2:7 How we work!!

Because I have limited time with Izumi I always plan what work I want to do with her the week before, then I prepare the activities that are not on her shelf and lay them out the days that I am home....This gives her freedom of choice to use the activities on her shelves on the new ones I have set up around the room, It gives me the chance to see where her interests lie and then helps my planning for the next week!!!
