Flipping into Fun School - Schedule for the week of Feb 15th

We have switched completely over to Thinking Tree/Dyslexia Games for the core of our education.  Here is our trial schedule, I am sure it will change as we are always adjusting and changing things to meet our ever changing days.  We are on a 6 day work week schedule, the 7th day we take off for resting in the Lord, and just having a good old fashioned family day.  No working, other than basic keep everyone feed chores.

EVERYDAY

Everyday bedrooms tided(so mom can walk through without crunching something), animal and house chores completed by 10 am.  This gives everyone time to go through their morning routines, eat, and do some studying in PJ's before gearing up to brave the weather. In the evenings we also have a few animal chores, and household responsibilities.  Through out the day are many outdoor adventure opportunities. 

Lux 9 years old

Money Time - 20 Min of Are you a Math Genius? She does one lesson with mom, then gets to color the pictures, practice adding, and count her money.

Daily Topic or Project - 30 Min Together we pick something fun to learn, recording it in her 4H Journals or her Ages 6 to 9 Fun-Schooling Journal.

Math Time - 20 Min of Life of Fred Apples (with reading assistance) and then Base Ten blocks or some other hands on math fun.  

Listening Time - 30 Min to color or play with a sticker book while listening to Little Women.

Quiet Time - 30 Min alongside sisters and mom having a snack and working on our Quiet Time Journals or something from our baskets.

Dad Time - At least 3 times a week, 15 min recording our learning with dad in the Dad Time Journal. Many hours a week are spent learning with dad this time of year, but it's not always easy to remember to take a moment and grab the journal.  I am sure this journal will be a kick to look back on when the kids are grown.
