Hi all!
We are blessed with beautiful weather here this week, blessing to enjoy homeschool outside!
So, looking ahead to the fall... Getting my order together...
Our school will look like this:
9 yo ds CTC
7 yo ds Bigger
Dd turning 5 in Sept , plan to start Little Hearts with her.. Maybe half speed for a bit
( little guy turns 2 in sept as well)
So I am looking for any suggestions or thoughts on how to schedule/ structure our day.
Who/ what subjects to start first...ideas to keep everyone moving along.. Ideas for the little one, etc.
This year has worked pretty well, but didn't always do LHTH when got busy...
I know my older one is moving towards more indepence but just wondering how have time to get everyone's work in...???
I appreciate any input from you mamas who have been here!

I school kids in WG, MtMM, Res to Ref, and LHFHG. I schooled my youngest one first, while my older three were doing independent work. Then, when he and I were done, I moved onto helping my Res to Ref child. After that, my WG daughter came to me for together things. My MtMM son liked to save his together things for last. It worked. Sometimes, they had to work around my schedule. Meaning, sometimes I called them for together things when they were in the middle of something else. The olders didn't like that, but sometimes it just had to be done because of my schedule.

Thanks!
I need to sit down and work out a rough schedule...
I did this last year based off of Julie's schedule that I found for preparing... Having the suggested time frame for each box really helped make a plan for the day.
If anyone has the suggested times for CTC and Bigger that would be great!
Thanks for your input!

If you PM me your email, I can send you some excel files I have of scheduling my time. There was one year I did those three levels together. I have since combine my younger two kids because my youngest is advanced and my middle child does best on the oldest end of the age range. But I digress..... I am more than happy though to email you my schedules if you would like them.
