How do you make it all fit? Ancient Egypt

Hi. My girls and I kept getting too engrossed with the Bible readings and ended up doubling up fairly often. The History worked for us by having me read to them (The Ancient Egypt and its Neighors book and the Boy of the Pyramids) during lunchtime (since I eat faster than them). The readings typically carried over from lunch to the sofa, and sometimes we also read more than what it said for one day (even now with ANcient Greece). If they were too roudy/ not sleepy I would read to them before bed. I’ll have to admit that I have enjoyed the reading and dialoguing with them so much that I didn’t mind putting other things (like some chores) aside or delegating them to my husband, LOL. (Oh, and since we dialogued so much, on the days that the manual scheduled “Catch up or Exam”, we just did one day for Q/A and then kept rolling). The manual lists 5 days for that at the end of each Term, so you CAN catch up. So, in other words, YOU ARE DOING GREAT! Keep it up 🙂

we also are doing ANC Egypt, we gave up schedules a long time ago. i have one child remaining at home and 6 out of home. i found that the ones out of home have had need of “mom” due to various medical or pregnancy related issues. i can only tell you I approach each day with” intentional schooling” and we get things done. so at times it means we may get history done 5x in the week etc… i do not school year round . we begin mid august and finish up end of may.

hope this helps
