Ok we haven't really started serious school work, but we're doing review work so that once we do start in Sept we'll be ready to get to work. I always know the kids are going to be resistant to it since they've had 4 to 5 weeks of goofing off. Even mom has a hard time getting back into the swing of it. But we need to get refreshed if we're going to do better this year.
So this morning I had each child review some math facts for 30 min. I will gradually increase the time to an hr in a few weeks. Don't want to over load them. :) Not bad for a first day. We tried to do it yesterday, but with needing the lawn mowed and the girls having to help pick up sticks so that ds could, it was too late to start.
So our schedule will mostly look like this:
Mon: get library books ready to take back. Head to the library and renew our selections. Once done we head to lunch and home. Errands or watching school videos in the afternoon.
Tues: math and another subject(depends on our mood) get done. Then lunch and off to art and gym. The city we live in hosts and art and gym class for homeschoolers. It's very nice way to let them make messes, but not in my home. :)
Wed and Thurs are home doing 5 to 6 subjects. We're usually done by 2.
Fri: The 1st and 3rd Fri our homeschool gets together for events or projects in the afternoon. So morning time is spent doing at least 3 to 4 subjects.
So this is a typical week, but as with life, sometimes things change. I hope you enjoy following along in our educational journey.
