All in all, it went pretty well--I must actually be getting to know what I'm doing! 
O.K. maybe not. 
God's blessings sees us through it regardless, TBTG! Now that I've done one run through, I need to tweak. I planned things such that ds#2 would work on something independently while I read with ds#1, and vice versa. The problem is, I expected my first grader to be as independent as my third grader! He needs help with his penmanship especially, though, interestingly, I noticed he actually does much better writing small than large. When he uses only half the line of the first grade dashed paper he has a much easier time forming his letters. All the wonderful little things you get to know about each of your children when you homeschool... 
Last year I was able to have History Monday, Nature Tuesday, Literature Wednesday, Arts Thursday, and Geography Friday (see, I still remember it!) Even with daily work, we would cover the same subject during the same time each day. Certainly this will be more of a challenge with two schedules going, though I do have a better idea of the work load for each subject. It's just a bit too chaotic for the uberscheduler in me.  |
