A March Day
For this homeschool year I decided our schedule would not be based on times but rather on items that needed to be completed before the end of the day. LT always complained about being tired last year so instead of setting an alarm I allow him to wake on his own. Our homeschool day starts any where between 9 and 10 am.
Two days a week our school day begins after therapy. On these days and when it is nice out we do try to wander around in the environment until lunch time.
We cover math, reading, writing and science. We just picked up a new health, safety and manners curriculum and we switched gears with our spelling program. I also found a STEM curriculum that we are going to start in the next week. I am not about busy work but rather allow for free time for him to explore his interests.

Sometimes the free time is used to explore some educational games.
Since the "nicer" weather is returning we are going to try to do a mile walk every morning. Fresh air and physical activity and some much needed natural vitamin D.
We finished our time Chapter in Math Mammoth and started our money Unit.
It is nice to have a curriculum completely laid out for you. It took me a lot of research and time to finally decide on this curriculum and LT is really liking the layout of the program. We should be finishing up with our first Unit this week. This came from A Beka Books, third grade.
LT was doing really well with spelling but not really learning why we spelling items they way we do.
I had been researching this since I started looking into homeschooling and finally decided to purchase the program. Our first day went really well and he enjoyed the magnet board letters. This program comes from All About Learning , a homeschool Reading and Spelling program.
Most of the program we use mix up the medium to learn the task at hand. This gets LT out of his seat moving around through out the day. Which is good for him since I classify him as wiggly anyway.
As soon we get through our first units in our three new programs I will do a review of how they work in our homeschool setting.
