Those trying to combine a CM/Classical approach, I would love to see your schedules for 4th grade. Every time I think I have mine down, I realize it is still unrealistic- time wise. I'm using shorter lessons, but I think I am having trouble with the 4 day schedule I am trying to pull off. I would love to see how short or long others are spending on their subjects and how you are spreading all your subjects out for your 9/10 year olds.

My son is in 1st grade. Right now we are trying to do A LOT everyday. Our day is: Scripture study spelling phonics math writing (WWE) book report/story writing computers TTH memorization, grammar TTH history/science music- recorder practice We have a hard time fitting it all in, and we're often rushing through the fun stuff at the end of the day. I've been thinking of switching to a MWF/TTH schedule, something like math and LA on MWF and history, science, computers and art on TTH. BUT How can I get through a whole year's worth of math only doing three lessons a we -
I am tweaking my SL IG and would love to create my own weekly pages that look like SL or Winter Promise with the days on top and the subjects/books on the left. Would anyone know of an existing template I can download that would allow me to do this? TIA!! -
I need help and need to think out loud a bit here. We are moving into a different routine and rhythm here at our house, and I like it a lot. But I need to get on top of a system for planning out the days and the week better. I have two kids who are almost five years apart, so in most things, they are at different places. I want to be able to sit down at the beginning of the week and make a plan, but then also be able to alter or add to the plan as the week progresses. If we discover something we want to explore more for example, I want to make a note to remind myself. For example, go to

Hello all. This year my oldest is doing the Apologia Biology (2nd edition) anyways, I'm wondering what a good schedule , if anyone has one , would be to get this done in a timely manner. Its a HUGE book. :tongue_smilie: How did you schedule the modules? Trying to figure this out so she has a good experience with it. I wish they had a DVD like they do for their physics. Can't afford their online classes right now either. No coops in our area either.

We have yet to ever just have some kind of normal in our home. New jobs, moves, unexpected babies, military service, deployments, going back to college as adult students, special needs children, solo parenting, depression. This years whopper was my dh moving out of state. We have no plans about what comes next. I will keep homeschooling. But, yet again i failed at keeping a schedule of any sorts. No one finished their books. Our biggie for the year. My delayed 9yo has finally started reading and his speech is improving along with his reading skills!!!!! We have been on a -
I just posted on the K-8 board but then thought it might be useful to post here as well :) Just sharing the schedules that we've been using pretty successfully. I've posted the actual schedules of how the day goes for each of the kids, as well as how their weekly schoolwork schedule is put together.

OK here are the schedules for DD8 (grade 3): http://jellybeanclubhouse.blogspot.com/p/miss-muffetts-schedule.html and DS10 (grade 5): http://jellybeanclubhouse.blogspot.com/p/mr-rs-schedule.html If you are keen to try the same "system", PM me with your email address and I can send you the Word & Excel files that I have put together. (I'm having trouble posting them into my blog)

My biggest problem with homeschooling has been wanting to study everything; I know I'm not the only one out there who finds the freedom of being able to teach my children whatever I want to teach a bit overwhelming. I've been wrestling with this issue for a long time, and the biggest sticking point for me was languages: I come from something of an international family, I have siblings and cousins who speak German, Swedish, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Ukrainian, and Romanian, in addition to the Spanish, French, and Japanese I speak (all this comes from living overseas, not studying in school) -
Is this even possible to do, especially at the D & R levels? Can someone please shed some light on how they do it? Thanks!!!!

Would this fall under "advertising"? I just don't know, so I'll give it a shot. I've been getting a lot of hits on my blog recently, and all of them seem to be going to my schedules. (Which is fabulous given that is the whole reason I put them up there.) They are free and available for your use as you see fit. I do get a number of questions regarding them though, so I thought I would answer them here (most of my hits originate from this forum). They are formatted similar to SL's instructor guides. (No, I don't use SL, but I did try them once.) They are in MS Word format and eas

After going round and round about what to do when my third wheel (aka my wonderful son) rolls into our homeschool this fall, discovering that no packaged programs pleased me in their entirety or fit my budget, I am revisiting my original position, which was to follow The Well Trained Mind, but perhaps even more closely than we have been. I'll have a K'er, 2nd grader, 4th grader. I'm considering using all Peace Hill Press curriculum - SOTW 4, FLL 2 & 4, WWE 2 & 4, along with CLE Math and chem/physics curriculum TBA (we have to combine that year to stay on cycle). Maybe the new Oli -
Do you so the same subjects each day with your children or not? I am considering switching things up a bit as I try to move to a more CM-friendly plan for the girls. I found the schedules at SCM and also searched the archives here and found this thread but thought I'd poll y'all to see what you do. I like the idea of doing the exact same thing in the exact same order each day. DD#1 and I both have pretty severe attention issues (both diagnosed ADHD - I'm medicated, she's not :tongue_smilie:) I find that we are lucky to get the 3Rs in each day. I feel that that way we at least get in t

I've been thinking about this a lot this past year. I know we are not doing enough and I will have to change that. It is actually changing that is so hard sometimes. I read how many of you moms and dads accomplish so much with your children. A "rigorous" education for us will require a lot more hours and this is the part we need to improve. I think I struggle with this because I want the girls to have social times and dh likes school and social times to be done around dinner time so that we can eat as a family and practice piano, take baths, etc. and so that he can spend time with us. -
If you have not given Chorebuster a try, you must, you simply must. It is highly exalted in this house. You go to the site, enter the people in your family capable of helping and how difficult their jobs should be, how much of the load they should get. Enter the chores that need to be done, how often they should be done, who is NOT able to do each one, and how difficult they are considered to be. For a donation, you can enter other info, like whether you will pay a reward for the chore. The site generates a fair list of chores and emails it to you each week. You can print out the schedule

People have been asking about schedules, so I thought I'd post one of ours... hopefully it will work! Didn't work... -
I am looking for advice on how to organize my homsechool schedule. I have basically done it by hand, printing out calendars and filling them in. I see those of you who have your lovely spreadsheets, etc. I would like to be more organized and efficient. If anyone would like to add their suggestions, I think it could help others to be more organized with their schedules. So if you have a favorite way, a favorite program, a favorite book on organization, scheduling ,please let me know!
