So I thought I would write out what I have planned this week for homeschool. As I mentioned before we are doing an adapted version of Ambleside's Year 1 Charlotte Mason curriculum for the summer.

Our school day still currently ends around 12:00-12:30 and we break for lunch. After lunch we hang out, relax, maybe watch a movie. A plays outside or sets up scenes in the house and we try to practice violin at least several afternoons a week as well as bake, craft, paint, and once a week A has swim lessons at the pool with a highschool swim team student. So far, we are having a lot of fun. I will try to post some pics later this week of our week. Goodnight for now.
