Remember that the "Facts about..." pages and other extras are not included in the blog text, but they are included in the printable version. Some of the ideas in these plans came from Brightly Beaming Resources. Each daily session of "School Time," as my son calls it will last about half an hour. Adjust the lessons for your child's age and level of education. Enjoy!
