Our homeschooling schedule

It was in the 90's a week ago and the 60's this week... Welcome to the Midwest!  I immediately went crazy planning school, making a fall house project list, and baked some muffins.  So this week I'll share with you what some of those things look like around here!  

Ever wonder what a 4th grade homeschooling schedule looks like?  Well look no further(=  Here's how we roll in our house.  Lily does Sonlight Curriculum (which I LOVE).  We throw in A beka Spelling, Singapore Math, kid's choir at church and Awana for Bible memorization.  She will be playing volleyball, skiing with dad and soccer for sports this year at a local, Christian school.  Believe it or not we are starting school today due to some long trips we have planned.  Love the flexibility homeschool offers!  Claire is in 1st and I don't print out schedules until 3rd when I feel they like a bit more ownership.  Claire will be doing Bob Jones curriculum 100%.  If you have questions on how we do             .  I would love to talk with you! Claire and River join in many things Lily is learning simply by default.  It's a beautiful thing!
