The week of 10/9-13 is going to be an odd one.  We are out of town on Monday.  Then Wednesday we have a special private art class with a friend who teaches at a college in town.  On Thursday, we go to see “The Magician’s Nephew” at our Children’s Theatre (fantastic productions!).  And finally, Friday is our twice monthly Science class.  I’m thinking I won’t be getting much of my “normal” school work done!

I have thought about the kind of rotation you are talking about. However, one of my sons needs a schedule or he's a mess. We school year round and take the days off as we need them.
