School officially starts in 2 weeks. Yikes. As a mother it's a bit overwhelming to think about everything each child needs to be doing and when. I read a book about scheduling, called "Managers of Their Homes" and then set to work making our homeschool schedule. I ended up with an Excel spreadsheet, color coded for each child. I scheduled in piano, computer time (for the older two math and several other subjects are done on the computer) as well as older kids playing with Levi and Grace while I'm teaching phonics to Claire. It's ultimate structure, and it starts at 6:15am.
Because this is such a huge jump from our summer lack of structure, we are starting slowly. This week we'll try the schedule only from 6:15 until 10am. Once we get that down we'll add a few more hours....I'll let you know how it goes!
