• Getting the Itch to Plan

  I'm really starting to get that "itch"! I don't know why exactly. I have about 90% of our texts already and I'm raring to get started. I'm one of these people who likes to have everything done WAY before I'm supposed too. LOL!

• Planning Worldy Wise

  I have a question for those who use Wordly Wise. How you do schedule it? I got book 3 for ds (6th grade). This is our first year using it and it is really just an added bonus for ds. His vocabulary is pretty good, so I am not sure he really needs this. Anyhoo, there is only 20 lessons, with five activites per lesson. Do you schedule out one activity per day and then finish the book early in the year? Do you begin the next book?

But with so much of our school being done with both together it makes no sense to do with her and then just have to redo when the guys come home. So August is all that I have done for now. How about the rest of you? Are you done with planning or do you have a lot more to do

• Working on Scheduling

  Last night I stayed up to 2:30am scheduling the boy's english, latin, and spelling. I used Donna's one subject plannersin MSword. My hope is to copy and paste these onto the weekly schedules. At 2:00am I thought I was getting my second wind, so I decided to make bookmarkers for the first two lessons of spelling. At 2:30am I thought they looked really great. Nice and big for a fifth grader. ...
