The Schedule

This is what I plan to do when we start our school. I hope it'll work just fine for us. I know I may have to be flexible and try not to keep a tight schedule. I don't want to rush the children if they weren't ready for the next reading. The most important thing is their comprehension, not how many books they have read.
