Please Note:

#1: When I say “week”- I mean any 5 consecutive school days.   This will not be Monday-Friday.  If we did school one week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and the next week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday then our “week” would be the first Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and then Monday, Tuesday.

#2: We’ll do the Bible readings first, followed my MOH (Mystery of History).  I will probably not be able to read all of the Bible readings, MOH chapters and supplemental books.  SO, I will skim through MOH, reading what we have the time and interest for.
