If we finish our work early in any time slot, it’s bonus time to spend freely!
Having math in the afternoon made it seem like somewhat less of a priority and if our day was delayed at all, it could get squished into a very small time slot. Also, since summer has ended my youngest has returned to taking two naps a day on some days making the morning a great time to focus my attention on teaching the older ones. And completing all our curriculum based subjects in the morning and our CC based grammar in the afternoon just seems to make more sense to me.
I felt out our “first draft” daily schedule for two weeks, jotted down notes of things to change as we went, and made those little changes this week. Now, we’ll give these little changes a try for a few weeks and see how it goes from there. I don’t like to make big changes much, so I’m hoping these will stick!
How about you? How’s your schedule working for you?
Are you able to fit it all in?
