5th Grade

Sample Schedule
So I've shown a lot about how I juggled all 3 kids to this point.  Instead, I'll give you a sample of what a 5th Grade schedule looked like in my house for each kid. It looks like it got longer, but I think I just got more specific. We did more as a family when my #1 kid was in 5th Grade and less as they all got older.  I also started teaching a co-op class with other homeschool kids on Wednesdays for Writing & Science.  Then my kids could choose what day to do the homework, so it's listed multiple times.  These were their weekly checklists that they would turn in to me with their work.
