I sometimes think people think USers sit around and do nothing all day (of course, some days that is true, lol). There seem to be a lot of misconceptions about what USers actually do. In addition, I like seeing how other people live their lives and perhaps gleaning some ideas....
With that in mind.....
What did you do today?
All poster welcome - from "I am not sure if I am an USer" to "I am a Radical User!" Labels smables, if you hang out here and somewhat identify as an USer, go ahead and post!
It has been a fairly typical day here in muggleland....
Ds is sleeping. He is a teen. He likes his sleep. He will wake up and do an online French class. This is completely of his own choosing. He will probably accompany me to work as he has a French assignment due today at midnight - and he is a beginner at French and wants some help with the assignment (my French is good).
DD has been up since 8:30 or so. We have made a cake (she wanted to) and she has done some math. We did some adding of 2 digits, and telling time and played with cuisinaire rods. She invented a game with them and we played it. I did ask her if she wanted to do math - but she said yes, and we stopped when she wanted to stop.
I think she has telling time and adding 2 digits under her belt, so I asked her what she would like to do next and she said fractions - so that we will do!
She has spent a lot of time drawing today (she hauled in the chalk board) and found a book (from among old Guiding supplies) related to trail markings and she told me she would like to do that. I cannot wait for winter to end......
I have no doubt that before the end of the day we will do some reading. She is an emerging reading - which is a post on its own. I try to give her every opportunity to read, without making it into a chore. I think she has most of the skills down, just needs some time to develop fluency and speed. I would not be suprised if she writes a story - she does that a lot these day. She uses volumes of paper. She has numerous stories on the go.
She has just asked to use the glue gun (not sure what for) but I like to supervise that so I have to go. I think she is making a bird house......
