Homeschool, Planning Next Year, Update, Vintage Library Collection

Here’s the upcoming plan

Dae-dae

I’m going to continue organizing and adding things here over the next few weeks. Going to try and get the Vintage Library Collection at least started beyond what I already have. Then over the next month or two as I put together next year’s curriculum I will be updating as I finalize each kiddos individual lessons, family subjects and our schedule. So stay tuned…

Homeschool, Update

Oops

Dae-dae

I know I said I would update. The thing is for some reason this homeschool year has been chaotic. So I’m not going to go into much detail and whatnot. I did however want to show y’all what our weekly schedule has been for the most part. It’s typically a 4 to 5 hour day depending on their level. Though sometimes we are done earlier. The youngest however is typically done between 45 minutes to an hour. This schedule more so reflects the older four kiddos, while the bottom one reflects the youngest.
