I just feel bad that my kids aren't getting a lot "fun" school these days because I'm so tired and my mind is all jumbled. I've been reading aloud to them, but not every day for the same reasons...Anyway, whatever you share about your day would be great! Thanks for responding. :) Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293185166265516183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364208679169851823.post-58859492089247523662013-09-24T22:52:43.616-06:002013-09-24T22:52:43.616-06:00your scheduling really impresses me.

I tried that and would get so frustrated when we fell behind....everyday! <br />your ideas look so fun. can I come to your homeschool?

I looked at the activity book already created for it and found it really repetitive and boring--not that my method of "read a lot of books" isn't repetitive. I don't like how it jumps around and doesn't provide any cohesion. In short--lots of homeschoolers use it and love it but it doesn't work for me.<br /><br />Lynette: Oh my goodness, we are struggling with that right now. I changed my schedule (I'll post it later if you want) so we do scripture study and science or history in the mornings to make sure it gets done, but that means we've been doing math and grammar right up until dinner. I keep thinking if I could just pull myself together and get up a little earlier all would become smooth sailing, but I don't know. I just know that I homeschool to enjoy my kids and we like science and history most so I wanted those subjects to be a priority this year. I'm still working on it and will post about how it's going in another month.

I'm just *struggling* to do the basics (writing, math, grammar, and spelling) with my three older children. By the time we get the basics done, I want to be done with school! Do you not do the basics on the days you cover history? I've decided to just let history and science go because I just can't figure out how to fit it in my school week. Your plans look fantastic, by the way, and P.S. I'm not a big fan of Story of the World, either. ;) Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293185166265516183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364208679169851823.post-38578805726269941462013-09-24T06:34:46.099-06:002013-09-24T06:34:46.099-06:00Why aren't you a fan of story of the world?
