Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Yesterday, I shared my schedule with you, and I had requests for the boys’ schedules. This is our 17th year of homeschooling. I have a 12th grader, 10th grader, 8th grader, and 5th grader. It’s going to be a busy year!
9:00 am – Boys get up; they do their morning routine. (Make bed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, get dressed)
10:00 am – House Blessings as a team and start laundry
10:30 am – Start school (Bible, History, Science, Math, Language Arts)
1:00 pm – Lunch
1:30 pm – Boys either finish school if it’s not done or have free time to play or read.
3:00 pm – Boys help with dinner prep and cooking.
4:30 pm – Dinner with the Family, and everyone works together for clean up.
5:00 pm – The son who is a senior has time with me to review his school work.
5:30 pm – Everyone puts away clean clothes from the day. We generally do two loads per day.
6:00 pm – Evening play time and devotions with Dad
8:00 pm – Family time and winding down for bed time
10:00 pm – Bedtime
Enjoy your day!
