Halfway thru and we LOVE our school schedule!!! :)


Recommended Posts

This has worked so wonderfully for us...I just had to share. :) 

 

Monday thru Thursday:

Bible, Math, Language (English, reading, writing, etc.), Science/Health, and Spanish (also I do Preschool with the toddler)

Friday:

Bible, History, Art, Music

 

 

Monday-Thursday:

Bible (approx 20-30 min)

Math (30 min)

Language (30 min)

Science/Health (30 min)

Spanish (15-20 min)

Preschool (20 min)

 

Friday:

Bible (20-30 min) 

History (60 min)

Art (60+ min)

Music (15-20 min)

 

I read to the kids before their naps - and sometimes in the evenings, too...so we're getting lots of good literature in... And the older two are always reading something, so as long as I keep the book basket stocked...

 

I LOVE the variety in the week. Four days of Math & Language allows us enough continuity to get the flow of the lessons...by Friday we're ready for a break. Then we do an entire chapter from SOTW on Friday - including maps, notebooks, coloring pages, etc. I get library books for supplemental reading - and toss those in the book basket...

 

The kids end up "playing" the history lesson during the entire next week, so retention has been excellent. I recently caught dd4 playing "Hatshepsut" in bed when she was supposed to be sleeping. :)

 

We all look forward to Fridays as a break from the routine...and by Monday, everyone is ready to do Math & Science again! 

 

Anyone else have a fantastic schedule idea to share?

I don't have our weekly rhythm tweaked to perfection as yet, but that's wonderful how well your schedule is working out  :hurray:

 

The only thing that is working super well for us right now is that we are studying math every day. Yep, every day, even Christmas day. After just a few weeks of every day being a math day, it's gotten to be like eating or brushing teeth: the kids don't bother to resist because they know it's happening no matter what. (I'm not a totally mean mother, though. When I feel they need a break, I read them a math related story and call that math for the day ;) )
