I noticed you said at the time you wrote this your daughter was 4 and in the first grade. Am I correct? I also have a little boy who turned 4 in August who is doing many things on a first grade level. I'm always looking for schedules other mom's are using. How do you fit in art and do you use any particular art resources? I was also wondering how your 4 year old can sit and do work consistently for 30 minute or more time intervals focusing on one subject. Since I have a boy, I know this may be part of it. He's smart as a whip, but if I tried to get him to sit down for 30 minutes of any subject, he'd revolt! :) He doesn't mind sitting for just 30 minutes, it's just I couldn't believe you can do 30 minutes for EVERY subject! We cover lots of subjects, and I feel we are pretty thorough for this age, but it takes us only 30 minutes or a little more to get everything done. Then he has ALL this free time. I like free time, but when it is all unstructured, it can lead to chaos with my other 2 year olds. Can't wait to hear more about how you accomplish this :). Thanks! Jen Hi there!
