Ambleside Curriculum Year One so far

We started this very slowly over the summer. I was in the later stages of pregnancy (Dear Daughter 3 was born mid-November) and wanted to get into our stride, and at least have some semblance of a routine going before baby-madness took over. This is what developed, and seemed to work for us for that time.



Over breakfast: Bible and Poem.
Table time: Memory work (daily) and Artist Study (weekly). Also some habit training.
While I tidied up after breakfast and did some laundry: DS did Copywork and Phonics (Reading Eggs) pretty much independently.
At times grabbed throughout the day: children played quietly while I read from the Ambleside Literature selection. DS would then either narrate or draw a timeline picture.

That's basically it. I will write in a bit more detail about what worked well, which unfortunately won't include Composer Study, Nature Study or Hymns/Folksongs, which we got to only very infrequently. Must try harder!
