As everyone who knows me knows, I like lists.
.
I seem to have a plan, and a timetable for everything - and, although we rarely comple everything I will plan to on a certain day, it is very important to me to have that plan visible, so I can see what it is we're aiming for.
.
With eight children all of 'school' age, it became quite a juggling act to fit everything in on our homeschool timetable, but, it's proving quite successful, and most things are actually being acheived!
.
So, after hours of planning and re-arranging, here is our current timetable:

While we don't necessarily complete everything 'on time' or in the suggested order, this is 'THE PLAN' - and for the most part, it's working well thus far.
.
We also have Literature in the evenings - currently, we're reading 'The Silver Chair'. And, each child is expected to read one 'Classic' book, one Australiana book, and one Saint's book each term.
.
Have a great day!
