We cover a lot of areas, but in short amounts of time. So we should be ok. It doesn't look like an overly long day. Longest it the lapbook projects, but it's fun stuff! We're making summer treats one week, and chocolate the next :lol:

 

Am I missing anything?

Looks wonderful! I hope your throat feels better by Monday. :001_smile:

Your schedule looks very complete and well planned.

A few things you might consider:

 

1) I found WWE 1 too difficult for my pre-reader. I really did not see a benefit to her copying words she couldn't come close to reading. Six months later it was a perfect fit. I assumed your dd is not reading independently b/c you are doing OPGTR, but if she's reading well, WWE should be fine.

 

2) Doing FLL every day will have you finished before the end of the year unless you are trying to do FLL 1 & 2 in one year. You can easily accomplish one grade in 3 days/week. You may want to finish early, but if you need more time on a certain day, then drop it without guilt.

 

3) AAS tends to take us longer than 10 minutes, sometimes as much as 20.

She is reading somewhat independently now, but we are continuing with OPGTR as it will give a strong foundation.

 

2) Doing FLL every day will have you finished before the end of the year unless you are trying to do FLL 1 & 2 in one year. You can easily accomplish one grade in 3 days/week. You may want to finish early, but if you need more time on a certain day, then drop it without guilt.

 

We do a 4 day week, and we don't necessarily have time to do everything every day, as we have outside lessons, art, swimming, rockclimbing. So it will average to 3 lessons a week.

 

3) AAS tends to take us longer than 10 minutes, sometimes as much as 20.

 

We did it last year 10 minutes a day, and finished all but 4 lessons in AAS 1 in 3 months. If it takes longer with AAS 2, then it will. That is a guesstimate at this point. Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't really considered it. I expect if we start AA3, it will be 20 minute sessions, but I'm keeping it light for the beginning, and slowly increase times as we go. She's had a carefree summer, I don't want to overload her.

 

 

Thanks!!
