Nice.. I should do smt like that.. if I can find the time and the brain energy it takes to get it all on paper for 3 kids lol
It was fun to make - although I look at it now and wonder what the hell am I thinking, lol. A schedule is easier when you hs only 1. You need to fall into a groove, then on good days, write down what worked and see if you can do it again!
Impressive! I also liked your post on all the books and planning for the year ahead. I've started to order some books, check what the library can supply and a schedule is on it's way... I have an ongoing discussion with ds today that goes smt like "ok - in hs we would be doing math right now". I somehow want to give us a feel for what it would be like timewise.
So we are most likely hs come Sept, although dh is not all so certain yet, maybe at 75%...

Congrats on your decision to homeschool! I'm not sure how old your son is, but don't do too much for the first couple of months. Let him take the lead and you can ease into more of a schedule as the months go by. AS far as your dh, I found that keeping a log of what we do during the day helped him come around.
I appreciate you input, thank you.
At times I'm so certain this will be the best thing ever for my 8yr old and of course every now and then the "what if's" creep up - so I enjoy reading your seasoned advice and take on hs.
