New Summer Schedule

Well, those kids in school finished a couple of weeks ago.  We took a "chill" week, then everyone had a week of camp.  Now we're into "real" summer - both activity-wise and weather-wise.  Whew!

So today we started our summer routine, and I must admit it went pretty well.

So here it is:

7:30 - Little girls up; breakfast; read aloud (today it was Winnie the Pooh); letters, numbers, pre-reading activities, calendar with Lena (Hanna watching, practicing)

9:00 - Big kids up; breakfast; start their lists

  • Read for 30 minutes or more
  • Math assignment
  • Reading/Spelling lesson
  • Chore for the week
  • Vision Therapy (Oleg)
  • Read Aloud - The Hobbit
  • Literature activity - The Hobbit

5:00-ish - Afternoon Clean Up

They must complete their lists before they can have computer time (on computer days) or play with friends.  They can take as long as they like to get it done well, but they are restricted by my time as well.  Some activities they need me, others they don't.  So they must budget their time.

Like I said, it worked well today.  Hopefully it will continue to work well - more often than not!
