I have decided that a nice way to start our day is to first have Bible and prayer time, then go out into God's marvellous creation for some play and discovery. So this is what we aim to do before school.
This year I want to try to limit our school day to 2 hours, as last year we were doing 3 - 4 hours a day, which I have decided for my 8 year old is too much.
Something that I want to encourage is some family quality time as quite often this gets sacrificed for other things. I want this time to be just focused on enjoying each others company.
This year I have split the kids bedtimes, this way I am getting some quality time with each of them before bed.
Another thing that I want to be better at is keeping a good cleaning routine. This is something I struggle with, so I have decided to schedule it in, whilst the kids go off and play.

Jobs are scheduled in for all the children. I believe it is important to teach the kids to help keep the home as well as teaching them skills for when they are living in their own homes in the future. They each have laminated cards that make clear what I expect. Pink for Adele and blue for Damon. Avril doesn't have a card but she is scheduled to help me clean up dinner. Josef just helps tidy his toys.
Here is Adele's card:
