So, awhile ago a friend posted their routine. I thought it was great but it didn't fit us. So I wrote out our 'routine'. Whatever that was.
Over the past weeks or months since that post things have 'changed'. As in, I have realised our routine is a bit more routine-ish.
So here it is:
7-9am Morning Jobs inc. breakfast
9-12 noon Homeschooling (Language Arts, Maths)
12-1pm LUNCH
1-2pm Quiet Time - Read SELF Books & BE QUIET
2-4pm Free play/outing/Homeschooling (Cooking, Science, Soc. Studies)/Sport (Dancing/Tee Ball)
4-5pm Afternoon Jobs/Prep Dinner
5-6pm Dinner, Ready for Bed
6-7pm BED (Okay, so sometimes BED goes over 7pm)
So that is the MAIN gist of things.
On another note, some one asked me 'how do you do it?' (meaning school the kids with young ones). My answer is: We ALL do 'school' together. Kind of like playing a giant game with different players of different skill levels. Except I am the referee and I need to be ALERT or the mess occurs. No, wait, the mess occurs regardless...
So that is our routine & how "I do it". In short.
(Kids ages: 5yrs 11 1/2 mths, 3yrs 11mths, 2yrs 4mths, 8mths)
5 Things I am Thankful for:
1. A routine that works for US
2. Flexibility within the routine
3. Quiet Time - it is a GREAT time of the day
4. Free play - Kids love it
5. Job times. Things get done when they need to
