One week down

Last week was our first week back at school. It went very well (aside from Babalu and his dawdling). We have a new daily schedule that is working great. So far here is what we are doing-

7am Boys up/brekkie/dress/morning chores

9-12 School (math, reading, workbooks)

12-1 Lunch/Recess (Rookie likes having recess instead of just a break)

1-330 School (read aloud, science, history/geography, music/art, Latin)

330-4 afternoon chores/clean up school stuff

4-5/530 TV Time

After TV time is dinner and then all the other usual evening stuff. We haven't started music/art or Latin yet, possibly this week but maybe next. When the boys are finished with the work for each block of time they are free until the next block of time. This means that Rookie has more free time than Babalu because he has less work. But Rookie is younger and still needs time to run around. On Wednesdays our morning school block is shifted to 930 because of Snuggle Puppy's speech therapy.

I'm working on a post with all of our curriculum and lists of read alouds. I am also thinking of having an overview of the week on Fridays so my Mom can see some of the highlights.
