Changing it up a bit

Our new gentle approach to homeschooling has been going well. The boys and I have really responded positively to it. Learning has always been the atmosphere of our home, but it's just feels different now. I truly think more learning is taking place. Well, with the exception of math. This seems to be the one subject that gets pushed to the side. Right now I have our book work scheduled as the last subject of our school day. It's not working. So, I have decided to revamp our schedule and try this out for the next few weeks.

Tuesday
1. History (both)
2. L.A. (Magnus; directed play for Thane)
3. Tea Time (Nature Reading)
4. L.A. (Thane; directed play for Magnus)
5. Math (Magnus)

Wednesday
1. Math (Magnus)
2. History (Both)
3. Tea Time (Poetry Reading)
4. L.A. (Magnus: directed play for Thane)
5. L.A. (Thane; directed play for Magnus)

Thursday
1. L.A. (Thane; directed play for Magnus)
2. Math (Magnus)
3. Tea Time (Nature Reading)
4. History (Both)
5. L.A. (Magnus; directed play for Thane)

Friday-"Fine Arts Friday"
1. L.A. (Magnus; directed play for Thane)
2. L.A. (Thane; directed play for Magnus)
3. Tea Time (Picture Study)
4. Math (Magnus-review with Math games)
5. Fine Arts (Magnus-Artistic Pursuits book 1; not sure yet for Thane...maybe AP too)

Like I mentioned, we are going to try this out and see if it works. I am still tossing around the idea of learning a variety of subjects everyday, but only for about 20 minutes at a time. This is how Charlotte Mason scheduled her schools. I am not convinced it would be a good choice for us, but I might try it out for a few weeks if the schedule I just posted doesn't work out well.
