This is the basic plan for our school days and it has been going pretty smooth so far. I had to change some subjects for Bethany & Isaiah as they just took too long to complete.. so for now Saxon Phonics & Saxon Math have gone on the shelf and we have switched to Abeka Math & flash cards & Starfall and Adventures in Phonics and lots of reading aloud for phonics & reading.. I really like the Charlotte Mason approach with Isaiah & Bethany.. doing no more than 20 min on one subject and then changing to something completely different.
Reading out loud is something that we have been gearing more towards. I like the 20 min. approach with Zeekie because of his attention span. May the Lord CONTINUE to bless your family, and you and your husbands obedience to such an awesome calling. I have been thinking allot about how to spend my time (and every moment) with all my blessings. Home school is tough in my season right now with toddlers, but I've been finding ways to entertain them with flash cards and games.
