2011 Winter Schedule

I feel like I am always writing about schedule changes on my blog. LOL! I guess that is because we are always adapting our schedule, which is one of the perks of educating our children at home. With my part-time job as a substitute teacher, my schedule is never fully known from day to day. I am thankful for this part-time work and that I had a regularly scheduled classroom to work in one day a week, then I received news that my regularly scheduled classroom was cutting back and didn't need me every week anymore. Hmm, well that just makes it a little bit more difficult, but still manageable, I hope.

So, our new schedule is like this...you may find it quite strange...and that is OK. It is not you schedule. But, I hope anyone out there who wants to educate their children at home, but has to work part-time, will see that it is possible!

Days I am HOME - School time is 9am-3pm.

Days I am WORKING - School time is 3pm-9pm, except for Wednesday's. I can take a half-day job and do school from Noon-6pm and then we take off to Mutual.

Some days are reserved and jobs are declined, even if we badly need the money. These days are Friday's because of music classes and some Thursday's because of our homeschooling friend meetings which include Park Days and our TJED Teens Club. It has been a challenge to do so, especially with medical bills, Christmas break and the basic decline of available substituting jobs. The temp company I work for decided to hire another 100 substitutes, making job availability MUCH less.
