We have still been getting adjusted to our schedule, and it did not help that Dad was home for three days last week because of some health issues. He's ok now though, and we have been moving through our studies. For the last few days, I had been thinking that I needed to plan out a specific time schedule for when each child did their subjects so I could focus on that child without the other child asking for help so I actually wrote out the schedule yesterday and we tried it for the first time today. It went great and was especially helpful for the subjects they are doing individually! Of course if opportunities come up, like field trips or playdates or we go longer because we're exploring a topic, I can make adjustments, but it was nice to see it all in black and white. For anyone who's interested, here it is:
