Yesterday was my official Homeschool Planning Day
(it was supposed to be last week... but I mentioned that already didn't I?)
Not only that but I have exactly 12 weeks in which to finish the 12 week term. Margin for error = 0.
Can I just say that my adreniline was actually pumping as I was finishing up preparations last night?! Oh but I came to realize that was nothing to get excited about, because as I was going over my calendar figuring and such - I realized that in addition to the 3rd term of AOy5, I have to start AOy1 with my 7yo tomorrow too! I just 'bout fainted dead away.
So, today I've been scrambling. I was planning to unofficially start AOy1 back in January, but was distracted by upwards of a thousand other things. We've been working steadily on all the important stuff with my 7yo. You know, like living and learning, so much so that I didn't even realize we hadn't unofficially started her official education yet. SO... now it's come down to the wire... like dental floss gage wire. Yikes.
Here was my to-do list for yesterday:
Divide Shakespeare readingsDivide Physics Lab readingsPrint AO's Plutarch reading, divide into 12 readingsPrint Age of Fable p.79-88 (I don't follow the suggested readings), divide readings over 12 weeks- Print Artist/Composer study pages {out of color ink...shoot!}
Print An Island Story (ch.110-114)Decide copywork selections- Find and download Folksong/Hymn selections {hubby needed the computer...urgh}
Decide handicraft focus - buy materialDecide & print memory work selections- Buy any y6 books that are lacking
Format checklists- Schedule YEAR ONE readings, for goodness sakes!
I'm still working today...
It's an effort to figure it all out, but I know I'm not the only one who does this :)
