Weekly Schedule

I posted our new daily schedule in the last post, which I have to say has been the best schedule we have ever had! It's working really well for us.

Now I just wanted to post our weekly schedule for SOW...

Monday:
Devotional: Read Story & Discuss /Outline
Daily Studies: Read Text book / Discuss Questions (TE) /Diagram

Tuesday:
Devotional: Vocabulary

Extra: Project, Elective, etc.

Wednesday:

Extra: Watch Video

Thursday:
Devotional: Setting
Other Studies: Report
Extra: Project, Elective, etc.

Friday:
Devotional: Commentary
Other Studies: Makeup Day

Looks like it's going to work out really good. We might actually be able to do a SOW week, within an actual week!! What a concept!

By the way, by God's amazing provision we were able to buy almost everything we need to start SOWing. I'm just waiting for the books to come in the mail now. Which is the hardest part! LOL!

Oh, and I re-arranged the daily schedule a little bit since we've been doing it. First I made sure to add in a point that we share our work from the day before. We also do the devotional discussion questions then too. The other thing I changed was our prayer/singing time. I find that the kids are (naturally) very hungry when we get back from the walk. I don't want to walk after we eat, because honestly we need to do it right away otherwise I will put it off and won't do it. So, we do our praying and singing before the walk. That way when we get back we can just eat. I also try to prep the food so that it's all almost done & we don't have to wait too long to eat. Breakfast is one of our main meals around here, so we usually do things like eggs & toast, breakfast burritos, hammy potatoes, etc.

* I added these two changes into the last post that had the daily schedule.

I feel so blessed to spend these special days with my children. There is nothing better than those quiet moments on a walk when your daughter says, "Mom, I've been stepping on all of the price tags for the houses." (...those little painted boxes with the address on the sidewalk.) Such sweet and very precious moments I'm so grateful to be a part of.

Anyway, I hope someone out there benefits from me sharing my schedule. I think it's going to turn out to be a wonderful rhythm in our lives. There really is a beauty knowing what comes next in life. It makes the spontaneous that much more exciting!

God's blessing to you today...
