Fitting Things In
Okay, now I have a question for those of you using Enki.
If you are doing a 4 or 5 day week, how do you fit in all of the stories, recall, and drawing? For instance, we are doing a 5 day week this block, so we are recalling a story and drawing a picture everyday during main lesson time, plus hearing a new story. How do I also make time for a nature story/recall/drawing during the week? J-Baby gets fatigued after one drawing (probably because he puts so much into them).
Also, now that I have the crafts books I'd like to use some of the painting and handwork stories, but again I'm not sure how to fit them in.
I hope someone has some ideas. If not, I'll probably puzzle over it for a bit and then let you know what ends up working for us.

I just can't see how you could do that kind of week and add in a nature story or a painting story. So we're not going to.
Thanks for your insight. My boys have excellent memories, but the 6YO doesn't want to be "put on the spot" during recall time. My 7YO is far more into it, which is perfectly normal.
