School - It's that time again!

 We are still 100% enjoying our summer break and we still have a full month before we start school.  Yet, this is the time of year I start to think about our schedule and our/my goals for the school year.  Last year was so different because our friends where here from the start of school until the end of January doing their own virtual school too.  That made it hard to stick to some of our routines and goals.  Four kids with four different computer schedules and online times was hard to coordiante.  I'm hopeful that this year my two can not only get their class work done but also their seatwork items that we need to accomplish as well.  

Our schedule is still up in the air some because I'm not sure when Piano lessons will be or what time Nate's guitar lessons will be (I have looked to see when the group lessons were previously so I have an idea . . .)  Anyway, I have put together a basic plan as follows:

Monday-Thursday

9:00-10:00 - Josh works on Math and Science with me.  If time we will hit on art, ed tech or health.  Nate will be on his own working on his Language Arts Lesson.  

10:00-11:00 - Both kids will have seatwork time and free time.  I also set this hour up so I have time to get things done as well.  Last year their schedules did not overlap and I ended up without a break from 9:00-3:00 every day.  

11:00-12:00 - Josh works on LA; Nate and I will work on Math, Science and art, ed. tech or health

12:00-1:00 - Lunch

1:00-2:00 - Nate has Seatwork time; Josh and I will do Social Studies and any other lessons that need to be done.

2:00-3:00 - Josh has Seatwork time; Nate and I will do Social Studies and any other lessons that need to be done

** From September 13-October 18 Josh has running club so we will be gone from 12:30-3:30 on Mondays.  

** Josh as drums from 11:00-11:30 on Wednesday (so gone from 10:45-11:45).  

** Piano - once I know a day and time I'll work it in! 

** Nate will have guitar lessons - I think they will be in the evening on Tuesdays. 


I'm still on hold with their schedule too as the online site is not updated yet with that info.  I like to set up our schedule specifically for us!
