Just that really.
Dp and I are both still working full time at home. I have a 9 year old dc and finding it hard to fully engage with home schooling and work at the same time. So trying to prioritise the essentials.
Everyday he does handwriting practice as I noticed his writing getting sloppy after so long out of school. We try to write a paragraph everyday using key aspects of English - so write a paragraph in the present tense with lots of adjectives, that sort of thing. Also basic, generic maths so times tables, adding, division and subtraction. I gave up on the curriculum stuff school was setting because I could barely understand it myself never mind relay it to him!
Along with that there is lots of art work, drawing, crafting. And we do dip in and out of the non compulsory work that school is sending via an app. But this is often a lot more time consuming, the sort of thing I would have to sit with him and tackle which isn't really possible with work.
What do you consider to be the essentials?
I'm really worried about his progress.
