Monday was a really good day, at least homeschool-wise.
Well, beside the part about my van needing to be towed to the dealership twice in one day. Yes, we towed it there twice. Second time is the charm, I hope :)
So, Monday was a really good day, we got so much done. The secret? I planned ahead.
Yes, 11 years of homeschooling- and I don't plan ahead much. {secret confession}
Sunday I sat down, and not only did a smidgen of preparing, like I am apt to do...but I sat down and typed up schedules for DD16 and DD14 for the week. I haven't been doing this, since Sonlight gives me these nice schedules all done (love it!)
But, DD14 just finished Core 6 and we decided we don't have the funds for Core 7- so I will be putting together a History reading list for her, based on Story of the World vol.3 (which I adore).
DD16 does very well working with her Sonlight Core 100 schedule and using her syllabus for the classes she takes through the Biola Star program (Physical Science, Lit & Comp) but..she tends to get a bit free and loose with her other subjects. I realized I need to type up what she needs to do for the week, so I can see when she doesn't do them...ahem.
I also planned out which subjects I wanted to tackle with the 3 younger students- and we started our first day with Writing with Ease . The day went by very smoothly and clockwork.
LOVE IT! Sky is not surprised, it is a logical way to do things, but of course I am not logical.
I hope all of my bloggy-friends are having a great week, too!
And that you don't have to tow your van ;)
