Someone asked me how long I spend on school each day. It's usually about 4 hours, but we end with the projects, so I let the boys do the projects as long as they want. We have scriptures, math, spelling, writing and grammar (though writing and grammar aren't strictly every day); then we have lunch, and then after lunch we have the fun projects: on Mon. and Wed. we do art and science and Tues. and Thurs. we do music and history. I'm starting to add Spanish (Rosetta Stone) and piano. My plan is to have one doing Spanish on the computer while I give the other one a piano lesson. On Fridays we go with the homeschool group to Park Day or field trips or Friday Fun Classes (the moms take turn teaching) and doing PE at the public school. We do the reading aloud and the boys reading to me at night, so it doesn't make "school" too long, and they want to read at night anyway. Alex reads for 30 min. and Nathan 15-30 min.
P.S. I use Susan Wise Bauer's Grammar book and each lesson takes 60 seconds or less-- it's great.

I think I need to add a few things to our day - but my kids need to build their endurance to do more! By the way, I am LOVING the literature and history pockets! I can't wait to use them all. :)
ReplyDeleteI love to look at other's schedules. I'm a schedule person and I always wonder how others sm\pend their day. Thanks. Maybe I'll post mine sometime - I get asked about it often - especially from my friends who don't homeschool.

I am so amazed at how you do this and stay organized. I want so badly to do this for Mick but I am scared.
