Homeschool Plans - Jan 2016

We usually start our learning by reading & discussing the scriptures and I read from a chapter book (Escape from Baxters' Barn right now). After this, I meet with Austin & Nyah to focus on one subject per day for about an hour (Mon-math, Tue-physics, Wed-history, Thur-language arts, Fri-commonwealth). Austin is ready for this more intensive work,while Nyah comes & goes as she's interested. Then they work on their weekly assignments (Khan Academy every day, reading, writing, etc.), while I work one-on-one with Olivia, Jolie, & Sophie for about 30-45 minutes each.
