Whatever doubts I had yesterday are gone. As I sat here today watching my lesson plans for the year finally begin to take on some definite...organized form, I became more and more convinced that I've worried for nothing about the upcoming school year - and the boys' seeming desire to return to public school. I am very pleased with the resources I've chosen for each subject and I'm reasonably sure the boys will be equally as pleased.

I have allowed for a four day in-house school week, with Friday as our day for out-of-house learning. The boys will work through five subjects each day - from 8:00am until 2:00pm. This probably sounds like a rigid schedule to some - but I tried a more relaxed schedule last year and the result was hearing my boys talk about going back to "real school".

If my plan grabs their attention as it has already grabbed mine, this should be a year filled with enough challenges and successes to redefine "real school".

Pray for us.
