Our Homeschool Day...No Two Days Are The Same

www.diverginglives.com

Our homeschool schedule is a work in progress.  No two days are ever the same!  I'm sure many of you can relate.  The schedule I posted below are typical days.  We are constantly having to make room in our day and change things around due to therapies and appointments.  Although we do have occurrences that happen every day, they just may not happen at the same time every day.  I try to remain as flexible as possible, but still keeping the flow of our day consistent.   

New to our schedule this year is our oldest two children (ages 18 and 20) are now in college.  They attend a local community college only miles from our house.  Even though only one of them drives, they still carpool as much as possible.    

You might notice that I don't break our schedule down by subjects.  We do accomplish reading and math everyday.  We do unit studies which cover one topic at a time (either history or science).  We incorporate lots of movement breaks and hands-on activities since our children have short attention spans, sensory processing disorder and learning difficulties.
