First Day of School.

Hmmm. That is my feeling right at this moment. We began our school year today and I have to say things did not go as planned.

Last year both of the kids worked on the same subject at the same time. I usually got TT started and then worked with Poogie. Well, that is not going to work this year. Each of them have lessons that require more teaching before actually doing the work. This means they need to have their undivided attention on the lesson, and not on what the other one is doing.

I feel that both of them could complete their core lesson and seat work in about two hours. That includes, Grammar, Reading, Phonics, Math, and Spelling. So I would like to do two hours with TT and then work with Poogie for two. Then in the afternoon we could work on science and history together. This also allows each of them one on one time with me while the other could work on exploratory subjects such as typing, foreign language, and music (guitar and recorder).

I am going to try this method starting tomorrow and see what happens.
