Our school days actually look like this (schedules are always nice in theory). 6:00 Sarah wakes up and gets ready. 6:30 Sarah starts piano. Hannah and Holly wake to their alarms and start their chorepacks. Abby finishes snuggling with us and starts her chorepack. 7:00ish Holly goes to the piano. Hannah, Abby, and I help get breakfast ready. Abby and I practice her piano together once she's done eating. If Hannah's done first, she has her turn before Abby. 7:30 ish Hannah and Holly start Bible and Language Arts. Sarah does Bible. Abby plays in her room. 8:00 Holly finishes L. Arts and starts Math. Sarah starts Math. Hannah finishes Bible and starts L. Arts. 9:00 Holly and Abby play together. Sarah starts L. Arts. I go over Hannah's math, get my coffee, work to recall why I home school my children. While Sarah and Hannah continue working, I read aloud to the little girls from Abby's book basket. Then, Holly reads to me from her Pathway Reader. Abby grabs legos and sits by me while Holly practices violin. 10:00ish The girls grab a snack and start Latin. Holly and Hannah review their vocab. and chants each day on their own while I pull up their program on my computer. We do one page in their book together after that - a little bit every day is plenty. 10:30 Abby watches a video and rests on the couch. Hannah and Holly do science with me on Monday, independent research on Tuesday. Hannah practices cello after science on M and T and during this time on W and Th. 11:00 Lunch, Kitchen cleanup (hard to be outside much with construction workers around, but we try). 11:30 Tapestry of Grace Intro., Read Aloud, Worksheets, Writing, or Project 12:30 rest time, housework, get to Sarah's violin, or make sure someone gets to music class or ballet. It's wonderful accomplishing so much in the morning without feeling rushed or pushed. The rest of the day is wonderful too, but much less scheduled! |

Sarah puts clean kitchen items away when she's done with piano and starts cooking breakfast.
