We have 180 days of school to complete and we are starting tomorrow. Here is a sample of our starting schedule. (I do expect that this will change throughout the year)
Along with the Academics, I give 5 piano lessons a week (Not counting Noah's), Mom's group at church, Adventure Club/Church Mice, field trips, and Social activities. I also will continue to babysit Madie who needs to be picked up from pre-school Mondays and Tuesdays at 11:30.
I've also based my approach on Charlotte Mason's method of education, so we will have lots of subjects broken up into 10 to 15 minute sessions. (This way we should get everything done in the morning.) Oh, and lots of time outdoors in nature. I am not going to put specific times on subjects such as Bible from 8 - 8:15. The only things that will have time indications are the things that have specific times and dates.

Ok, there it is. We'll see how it goes!

Just be careful that your fifteen minute teaching/learning intervals don't reinforce a short attention span! Push him past his level of interest.
That's a good point Jme. The book I'm using does encourage working up to a little longer span depending on the age.
