Day to Day Happenings (this is it!)
As you know (or may not), this is our second year of Five In A Row, so for detailed weekly posts check out my Five In A Row tab bar at the top and you'll be directed to a page listing all the rows we've done over the past two years.
We don't school under a strict time schedule-- *I* am just not capable of that... It would bother me too much if we were "off" even a little bit. Therefore, I draft a general weekly plan and we go from there. Our schedule is going to be a bit wacky the next couple weeks, but for the past four weeks it has gone something like this:

Thus far I am liking this arrangement! I like reading the book the first day and then completing the rest of the activities throughout the week. I typically plan a weekend or two ahead, so the extra reading day gives me a chance to find or think of any other activities to fit in our week. There are a couple more things from my curriculum posts that I need to add/ rotate in, so we'll see how that all goes. I also have Tyler read to me everyday and he'll do copy work once a week-- but not on any particular day, just when I see fit.
