We have taken varied approaches to homeschool in the past three years.
I have fluctuated between being somewhat of a Classical task master, to embracing my inner Charlotte Mason. I can see a distinct advantage to each, depending on the situation.
I've been struggling with the question: Is sticking to a schedule a good thing or a bad thing? More specifically, is sticking to a schedule of assignments a good or bad thing?
I've had a few readers ask me to explain how we "fit everything in", or "what does a typical day look like in your homeschool?". This post will show how I try to schedule our days to accomodate a rigorous education, but still retain enough time for pursuit of interests and also much needed rest.
I will also share with you a very SIMPLE way I am keeping records this year!
The goal of this post is to ENCOURAGE you - not to make you feel like you aren't doing nearly as much as me - because believe me, there are days when I feel that we have not accomplished much of anything. There are also days when I feel we have knocked it out of the park. We have highs and lows just like everyone else.
