Tentative Schedule
I have a lot of children with different ages and needs. I find doing Co-Ops are great for accomplishing everyone's different level, as well as giving me a mom or two to bounce ideas off of. I pay for the PE class, karate & music lessons (and occasionally a math tutor). Horseback riding lessons, Lego Robotics, and maybe even a Shakespeare Play Group is on my wish list. These last three I see as being extra, and will be used as a reward for good effort in school work.

Every year I make the plan... and usually a couple months into it, it has changed. But here's a go at it. I hope it will help you in your own plans.
