Homeschooling 2011-2012 - A (gasp) Schedule!

So, this year I am doing something I have never done before! I purchased each of the kids a calendar for the 2011-2012 academic year. And then I wrote down what they will be doing every day for this upcoming year. I spent probably about 12 hours doing Katrina's schedule and now I need to do Jack's. Just in case you don't believe me...here's photos:)

Katrina is studying the following this year:

Saxon Math 7/6

Draw Write Now - books one and two and more if she likes them. Basic drawing concepts

The Art of Argument - so she can actually win some arguments...Jack will be studying this too

Learning Language Arts Through Literature - The Tan book (she'll be reading Big Red, The Bronze Bow, The Horse and His Boy and Carry on Mr. Bowditch)

Great Science Adventures: The World of Insects and Arachnids and Discovering the Ocean

Geography through Art

I am hoping that by having the plan written out like this and them seeing when they will have days off and when they will be done, it will help them to stay on track. Fingers crossed!
