her she can't go out and play

until she gets it done.

I was hoping to be able to give her lessons each day to help her become more

confident in her writing and math skills.

I have a HUGE problem myself with time management and organization - I guess in

actuality, I am quite organized... I just spend more time researching HOW to do

it than actually doing it! That being said, if anyone does home schooling with

their AS child, would you be willing to give me specific lesson plans you may

use during the day? I need to have times as well as exactly what the lessons

will be and how to execute them to maximize her interest. Obviously, I'll have

to do some tailoring to achieve the right fit, but a baseline as to where to

start would be a huge help.

I can certainly relate to these kids and their frustration when it comes to

getting things done. I think my problem is that I feel I have to have a perfect

plan before I can move forward. Of course, I always feel that things could use

improvement, so I have a difficult time stopping the planning phase and moving

on to the DOING phase!
