RE: Grateful for Schoolwork!

I love that you teach your kids at home, and they look like they're having fun in the process, which is excellent because learning is actually supposed to be fun! I have to say that without looking it up, I don't know what lines or line segments are...lol! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

learning is actually supposed to be fun!

YES!!!!! It is fun! The difficulty for my children is the "why" question. It's hard sometimes to explain WHY they must learn. The typical adult never uses lines or line segments in every-day life, so it's a legitimate question "Why bother learning this stuff?" When I was young and thought of math as a PUZZLE to solve, it became a lot more fun for me. The "why" for me became "Because it's fun, that's why!" !BBH

Exactly, and yes, I understand. Some learning does not outwardly seem like it would be fun, so getting kids motivated to actually want to learn it can indeed be challenging. That's exactly how I made math fun, too, to think of it like a logical 😁🙏💚✨🤙
