I don't stick to a strict schedule, but I do like having a sense of how a school day should play out :)<br /><br />One suggestion for younger ones, I kept separate toys in buckets in the school room for my son to sit and play with while I did a subject with my daughter. The school toys were only available while Sweetling was doing math with Mommy, so that helped make them special and kept him engaged. (I put things in there like magnetic blocks, a magna doodle board, puzzles, playdough, etc. Or, sometimes I would let him put a smock on, put shaving cream on his little desk, and he could smear the shaving cream around and practice letters while Sweetling and I worked.)<br /><br />I also have a friend who did a book review on teaching preschoolers. you can find that here: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/MrsIncredible/705724/Mrs. Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704759677351263775noreply@blogger.com
