Just three teacher planning days left!

I think I finally have the schedule I want for this coming school year. Homeschooling six kids can be a challenge to make sure everyone's needs are met, so it can take a bit to tweak it just the way you like. Especially this year with my oldest doing AP classes at home.

For my 6th grader and younger kids, I'm adding in what I call, Individual Time: It's what it sounds like, 30 minutes with me for personal time. It could be to teach my youngest to tie his shoes, for learning to cut and paste, it could be extra help on math or reading, learning to cook or whatever skill that particular child needs to work on.
