Taking Responsibility...A Little Bit @ A Time

On Sunday evening I usually try to get the kids' schedule for school ready for the next week. I was working on a paper for my class and so I missed the time that I usually get that done. 

Lee was giving me tips last week on how to organize her schedule in a way that she likes. I was busy but she wanted me to get her schedule done. Funny how that works- when I want her to do something, well... anyway.

She was pacing back and forth with nothing to do yesterday afternoon and just all of a sudden came to the realization that she can do her own schedule. Lol I've been trying to get her to do it for most of the year!

I checked it over and she did quite well. I worried, honestly, that she would make it easy on herself by scheduling less pages/chapters per subject because she was planning it herself. Surprisingly (and I guess I shouldn't have been surprised) she split the pages/chapters up well for the week.

Now, since she planned it and plotted it herself, perhaps she will be motivated to do it even if I am busy. That is the next thing to work on ;)

  2. Thanks for stopping by Homeschool Circus and letting me know I'm your long lost twin ;-)

    I've enjoyed your post about letting your oldest schedule herself. It was very encouraging and I'm hopeful that one day soon my 12 year old will be following suit!!

    I'm following you via GFC and I'm curious to see posts about Ambelside (we considered using it)
