Planning My New School Year

OK I think I have hit a rut, I have to find ways to simplify my homeschooling. We are in our third year and this year we have definitely bitten off more than we can finish this year.

So next week we are just doing fun arts and crafts and reading. No regular learning, we need a week of doing fun things. Then during the week off for break, I am going to figure out what exactly has to be taught for the youngest for the fall term and find simple and easy way to teach and learn those things. I am going to try to ditch the workbooks, and find other ways to teach the things. We have fallen back to workbooks this year. And the youngest and I both hate them.
