I only have one child to homeschool, and the only reason I keep a calendar is because there are outside activities to keep up with, as well as my mother's doctor appointments. Fortunately, our curriculum takes care of most of the planning for us (we use Time4Learning, online), but we never seem to get to the super fun things, like extra science projects. I hope to do better with our scheduling this year, and I will probably "take a page from your book" and write more things down. Are your children agreeable to participating in such an organized schedule?Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098657041190344161.post-56314232956000803272011-07-31T12:39:28.000-04:002011-07-31T12:39:28.000-04:00Actually the less children you have, the less plan...Actually the less children you have, the less planning you need to do, because you can just open the book and go and fit it in the day as you wish. The kids actually cooperate better if I give them a plan. They tend to ask "what is next?""How many more do I have to do?" and these kinds of questions, so having it laid out for them is comforting.I am the one who is more resistant to following a schedule. They may complain about the amount but I think it is good for them to learn diligence and discipline early. If I see it is too much I cut back on how much they have to do.joellehttp://homeschoolblogger.com/members/umanjoelle/noreply@blogger.com
