This was our first week of almost full school! I added science, spelling, Latin, and Greek to the math and Tapestry of Grace assignments we were doing. I also resumed phonics, math, and handwriting with my younger son. I am so shocked, because it went smoothly!
My beautiful schedule that I posted here was made and admired for over 2 months before I actually put it to use. Part of me didn’t want to try the schedule because I knew it wouldn’t work. (I tend to be one of those glass half-empty people.) The perfectionist in me was planning for failure. However, it actually went well. Our days flowed smoothly. The children got their schoolwork down. I read books to my younger 2 children. I did my housework. I cooked dinner. WOW!
