There are a couple odd days here and there because of holidays and such and we will cover a specific artist and their style on those days.  We are also breaking at all the school holidays except spring break since that is the week before Easter and that's when I wanted to cover Easter.  I have the themes coordinated to the seasons and holidays, so that we're talking about light and shadows on Groundhog's Day, for example.  We'll see how this goes!

I home preschooled my oldest two and loved it. I tried with my 3rd last year and it was a disaster. Fortunately she seems to be catching up fast this year. She's a stubborn little thing and we clashed everytime I tried to work with her. The jury's still out on whether she ruined it for her brother or not :)
