#8: Week in the life of….1983 (Part I of II)

15 minutes

Week in the life of….1983..our first year of homeschooling.

Typical morning

Lisa dropped off 7:00 on my mom’s way to work

Independent list until I was ready

Joshua 12-18 months old…get up, rock, sing, read posters on his wall

Once Joshua was ready for day/fed, I checked Lisa’s work so far and taught her reading and math

She had joined little church band, so she had several independent activities on her list: Cleaning job, practice clarinet, silent reading, math drill, read to Joshua, misc assigned from our reading and math lessons, biography reading, geography workbook…

2. Typical afternoon

I read history and science with her

We also baked, cooked, organized, and played with Joshua throughout the day

Most days were similar

Saved some intense lessons for when Joshua napped

She was picked up at 3:30 when Mom got off work unless it was art class or Y night or mid-week service
