The Schedule

So, I make one (or more) every year. Though I rarely follow it to the letter, it always serves me well, just to see where my time goes, how to fit in all that needs doing, and simply having a plan for the day.
Some explanation:

• The "5 fingers" refers to our 5 Finger Chores, which you can read about here.
• IEW happens Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; Logic, Dictation, and Science are Tuesday and Thursday.
• We have our Music study on Mondays, Latin is Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and we finish the week with Art on Friday.
