Uugh, I want to start earlier, but I'm going to be in hubby's classroom getting all his stuff ready the week of the 10th.
If you really want to start b4 you get the CTC TM, why not get a jump on that TT math??
You could go ahead and start the littles on a schedule and still have Big A to help you with the kids. Then he'll start his own stuff AFTER the littles are already into a groove. Hey, I'm liking that idea.
Hmm thanks for giving me something to think about!! I think its a great idea to start the little ones with LHTH first and get them into the groove of things while having that help from Big A

Big A can do his GWG in addition to his TT and since there are more lessons in there than is schedule in the CTC manny, we'll have a good jumpstart on them. Hmmmm
OK AND it would get them used to using the workboxes ...
OK so that means I would only have THIS week to finish planning and gathering things for the littles....I have 3 dr's appts BUT they are only on Tues and Fri..so the other days I could spend planning. I DO have their workboxes ready to go and everything I need (I'm pretty sure) to start.
So lets see (because this is how my brain works)
**Start LHTH with Littles on Aug 4th (get CTC manny sometime this week? Hopefully!) and Big A on TT and GWG (maybe some other easy fun things to fill his workboxes like some review things)
**Have the following week to read the CTC manny over and finish gathering things for him...still schooling the littles and Big A doing school , just not CTC
**Start CTC the week of Aug 17th but show him the manual the Friday before (how it all works etc) and go out for ice cream to celebrate
IN the midst of this all, I am coordinating a Preschool Activity Swap that will be done during these weeks also..hasnt been too much work as of yet..but will take some of my time later that week we start CTC. Oh well..we'll just do school and everything else comes AFTER!
Ok thanks for letting me get my brain out on paper
