I’m sure you’ve all missed me terribly, and pined for me like a not-dead-merely-stunned parrot pines for the fjords. I’ll be picking right back with my regular weekly posts, like “Ask a [Smrt] Homeschooler” Tuesday and Secular Thursday, this week.
We’re starting some new curricula this semester: Lively Latin and Michael Clay Thompson’s Grammar Town (also getting the teacher manual). After Captain Science wraps up his Vocabulary from Classical Roots book, we’ll switch to Caesar’s English I, for compatibility with his grammar. Still up in the air about Practice Town.
To keep us on task a little better, I’ve made a color-coded schedule for Captain Science for Monday through Friday. I won’t go as far as Patchfire and make schedules for the whole family, adults included, but I think a detailed schedule for my somewhat scatterbrained son will help, not hurt.
Here, marvel at my schedule:

you dazzle me like Edward dazzles Pants. ;D
I think the schedule is great. I need one.
Well, I’m impressed. LOL. I stick at schedules. It is just too hard to know “who” is going to need me when. So I’m just a slave to my kid’s education from 8-1pm.
