So this is it. Charlotte's looks similar except she doesn't do quite as much in the morning. I kept the mornings light because on Tuesday & Wednesday we are going out of the house. Tuesday is piano lessons for S & C and the library for M and Z, and Wednesday is a homeschool co-op for S & C and hopefully gymnastics for Maddy. The rest of the mornings of the week contain fairly independent work for Savannah and Charlotte. I plan on giving my attention to Madelynn and Zachary on the mornings we are home, doing schoolish things and reading to them.
During the afternoon, right after lunch, Zach goes down for a nap and Madelynn will start going to quiet time for about an hour while I work with Savannah and Charlotte on the teacher-intensive stuff, mainly spelling and latin.
Devotional and recitations: that is our memory work. We are memorizing some of the gospel standards, some of the articles of faith, 6 primary songs, poetry, and The Living Christ as a family.
Then there are the chores. They don't have to do them at a specific time of day, but they do need to be done before dinner.
I'll be putting Maddy and Zach to bed around 7 or 730. Savannah and Charlotte will alternate reading the BOM or practing piano with me.
Caroline, of course, will play quietly throughout the whole day, taking long naps during my busiest hours.
And this schedule will be moved around at least 10 more times, and perhaps abandoned all together before the month is over.
Heidi you're amazing :) I hope it all goes as planned (especially Caroline's job!)
