So I am reading a book called "Real Life Homeschooling" (I think) and its about 21 different families of homeschoolers and what their homeschool looks like. I am picking up lots of ideas. One thing I am trying is "blocks of time". Here is what it looks like:
Monday, Thursday, Friday

I don't have a set time for everything just a chunk of time. I work through everything with an idea of where I am supposed to be when. Will it work? I don't know we are on week one. We will follow this on Wed for a couple of weeks as well, because dance is off for two weeks and co-op does not start until the last Wed of the month.
I like how it looks and feels so I'm praying it will work out.
Be Blessed!
I'm considering homeschooling my daughter, so this is all useful info. Do you manage to get all that done in one day? I'm impressed- one of the things that is worrying me about homeschooling is that I wouldn't have time with it between working at home and trying to keep my house from being a total wreck.
