Today was our first day of school.  Phewww!  This year is very different because my oldest daughter is in college and I'm only homeschooling three!  I decided to be much more structured this year than I have in the past.  I wrote the following schedule out for the girls so they would know what to expect.  They loved the structure and there is plenty of "wiggle" time built in.

We started school today at 9:30 and we finished around 2:30.  We took an hour and a half off for lunch too!
