We're starting to get back into a decent daily routine with our homeschool. Baby brother (28 months) has been waking up early lately, so instead of trying to rush to get the girl's school done before he gets up in the morning, I've been doing circle time with all three kids every morning. It's a lot of fun and I'm realizing that just because I see the twins (4.5 years old) as academically advanced, it doesn't mean that I should forget that they enjoy singing, dancing, and listening to me read aloud picture books too. Then in the afternoon (while baby brother naps) we focus on a single 'subject': Sunday is Latin, Monday is Social Studies, Tuesday is Art, Wednesday is Science, Thursday is Music, Friday is History/Geography, and Saturday is 'Virtues'. It sounds like a lot but we totally play it by ear and 'school time' usually isn't more than 1-2 hours max these days. This past week we learned about China, families, Benjamin Franklin, and more. Here's a taste of how our week went...
