Welcome to
Week 4 of the Aussie NBTS Blog Hop. This week we are sharing a Day in our Lives.
In week one you
met my three children Mr T, Miss J and Sir N
who have all been homeschooled.
In week two I shared the
curriculum choices I have made for the year ahead with Sir N. This inspired me to share a
Time Line of my homeschool journey with you.
Week three saw us looking at
our learning spaces.
Well the last week had no typical days in our lives because in between it all I got sick and spent the days sleeping and calling in Paul to step in so I thought I would give you an approximation of a typical day in our lives.
An Average Day in Our lives goes something like this:
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90: 12

This list is what I aspire to but by no means is it always done but it's a good outline for us to work to.
I have a rough schedule or else I waste the time I have each day and do not accomplish much.
So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90: 12
We are very flexible and will stop what we are doing if visitors arrive. Some mornings and afternoons contain extra Murial activities and we adjust our schedule for that. For example we have swimming lessons on a Friday morning. We have a weekly play date etc.
Paul works on a rotation roster and will often be home during a weekday meaning we can go for day trips such as: {
Sustainability Expo, Fishing,
Ballet,
Hanging Rock,
Australia Post}
Don't forget to pop on over to
Our World Wide Classroom and read about other Australian Homeschoolers and what they do each day.
Blessings
Chareen
