Wow! That five weeks flew by so quickly! I believe part of the reason was working on Jesse's room. And no the last two things are still not up. I may post pictures anyway; I know some of you are anxious to see it. :)
We started a new schedule, as you know. Mondays were going to be more "Funday" (Jesse's name). Mondays were going to be for art, home ec, Spanish and geography. But something kept nagging at me. So, yesterday as they were doing art, I pulled out this year's calendar and next year's. I started counting the days they would have in school, then subtracted all the Mondays that would be "Funday". I truly wanted to bang my head on the wall. If we did "Funday" all year, at the end of the year the girls would be 28 days behind in math!! Day one and our schedule was totally flawed!
I sat there staring at the calendars, hoping for a miracle. Well, days were not going to be added to the calendar for my benefit, so our schedule had to change. The question was, "how?" Jesse, of course, did not want to change anything about "Funday". She had looked forward to it for, what a week-and-a-half?! The best solution was to add math to Mondays. Jesse says, "it is no long Funday, just Monday." She'll adjust; she has no choice. :)
We'll see what comes next.

It's hard to get that perfect schedule! I think I may change a few things next year. (I say next because we haven't finished this school year yet.)Sigh.
I feel like we barely finished this year. I think the new schedule will work; however, I'm finding they are both needing me more for specific subjects. Not sure that will effect everything else.
Good luck finishing up the year; I know this is suppose to be your planning time. :(
