Today went better than yesterday. I'm not really sure why.
I'm all ready for tomorrow. The kitchen table has been cleaned off. The white board was brought upstairs. I decided that Joshua gets to have school every day too, because I don't think I can do one child with school and one without, especially on the days I need to work too.
While I've seen all kinds of schedules floating around on Facebook, I'm taking a slightly different approach. I've made a list of the things that 'need' to be done. We'll cut them out tomorrow and they can choose the order. Obviously, I can take out things or change the order a bit if needed...recess needs to happen at the same time for both boys. I can't help two children at once, etc. This gives them some control while still having a rhythm to the day. If they finish early, they finish early and can enjoy free time. If it takes them forever, then it takes them forever.
I especially like how both of them felt the need to write on their papers.
