Pro-Tip: You can do many of these things together - even science and history. Older children will retain more than younger children, but it is doable to combine ages and grades. Do the “together school” part just like it says – together. Do science and social studies together as well. For science for the rest of the week, we’re using some lessons (given for free) of a homeschool curriculum I’ve used and loved. There are lesson reviews at the end of each lesson. Have your child do the one that most meets their abilities.
