K4 Weekly Review - Week 10

Well, we are doing pretty well so far!  I can't believe it has been 10 weeks, and we have done most of what I had planned on the day I planned it for.  This is a big deal for me since I am usually a horrible procrastinator.  The biggest fear I had about homeschooling was just if I would be able to get it done everyday.  We are only doing K4 so we are talking about 30 to 45 minutes here, but I figure it is a good step in the right direction.   For me having a schedule has really helped.  We do school at the same time everyday, which is during my son's nap time.  I also only planned on doing 4 days a week, so if something does come up we can use Friday to catch  up.  It is working very well!

I think it is time to break up the monotony of my weekly review...I am going list style this week.
