homeschoolers: need advice... :)

[isaiah5213]

hey there, all homeschoolers... help me! give me a "structured day" and how do you do it? and what has worked, what has not worked?

give ideas, please....

 

[MyLittleWonders]

What age is/are your child(ren)? That might help as younger ones need far less structure than older ones. Also, what is his/her/their attention span like and when does he/she/they seem to work best (more of a morning person, or get's a second wind after lunch).
