Thursday

8:30 practice guitar
9:00 heat transfer quiz
9:15 daily news quiz (great online resource!)
9:30 study spelling and vocab
9:45 Creative writing using sight and distance
10:45 math at school, stay for lunch.

1:00 practice guitar
1:30 Read Devil's Arithmetic
2:00 Research for Picasso biography.  I gave Ruby a stack of books on Picasso and told her to take two pages of notes to get her started on her biography.
2:45 math homework

3:20 get ready for ballet
3:45 - 5:00 ballet.
Ruby will still have reading to do tonight, and more browsing through Picasso stuff for info and ideas for her report.  She has modern dance at 7:15 and about 30 minutes to wait for me afterward while I teach, so hopefully she can use that time to read so we can stay on schedule with all the great books we have waiting for us.

It's been a challenge to fit everything in.  The day goes by really quickly, and 3:45 rolls around too soon, with ballet on Tuesday and Thursday.  Mondays have to be even more compact, because we leave for guitar at 1:45, although the car is a good place to do some studying or discussing.  Fridays are hard because the kids get home at 1:30, so after that, it's hard to focus.  I just save practicing and reading for afternoon that day, since Ruby can do those in her room.
