The Olive Grove - This Week in the Olive Grove ~ Preview

Monday 23 March 2009 - This Week in the Olive Grove ~ Preview

We get back to academics tomorrow after a one-week break and a birthday holiday. This post is really just a way for me to somewhat organize my thoughts and try to be on top of things in the morning.

I have to take Sgt. Elf to work at 8:30
Back home to get the younger three cracking and begin our Morning Time around 9

Bible
Poetry
Bach
10-minute math

Leave again at 10:30 to take Frap to work and Lulapalooza to gymnastics
Back home for lunch followed by read alouds

History
Literature

Then quiet time for silent reading
Afternoon plans:

a bit more Bach
some craft time
some cleaning
outside play if it isn't storming

Now, I suppose I should get to bed.

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
