stm4him Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Ok, so Tuesday we have CC and then my daughter goes to tutoring from 1:30-3:00. We don't do any school on Sundays. We do one enrichment subject per day and Bible in the evenings. The enrichment schedule is for reading basic information about their memory work for us to discuss and then they notebook what they learned. That schedule will go like this: Science Lab or Project Science Topic History Topic Geography (map drawing) Fine Arts Topic They will do free reading on that topic for the day except they will do nature study reading on the science lab/project day and they will do grammar and math living books and current events on the geography day. So they will do reading about nature study once a week but I'd like them to have time to sketch or color a specimen using Fandex field guides or peterson coloring book field guides and write down some basic info below it. Currently my thought is that we'll just have to do it in the summer instead of geography drawing. I want to focus on one major topic per cycle in grades 1-6 and then two topics in 7th grade when they will do Apologia Zoo 1 and 2 and one topic per year in 8th and 9th grades. Here are the yearly topics: Cycle 1- Plants (trees and wildflowers) Cycle 2- Animals (mammals and reptiles/amphibians) Cycle 3- Insects (bugs and butterflies) 7th grade- Birds and Seashores/Shells 8th grade- Rocks/Minerals/Fossils (to go with General Science) 9th grade- Constellations (to go with Physical Science) I think these are age appropriate and for the most part go well with their curriculum in some way. Our mornings are for math, logic, and languages. Then we do memory work and enrichment (our CC stuff). Then our afternoons are completely language arts. Evenings we do Bible and read aloud. The only other time I can think of is on Tuesdays late afternoon or on Sundays. Or should we just make it a summer thing? What do you think?

2_girls_mommy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Once a week or once a month in place of one of the science enrichment days or art days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Since you are doing the book work during the school year I would do the field work and journaling during the summer. Or cut out one day a week of the science and do it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I did it during our regular science time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
