The other day you asked me how much time...Hi Annie,<br />The other day you asked me how much time I spend HS all the kids. Well we have 6 so it does take more time! The two oldest go to a 2 day a week homeschool co-op from 10:30 to 3. The other 3 days of the week are spent doing homework and doing the schoolwork that they don't do there.(history,latin, etc) They are both pretty independent and keep up with their assignments. I help them when they need it. <br /><br />I try and work first thing with Kai and Corwin (both 5). We usually do a bible story first and then maybe a page of explode the code. Then I have them play legos, color or do something else for awhile. So that take about an hour.<br /><br />Then I work with my 9 year old son. He is not independent! We usually start around 10 have lunch at 12:30ish and are done by 2-2:30. During that time, I will also work with Kai and Corwin some off and on. Today while Samuel did his math and I sat there, Kai and Corwin sat at the table and did a math page. There are interruptions of course so sometimes we aren't done at 2:30. My 11 year old daughter is really independent too. She looks at the lesson plan book and does the lesson. If she needs help I help and I also check all her work. <br />And mixed in all that is meals, laundry, fights, piano lessons, library, etc....you get the picture!<br />LesaLesa and Samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885473678835939794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884663499900075600.post-83758093266912440662010-08-24T13:47:57.488-04:002010-08-24T13:47:57.488-04:00Love it - we've used the rice idea with our se...Love it - we've used the rice idea with our sensory gal, too. And - if you try the shaving cream idea - tape down a black trash bag rather than using a cookie sheet. You can see the letters better against the black and clean-up is easier.a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884663499900075600.post-14782005064841296252010-08-24T11:34:20.988-04:002010-08-24T11:34:20.988-04:00Thanks everybody!!

Lo...What a great post on homeschooling your girls! Looking back those were fun years with my boys. I don't like messes, so never did the writing in a mess, but you go girl! 4 yr olds and homeschooling, you will be able to tell how long, but most likely no more than 2 hrs of straight school. You are obviously creative, so un-school will happen the rest of the day! I have my big boys back home this year, so I have 4 homeschooling. Crazy but fun days with my kids!

I've also heard drawing in shaving cream is also great fun.
