While I was gone Dom helped Anthony with math and copywork. Sophie tried to work on her math but couldn’t come up with a solution to any of the problems. I consoled her and told her that just working on them counted, even if she was still stuck. She also did her copywork.
When we got home Bella did a math problem and her copywork. Then I let her off because her mouth was giving her considerable pain.
Ben and I did a page of math, and some Explode the Code and he did a bit of copywork too.
