I love that I didn’t have to wake anyone up because we had to get to school.

We’re using Leigh Bortins’ block schedule for managing multiple-aged children. I spent the first 20 minutes with Ty while the others worked independently.

Then I worked with Mia while Ty played and PJ continued to work.

Finally, I checked PJ’s work.

Then, science intro and chicken wing dissection.

We ate the wings we didn’t dissect.

While Ty was at his first day of preschool, we enjoyed some peace and quiet to run some errands and school a little bit more.

We ended the day with naptime for Ty and spelling for the big kids.  So far, so good.
