phathui5 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I had posted the schedule I was thinking of using in another thread and now I'm thinking it's not enough. Can you share your 4th grader's weekly assignment schedule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hobbes' curriculum is posted in my signature. I go through at roughly the right pace to get the main English and Maths books done in a year, which means a little over a chapter a month for English and around six exercises a week for maths. The supplementary materials are on top of that. The other subjects I play by ear. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
