Schedule- The Reality

8:30-9:00am- Providence rolls her sleepy self out of bed
9:30-10:00ish- Calendar/Story Time
10:30-12:00ish: playground/errands/lunch
1:00ish- math time (I get about 10-15 minutes before it becomes a battle)
3:00- get Jackson
3:30ish- science time
Then the dinner/evening/other stuff
8:30- Magical time where I can get Providence to work. We do reading and writing, because those are her two least favorite things to do. She will sit with me and work for about 45 minutes to an hour.

That's the beauty of homeschool. I don't have to do traditional school at home. We can work at night if we want to. I really think that we made the best decision in keeping her home. Kindergarten would have been far from entertaining.

I'll let you know how that one goes. Fynn will be working as he choses or when I need him occupied. Atticus isn't napping consistently yet, so I will work those in when I figure it out.
