Schedule sample #3

Here is my schedule. Right now it is VERY loosely followed. Although I must admit that my 6YR keeps asking, "What is next on the schedule Mommy?" :D I am happy to be starting her so early. The following schedule is for weekdays and days where Daddy is working. I have a separate more loose (VERY loose) schedule for the weekends and days where Daddy is off (as we want to be open to what he wants to do).

So for what it's worth, there it is. At least for now. It was pretty difficult to come up with a schedule and still be true to the free learning that I want my children to encounter. But that is the great thing about schedules - if they don't work, keep praying and revise.
