FRIDAYS
Friday is usually a fun day - free play most of the day, or field trips, play dates. We'll do school "work" if we need to review some things or if we get a little behind (or need to get ahead).
Being a visual person, I have all this recorded on paper, I drew out each day individually(i am that visual) and put these activities in time slots, however, I made this schedule as a guideline to help keep us (me) on track. We may not follow the planned schedule at the exact time listed on the paper, but we are doing everything in the same order.
Whew! These are some pretty eventful days!
we have fridays reserved for play and field trips, too! have a great year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post! I always love to see how others get through the day!
ReplyDeleteHi from HHH! There is such a balance when homeschooling. Taking advantage of the freedom and flexibility for learning and yet having a routine to keep everything (and Mommy) on track!
ReplyDeleteHave a great year. Hope the schedule works out great for everyone. :)
