How our day moves forward

I have determined Blogging is a lot harder than I thought.  I figured I would jot down ideas and share pictures but life takes over and then I realize it been a couple months since my last post.

We have started a New Year, three month into our adventure and we are a couple weeks away from the second quarter reporting.  I started a New FB page for the LT Homeschool Adventure  https://www.facebook.com/pages/LTs-Homeschool-Adventure/659704990806484
and I found inspiration from Teachers pay Teachers on material that is designed from those who know children the best.  I have to rework worksheets on lined paper LT can write on and by following a lot of these amazing teachers through blogs and other social media outlets I have been inspired to start working on our own designed worksheets.  The realistic goal is to aim for the next academic year but we will be testing out some in our 3rd grade setting.

Here is a snap shot of our day today.  

Planning desk has a nice view of outside.

Little man always complained about being tired last year so I decided to allow him to wake up on his own sleep schedule.  He wakes up anywhere between 8 to 9:30 and we have had very few melt downs or complaints about being tired since we went this route with him.  

Currently we are running on a half day schedule because I am not feeling well but we were a head of schedule before the break and should be caught up and back on schedule by the end of the week even on the half day schedule.

Planning time while the girls are getting ready for school

While his old school is already in session, LT is still snoozing away

Working on a geography lesson

I am a morning person so I do my planning in the morning.

Our day starts anywhere from 9 to 10 o'clock depending on when LT gets up and when the girls are not home until late our day usually doesn't end until almost 4.   We have lots of movement breaks and longer lunch time.  The day is set up with tasks that need to be completed.  Lawrence takes longer to complete a task, so we are not focused on time restraints right now but we are focused on starting and finishing a task.

Next we should, fingers crossed, be back to our full routine and hopefully I'll be able to keep up with blogging.

Happy New Year and Thank you for reading and following our adventure.
