TeaCookiesBears Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I am wonder if I am over doing it or not doing enough as I having a hard time trying to schedule my dd12 subject but have run into a brick wall:banghead: because somewhere along the line I feel something is not right. Here is the schedule uploaded because it explains better than i can tell. Aio - Rod/Staff Writing- Cqla, Ingniting your writing or Wordsmith Grammar-Winston Grammar Mechanics- Evan-Moor Daily Para Edit. Copywork/Handwriting Spelling Literature/Poetry- Because of this schedule I am having a hard time trying to schedule in these areas of study without being to rigorous but then again maybe I am not being rigorous enough. I do not mind once again making a new schedule but this will be my forth because either they did not work or dd12 resisted. :confused::glare:. Suggestions are appreciated.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Too many electives!!! And math, science, language arts, and social studies should be every day. Maybe pick 2-3 electives for this year to go with those and save the rest for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Math - 5x week Language Arts - 5x week Science - 2x week or 3x week History - 2x week or 3x week Bible - daily Flute - daily Software program - daily How about doing a loop schedule for the remaining subjects? Or focusing on 1 elective subject per month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCookiesBears Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Ok I will do that I was trying to schedule in according to state curricula I thinks I can drop a few. I did not realize I had to many electives. Thanks I know dd12 would not mind dropping music and technology. And maybe I can give credit for typing when typing her papers.

Focusing on 1 elective a month is not something I thought about I will keep that in mind as I see there is no way around redoing the schedule again:glare:.

regentrude Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Math, language arts, science and history daily, I agree. PLUS foreign language daily, especially if the student is still a beginner! Technology and software - can you incorporate that into a content subject? As in, learn Powerpoint when making a history presentation, learn Excel when doing a science lab?

TeaCookiesBears Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 OK, Here is what I came up with so far after reading everyone's postings 4 Main subjects during the week Art ( 2-3x weekly) health (2-3x weekly) Rosetta stone ( ???) Tech/software (2-3x weekly)(which includes using MS office or tutorial,typing etc when doing assignments) Does this sound a little better so far or still to much?

For technology, why not integrate it into your other subjects? For example, if a paragraph is due for language arts, have her type it. If a presentation is needed for science or history, have her use PowerPoint. If you have math involving graphs, have her make the graphs in Excel.

obsidian Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Also, Rosetta Stone should probably be done at least 3x week. Languages need constant practice.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaCookiesBears Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 @STEM Both those ideas sound good. In the now old schedules Rosetta stone was done 3x wk but I was considering 4-5x week to make sure it sticks but the jury is still out on that one. Software/Technology can be integrated with other subjects to simplify everything as much as possible which sounds good to me:D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
