I need to keep this in mind the next time my kiddos are sick. I tend to have that public school mentality where sick day = no school day. .-= Jennifer´s last blog ..The Secret Garden =-.

I just posted a question about this on my facebook page last week! I like hearing how other moms handle it. I usually just read to my kids, and my older one will write or do spanish...the subjects she enjoys more. Though if the sickness lasted more than a couple of days, I'd have to rethink that! .-= Angela Mills´s last blog ..Michaelmas! =-.

That’s great, glad she’s feeling better and impressed that you were able to get so much done even during a “sick day”. Thanks for forwarding me to your “prettier” blog – love it!

Too true Jimmie! I do the same thing for my homeschooler. I also do it with my 2 public school kids if it isn’t “high fever” sick. My son who goes to ps, his cousin is in the same grade, so we get his work sent home with him, and do it the next day.
Thanks for sharing

I think that is a wonderful way to spend sick days! And it’s definitely better for her than being bored.

OT like Melissa, I haven’t stopped by in a while b/c I usually click over from my e-mail subscription. Are you having problems with your feed?

My daughter has terrible allergies (we have an appt with an allergist next week), so we’ve gotten good at figuring out how to do school when she’s not feeling well. It is a little more slow moving, but we still get enough done. Yes, lots of reading aloud and letting her read to herself and usually she feels good enough to do lots of other little things.

On a side note, do you know if anyone else is having trouble with your feed? It is not feeding into my Windows Live anymore and everytime I click on your feed link, it says there is an error, so I can’t re-submit it. Just wondering…I’m still visiting you online!

The only time we don’t have school is when the teacher is too sick. Otherwise, we adapt as you have done. We probably don’t get as much done, but we do get somethings done. Plus, with more than one student, usually only one is sick at a time, I have to keep going for them.
Glad she is feeling better.

Mine are still young enough that most of school means reading books. Lots of books, so that continue while they're sick. We just hold off on the more active parts. .-= Ticia´s last blog ..Running in the Park =-.

We have so many outside activities that when the kiddos are sick – it enables us to get so much more accomplished than we normally do. It forces us to slow down which is a good thing.
