SnMomof7 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We are only really doing 'school' with our oldest. But we are consistently getting done: She reads aloud her NiRV Bible to me every day Phonics and practice in her readers Math - either flashcards, game - like addition war, Math Mammoth sheets, or our MUS Alpha - slowly but surely working on nailing addition facts - sometimes a combo of things Copywork Learning cursive Narration Rod and Staff English 2 Apologia Astronomy with some supplemental reading Sonlight Core K She reads independently during the day as well We also do story Bibles as a family every day Yay! So, pat yourself on the back, come on in and tell us what you ARE getting done! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Math and the three Rs. Everything else goes in fits and spurts, like all day art, or Science Sundays. But math every single day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I hear you on chunk scheduling. We double up - 2-3 days of SL on one day, 2 days Apologia the next day and so on. My brain can't do two different content subjects on the same day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We are consisent about Bible, math, science, read aloud time (me and dd), and history. Pretty much everything in my signature except BJU Spelling is at dd's leisure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 We've been solid on grammar, writing, spelling, vocab, Latin, logic, math, and history this school year. In spite of that a couple/few subjects were lagging somewhat behind and wouldn't reach our mid-year goals. Last month my kids and I reevaluated those goals, compared lesson amounts to weeks left, and wrote down how we'd keep those goals on track. With just a few loose ends to tie up next week, we've accomplished those goals, and then some. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy in TN Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Math, math, and more math Language Arts Memory Work History Science Art- because it is outsourced Drama- because it is outsourced Next year the little man will be in 3rd grade. I know that if I want foreign language (Latin or Spanish) to be done consistently it will need to be outsourced. Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Math, grammar, phonics, DD reading aloud, and geography have all been getting done regularly. Handwriting has been spotty since I'm off work and it's usually part of DD's homework routine when I work mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ereks mom Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) I also make a yearly plan (in chart form) of which chapters/pages I want to get done during which weeks. That helps me see the big picture, and I use the yearly plan to create the weekly assignment sheets. This help us stay on track and get it all done. If we fall behind one week, we catch up the next. It helps that we school 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday), using Fridays as a catch-up day or project day. ETA: PM me with your e-mail address if you'd like to see some samples: I can send you a copy of my yearly plan for my 6th grader or my 10th grader, and/or one of their weekly assignment sheets.

Crimson Wife Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 For my oldest: math, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, writing, history, science, religion For my DS: math, grammar, spelling, phonics, penmanship, history, nature exploration class, religion Art is consistent when it's outsourced but we didn't do this particular session because it wasn't in the budget. We'll start up again at the end of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWOB Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I make it a point to do Latin, math, writing, and logic every day. They read to themselves every day. We just added in extra spelling practice as a must-do daily assignment.History (my favorite subject) gets done when it gets done. Science is a bit more consistent, but not every day.

Dmmetler Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Math, reading, Grammar, history, Latin, Greek, PE. Spanish,but it's changed from the video-based class to a reading based one. Science, dance and music, if you count outsourced classes that I don't actually teach, but we've gotten better at science and music at home since Jan.

Hunter Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 listening to dramatized KJV GoBible app and reading along Bedell Hebrew Made Easy piano practice handwriting practice holiday and calendar activities And the past two weeks I've been very committed to completing CLE 706 Bible on the Psalms. I've been playing Psalm 100 from the Scottish Psalter on the keyboard and using the tyrics for handwriting practice. I've been studying The Organized Home Schooler and cleaning up my home and schedule. I was all set to start back with SOW on Monday, but some resources I ordered for the next lesson have not come in :-( I bought and downloaded a grade one Waldorf curriculum. I guess I'll read Grimm's Fairy Tales and do some form drawing and painting this week while I wait :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurelia Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Math, phonics, science and history. We finished The House Above the Trees the other day and The Wizard of Oz tonight. (I've been doing read-alouds AO style, several books at a time, reading a chapter or two a week from each. Ariel seems to like it this way and doesn't want the books to end.)

jsleepymom Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I like this thread! We are getting through Bible time (reading, hymns, prayer,...), Reading for both boys (one with OPGTR and the other has completed OPGTR so we practice reading with expression), read alouds, piano, and math on a daily basis. Marginally consistently completing AAS and Copywork (basically handwriting for now!) :D. I am choosing to be okay with not hitting History and Science, art study, and whatever else we are skipping out on since I feel like we get plenty of elementary exposure to all of it just by living life and through reading good books... this was decided after trying to cram it all in for a while and falling flat on my face :tongue_smilie:!

1GirlTwinBoys Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Math gets done everyday no matter what. We had a few warm pretty days here, so we took a little break from other subjects. We should be done with our school year by the first of May.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma H Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We are in our groove! We get most everything in my siggie done every day. MFW is pretty easy to keep up on. The material is getting more challenging so we can't double up on days like earlier. (to catch up) so I have to be more diligent. Writing is the only thing that is not really rockin..........sigh.............writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
