Getting Organized with Schedules – Part 2
After I made my 12 week schedule for our Middle Ages unit study (see this post – Keeping Organized with Schedules – Part 1), I then did another spreadsheet that shows me what we should be doing at what time. I put the times in to help keep me on track. You could also do a schedule that showed general blocks of time, for instance: 8:30-12:00a.m. Unit Study, 1:00-3:00p.m. Independent Study.

Russell is made of a different fabric than I. The longest I’ve driven in one stretch is 3 hours. Russell can go all night and then some more and that’s exactly what we did. But even he needs to rest sometimes. I never know where we’ll end up. This time it was in a little bitty town that must have a claim on Route 66 although that’s not the road we pulled off on. It looked like a fun store whose parking lot became our rest stop for the next 45 minutes. Nothing was open since it was early enough that most people were still sleeping. A little rest and he’s good…
