We are trying that method for the first time this year and I find it freeing! We're staying on track much better too - maybe it's because there is no guilt at the end of the day over what we didn't accomplish. When I did lesson plans, I would always fret and get upset over anything that wasn't done and that just seemed counter-productive for both me and my girls.<br /><br />Wonderful thoughts on your weekly schedule - love the Friday idea!Iron Girl!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18290069923554586758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617679258947531913.post-51176273112053037192010-09-08T09:29:16.558-05:002010-09-08T09:29:16.558-05:00Love your ideas thanks for sharing!

Everyone gathers for the boys read alouds, even though my girls have already done the story. I am trying to free up Fridays for fun stuff but my oldest still needs to do math and science. Last year I pitched the IG and just read by the "stack" method. which means I put all the books in order and just read as we wanted. Check out Oh My Stinken Heck's blog for great tips on Sonlight. I am using her idea of just pulling a week of the IG out for the girls at a time. Those binders are way to big :-)Heidi Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17695248454895118891noreply@blogger.com
