Oct. 15, 2007 - titles are hard to think up!
I've had some questions about how we manage to do our WinterPromise the way we do it. I think the one main thing that helps is that both girls are good readers and are 10 and 12-on the older side for the program we chose. On Mondays, the girls both do the history and science readings independently. This can take anywhere from an hour to 3 hours (and they don't mind reading that long AT ALL! 
After that we do the activity pages, timelining, notebooking, and other experiments together. total time: 30-45 minutes-we have discovered that after all, unless it involves cooking, we're not that big into hands-on stuff. At some point during the day I do math with each girl. We're using Saxon, so that rarely takes more than half an hour. That wraps up our Mondays. It is the "lite'' day in our school week.
On Tuesdays-Fridays we do the rest of school, which for Caitlyn includes Saxon 76, Streams of Civ 2, Total Health, Rod and Staff Grammar and Spelling, Wordly Wise, Fallacy Detective, Christian Charm Course, Bible reading, and Literature. Chelsea does Saxon 54, Rod and Staff Grammar and Spelling, wordly Wise, Handwritng, Art, Reading (WP readers), Bible reading, Christian Charm Course, and Beautiful Feet History of the Horse (totally her choice-I bought it to use next year but she couldn't wait!
Mickey does what he wants when he wants. If he wants stories, we do winter promise's Journies of Imagination; if he wants activities we do either cheap Walmart workbooks or Rod and Staff.
