Posted by HomeSchooling4Jesus You know what? I was thinking to myself...Missey has 4 kids and another on the way so I am going to pick her brain! :)
I have decided that rather than fuss, and complain that my 3 older kids are in ps, and not getting educated to *my* personal standards, that I am going to start afterschooling them as much as possible. (every other weekend and all summer!)
Now for my brain picking! Can you share some tips/ideas on HOW you juggle 4 kids, 3 are schooled.....house work, laundry, grocery shopping, cooking and finding time for personal reading? I feel booked up just schooling M # 1 and keeping up with house 'stuff'. :)
I'd love to hear how you do it! I am trying to make some tentative plans for our 'summer schooling session'. I need my dd 10 and ds 9 to work on some grammar and writing. My dd 7 needs some spelling and handwriting work.
M is still working on blending 2 letters *argh* lol. On top of that I would love to read SOTW 1 to my kids this summer because I absolutely loved reading it myself this week! AND I want to get MY hands and views on them before ps does in this area with how OT history fits in there. IYKWIM (Oh and btw, my kids are all getting ready to turn a year older so the ages by this summer will be up 1 notch each)
Anyway, how can I do all this with them plus the normal 'stuff' is what I am after?
