Most years, I divided up the chapters into hypothetical weeks, and aimed at so many lessons a week in each subject. We started a few subjects a day in mid August (because they were bored and all those pretty new books were there) and feathered out the end as things ended.
This year, I really listed every thing, and counted weeks we’ll have if we end in mid July (when band in the park’s pavilion starts) I’ve only written out weekly plans for the first 3 weeks, as we will surely have to adjust as we go along.
Today was actually peaceful as I had my notebook all ready telling me what to do, and I had the yearly check off list to record on. As I was looking at M’s assignments, to review the clockface as a preface to reviewing how to form the cursive letters, and to work 2 Miquon sheets, I realized that there were Miquon sheets ABOUT the clockface! That bought me a few more minutes to read the first chapter of the Fallacy Detectives with B, but it also mean that when M was bored, and K was napping…M was bored.
Efficientcy is not all it’s cracked up to be sometimes!
