On the first day of homeschool
While teaching Anna-Lee
Spanish co-op ceased to be.
On the second day of homeschool
While teaching Anna-Lee
The cello teacher's late
And Spanish co-op ceased to be
On the third day of homeschool
While teaching Anna-Lee
Her room smells of paint
The cello teacher's late
and Spanish co-op ceased to be.
On the Fourth day of homeschool
While teaching Anna-Lee
She's playing scales for her audition
Her room smells of paint
the cello teacher's late
and the Spanish co-op ceased to be.
On the fifth day of homeschool
while teaching Anna-Lee
she learns negative numbers
she's memorizing Luke
writing a magazine
reading Pilgrim's Progress
and she's studying music theory
she's playing the cello
enjoying the clarinet
thinking about worldview
and she's hosting some company
running to the library
doing a craft
drawing and painting
on the first week of our homeschool journey
Not exactly as we planned and expected, but that in itself was to be expected.
AND we are back down to our two days out of the house per week. God's Wisdom.

September Flurries
No, not snow flurries.
Just the crazy, chaotic flurry of activity and logistics that comes with the new schedules, new routines, and new commitments of a new September.
Last year I discovered two days of the five out of the home was perfect. Enough to do some great outside activities while still spending enough time at home to focus on academics. I also discovered it was important not to break up the day but to have outside of home activities first thing or last thing of the day.
This year Anna-Lee has chosen to step out of all her dance activities and focus more on music, so her schedule reflects this.
However, here I am this year (at least the first term) looking at three of the five days containing out of house activities.
Reworking time of day and having a friend drive vs taking Para Transpo are a couple of the ways I am trying to solve this dilemma. Holding on to the other two days with no outside committments becomes even more important, and being free to pull out if it gets too much is an option.
We will also start slowly, and work our way up to the full schedule thorughout the month of September.
So what does our new September week look like?
Monday: at home day
Possibly, outside of home (one term only) Come Januray it will be an at home day.
