i have spent the better part of the last few weeks really planning out our upcoming school year.

i am determined to have our entire year planned out to the 'T', both grades 1 & 4...page numbers referenced, chalboard drawings sketched out, handwork projects decided, etc. with that all said & done, i will be free to live in the moment of where we 'are', to be present for each block. that being said, i am open to adding/tweaking our lessons when new opportunities arise. :)
we have begun slowly sinking back into our rhythm...so that once we do officially start back we will all be good to go...

this is all in theory, of course...and the times are only there for reference (to keep me ontrack). they say it takes 21 days for a new habit to form, so after that this all will be second nature.
Your schedule plan looks lovely! And really doable (as long as you're not too hard on yourself on the hard days- that's where I trip up, sometimes). Your family is so lucky to have such a hard working, thoughtful Mama. Great job!
