Review 1

I have set up my school year into 10 day blocks. I think this is a good amount of time to be able to evaluate how things are working so I can make adjustments quickly. The first block has taught me a lot about what is going to work well for the girls this year and things they need, to make things go more smoothly. I am amazed at how much longer our school days are this year but I knew this would be the case when all 4 of my girls were ready to be active students.
