My basic plan for our days is as follows:
Morning Time
English
French
Spelling with my littles
Reading aloud
Math
History
Science
This order is based on the number of kids working in each discipline. We all do Morning Time and English together. I'm still not sure if Nathan and Ben will want to study French with us. If not, they'll use that time for their Latin studies. Then we peel off Judith and Rebekah while I work with Joel, Melody, and Eliza in spelling and read aloud to the three of them. After that, it's independent work time for everyone. If I can corral my teaching time into a solid block, it's more likely to happen consistently than if I try to break it up through the day.
Next week we'll start everything but science (still on order or undecided). Latin starts in mid-September.
I'm basically prepared for everything I'll be teaching. I hope to use the kids' independent work time for the next few weeks to get our physical surroundings more organized and de-cluttered. It's a slow, slow process.
