How many days of school will you have completed by xmas?

[FloridaLisa]

I don't usually count days. :001_smile:

 

But, this year my Ker places one popsicle stick in a jar for each school day. When we get to the 100th day, we will :party: . We will stop right at about day 70.

ETA: I should clarify that we won't stop schooling at Day 100; but my youngers will do lots of 100 day activities!

This poll made me feel better. I was starting to worry since we just took 3 weeks off while I recovered from surgery. We will be at about 85/180. Starting in July has really enabled us take lots of breaks!

We do 180 days in South Carolina ... as long as we are at least at the halfway point by Christmas, I feel a "sigh of relief"..... :laugh:

We do at least 180 days - sometimes it takes us a bit longer to finish what I have planned for the year. We started this year in August and we'll have finished 17 weeks by the time we take our Christmas break. A few days off here and there so we've done around 80-85 days.

We do 180 days per school year and my goal is to reach day 90 by Christmas. My youngest daughter will be right around there when we take our break but the other three will be around day 70-80. Three of my kids were very sick over October and November which took out a good couple of weeks of school. My plan is to have our last day Dec. 21 and start back up on Jan. 2. It's not a long break but at this point we need to keep our momentum going.

We will be exactly half way done. I planned for 30 weeks and we will have done 15. We started at the beginning of August and we'll finish at the beginning of May. We travel a lot.

[MiniBlondes]

We will have about 80 days completed by Christmas and we do 180 days a year.

We started over the summer for a couple of weeks in July, then a break, then straight through beginning in August. The plan is to be done by May 3rd which would put us at 183 scheduled school days for the year. We are right on schedule with 97 done by Christmas break.

I voted "81-90," but I actually think it's closer to 100; I haven't counted in a while. I do count days that aren't traditional bookwork days, such as swimming/outside activities in the summer for PE or history/science field trips. I think I voted for "201-210" days for the year, but it might be more. I'm required to do 180, and at last count, I think I figured out that we should hit that around April-ish, but we'll continue doing schoolwork until we finish the bookwork I want us to finish (which last year was sometime in May, so we had five or six weeks off before starting again, which was perfect).

[daffodil]

We will have completed between 90 and 95 days before Christmas, depending on when I decide to start our break. We school year round, and I honestly have no idea how many days we do in a year.

[happywthree]

96 for us!

We should have exactly 75 done. We will most likely take the whole week of Christmas off, but may do a day or two after Christmas since we probably will be off on New Years Day. We just took a full 2 weeks off for Thanksgiving and a Disneyworld vacation, so we wont take too much time off for Christmas. My daughter didn't come back from this long break too well.

 

I don't know how many total days we will do since this is our first year, but it has to be at least 185.

I answered the questions and then read your post.... I don't actually count days. But I have my schedule made out for the year and we'll finish Week 17 before Christmas so I counted it that way. We also have 180 day years (36 weeks).

We also don't take off much for Christmas. Maybe 2-3 days. I just don't see the point in any more than that. We've just been off for a week+ for our musical, so my priorities are just different - I want breaks when I know we'll be busy, not in the least planned out part of our year. :) We don't travel for Christmas, we stay home, my DH is working half a day, and then we're driving 10 minutes to my ILs house. :)

Sorry if I skewed the poll!

[NicoleMarie]

We do a total of 40 weeks a year and just finished week 20 yesterday. DD11 will take her last test for the semester on Sunday. She likes to test on Sunday so that will do it for us until 2013

[CatholicMom]

85 days done. 95 to go.

 

We started August 7 I believe and we will be done around June 13-15. We take off about 6 weeks: roughly the last week of June, the whole month of July, and possibly one week in August.

[MiniBlondes]

The official end count was 82. Only 98 more to go!

We do not aim for a particular number of days, but I do count days. We begin in January and end in December. By mid-December, we schooled over 300 days, and then I quit for the year.
