Added to all this my 2nd grader studies Latin and a Bible curriculum with his daddy each week and has a free reading time each afternoon. My Kindergarten student studies Phonics each day and joins his brother for Art, Nature, and Composer Studies.
For the most part we are finished with school by lunch time and the boys have the rest of the day to play and explore. This gives me the time to attend to meals and other homekeeping duties, not to mention my sweet 3 year old!
