Homeschool Memoirs - Schedules

Each homeschool schedule is as unique as the family that follows it. Reading other schedules can give ideas on how to plan your own or tweak it to make it more user friendly. Every year my schedule changes a bit (and often throughout the year as well) as we add students, subjects, and new grade levels.

As part of Homeschool Memoirs this week they are asking people to share their schedules, and since I just finished modifying it for the year ahead, here it is:

6:00 Exercise (me)

6:30 Personal Bible time (me)

I look forward to this new year with anticipation as to what it holds, the successes and challenges, the togetherness, the growth, the learning, the memories.

Dear God, I pray that this year of schooling would be a sweet offering to You. Please breathe through me each day with Your love, patience, and direction. I pray that each one of my children would grow not only in their academics, but more importantly in the clarity of their reflection of You. May you be glorified in our home.

~Amen
