Is there a better way to fit it all in with all three kids? They are all on such different levels, that it is hard to bring them together for math/language arts. They do everything else together. If they are not enjoying something, we stop.
Also, Jared sticks pretty much to this schedule, Hannah participates when she wants to (I do not force it at all, but usually she is eager to do her next "job"). Nathan is not assigned anything at all (of course) but where I have him working on fine motor skills just means that I have prepared activities available to him if he would like to do them (lacing cards, stacking, sorting, stickers, etc, etc).
Oh, and anything on the schedule can be pre-empted by things like watching a squirrel outside our window or a special guest at the library the kids would like to see. We are not too strict with it, but *I* need to know which direction I'm moving in and what I am supposed to be doing, or nothing will get done.
We also have co-op all day long every other Thursday. We do KONOS projects in the morning on Thursdays that we don't have co-op.
