Every day of the week has it's own rhythm for us. Our Tuesday or Friday look nothing like Monday, Wednesday or each other. I have had a lot of people ask how we fit in all of our extra activities (sports, Bible study, Scouts etc.) and stay on top of our actual schooling. I am NOT at all an unschooler, and the academics are VERY important to us, so we do not neglect them, but we do work them in with the other things we want to do. I will show sample lesson plans for the rest of the week for that reason.
