Home schooling

Sunday, since school started has become our school day. Both Pete and I have noticed that since this all began Emily has lost her short term memory and right now it's the worst it's been. Today she had to complete a project for American History and oh my goodness it was hard work. The project itself wasn't that much of a challenge but Emily just couldn't keep the information in her head. I find it distressing because she never used to be like this but I don't show her that I notice. Today I repeated the same information over and over and over again even thought it was written in front of her. She'd even forgotten that the information was written on the sheet in front of her and when I said "look, there it is" she'd look shocked and then happy to see it. This being said you can imagine how it feels to send her to school each day. I've been working tonight on tools to help her remember and I have a new note pad and pen waiting for her for the morning. Maybe writing notes to herself will help settle her in some way because I think some of this is just being totally overwhelmed with school. Fingers crossed. Emily's project was finished after 3 hours and it looks great. She got a great deal of satisfaction from completing her task even though it was frustrating in parts. Good job girlfriend!
