Halcyon Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) I have been spending all morning trying to figure out our schedule and would appreciate insight. Doable? Or not? Re the times-on days that we don't have to be anywhere, I'm flexible about the times and switching up the order we complete things. I know there will be days that don't work out, but since I'm now throwing a 1st grader into the mix, I figured I need to plan a bit more. And by the way, I am in awe of those of you who do this with large families! I tried to attach it here but it's too big: Schedule Edited July 29, 2011 by Halcyon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think it would be doable. I don't know a whole lot about everything yet, having just started myself, but it doesn't look to be too much more involved than ours is, and we get by pretty well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Thanks. I think it's just that I'm going to be doing more with my 1st grader than I did last year, and one of those things will be MCT which I hear is mom-intensive, so I'm nervous...... TFL!

Beth in SW WA Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Looks intense -- but doable since you are organized and enthusiastic. My routine is similar. We are out-of-house for CC, piano, violin and Spanish (and after school tennis). We car-school often. I look forward to reading how you are progressing with this fun schedule. Your kids are blessed. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwg Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I like how you save history and science for Fridays. Have you always done that? We have co-op on Fridays so we already miss a whole day :glare: but that is nice. I have a 4th grader so I was being nosy :lol:. I am adding a pre-k this year but we are very relaxed with that......but from my unexperienced self it looks really good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're out of the house for piano, music theory, tennis, basketball, drama and HS fitness (whew!) so hopefully I will remain sane ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am adding a pre-k this year but we are very relaxed with that......but from my unexperienced self it looks really good :) Started doing that early last year when someone on WTM suggested it-it makes getting it done so much more doable since, besides Latin, that's all we do that day. I don't think we could fit in Coop! We thought of doing it this past year but it's 45 min away and I just couldn't see how to fit it in. Would love to see your 4th grader's schedule if you've posted it!! (I'm nosy too ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not adding MCT, but I will definitely be doing more with both girls this year... so I'm nervous too! Your schedule looks great. I'm not quite that organized. I just have a daily list.

Halcyon Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Your spreadsheet looks so nice! What did you use to make it?? I actually just used Word (well, the free Word, Open Office!) and made a table. I'm using HST+ this year, but I needed to see how both boys' schedules would "mesh" together, since they both require Mom time for different subjects. I wish I could do it in color but I have a b&w laser printer! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeetime Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I think it looks totally doable. You'll run across days where the little one's school won't get done, but that's ok. :) As long as you're fine with changing things up as needed you'll do great. FWIW, I am the same way-I have to schedule everything out in detail. I am also going to be using Friday's for History, Science and Art and Composer studies. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
