First Week Report

Posted in Homeschooling

It went pretty well.  Monday we followed the routine I figured out and it worked!  What I did was make a table like I used to for schedules and decided who had to be doing what when, but I only put one time on there: Rosary at 9:30 AM.  I will post it at the end of this entry. I think that as long as we start our day then, it doesn't matter what time the other things happen.  We just do them in order.

Tuesday morning I had an appointment, and then in the afternoon I started feeling sick.  By late afternoon I was pretty much out of it.  So that day I only got done school with Ryan.  I kept falling asleep while reading him Sir Cumference and the First Round Table!

Wednesday I was still sick, but managed to get mostly everything done, just not in the routine.  That's where also having a checklist helps!

Thursday is ballet day, and Gabrielle has been meeting her tutor beforehand.  We did our necessary schoolwork before leaving.

Friday my mom came in the morning.  Brogan was baptized on Saturday so she came for that.  Obviously, we didn't do our normal routine because we were all thrilled to see Grandma!

I think that if I make sure we do our work, even if the day is crazy, we will make good progress!

Comments

My two most beloved things are books and brownies! Join me here for book reviews and comments about homeschooling my 6 children still at home (ages 13 to 1). My oldest son is in college. I also muse about my own language studies and my attempts to make my children bilingual. Thanks for stopping by!
