Silly question: The recitation is cumulative, yes? So on week 2, you do week 1-2 and so forth?
I know in the classroom the recitation is tied more intimately with each subject but how do other homeschoolers do this, particularly if you have several sets of recitations to hear? After a lot of putting it off and forgetting it last year, this year we're using a tip from Cindy Rollins and incorporating it into our new "Morning Time" which is working well so far.

We're doing 4th, 2nd and some Jr. K, so that's three sets to hear. So far, morning time consists of a prayer, scripture, 4th/2nd/Jr. K read-alouds, 2nd art/music and Jr. K poetry. For recitation, I hear the fourth grader on Mon/Tues/Thurs and the second grader Mon/Wed/Friday (her Tues is Art/Music and Thurs is poetry). It is working well so far and brings some order to our mornings which was lacking last year. However, I can see that recitations are going to get looooooong after a while. I do love that the kids hear each other though. It's so much good information!
