Weekly assignment sheet

Ok, so I had plans to write this really great blog today. But, since I did not get that done, I will share with you what I did get done.  In an effort to help my children that can't remember their weekly assignments even when I have them write them down, I put together a sheet for the next school week for them.  I thought I would share it here.  People ask me about our day, and our school studies, and it is hard to explain.  So, this may help a little.  This brief outline does not included a lot of the little kids activities, but it gives a list of the focus points for the week.  Please feel free to post questions and share it with others.  I will try and post a follow up, after the week is over of how it went with this little asignment sheet.
