Mommy22alyns Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I think about 40. We'll finish the last week in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimtaxi234 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Our state doesn't require a 180-day school year, but since we are military living in our 5th state since we starting homeschooling, my goal is to keep us on a 180-day school year. I break every subject into a 36 week schedule, but let our children work ahead if they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea_lpz Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 We have 43 days left out of the 166 in our mfw k curriculum, 7 6-day units plus 1 day left over from our last unit. We school 4 days a week and will take a week off this upcoming week as our Spring Break. I have to do 170 total, but we usually do a field trip every other week so it is not much of a problem. I anticipate being done by June 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 56 if I do the whole 180 I'd planned. 48 if I only count the 172 required. I can subtract 10 from that if I count our vacation to Rome in June as school. Older dd finishes classes May 17, but then has to study for and take oral exams. Younger dd will continue math and reading through the summer so I don't know that days really count for anything except that I will quit counting when I get to 172 or 180.

Cafdog Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 We've got about 5-6 weeks left (depending on the subject) of our 36 week year. We have spring break in April, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoshannon Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 25 days unless I decide to take dd's birthday off on Friday, then it will be 24. We do school year round so it will just be a 3 week break though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinivanMom Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 35 days plus however many it takes to do our required standardized testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABE Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 51 more days of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriwether Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Many, many days. Less than two weeks of Saxon, though. We will still do math, but it will be 1/2 an hour or so instead of 1-2 hours. Hopefully, we can snowball some of our other subjects so that we can finish most things by the end of June. We will be doing Latin, history, geography and grammar all summer - by choice, not necessity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 We'll be done May 24. We are taking Thu(ds's b-day) through April 7 off for break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 The boys have forty-four days of school left for the year. UK schools have more days in the year than the US average - more like 39 weeks. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofkhm Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I haven't counted days. But I think it's 6 or 7 weeks. I forget cause there is a week where there is no school but they go to TeenPact. It's counted as school days but no curriculum work gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Technically we have our required 146 days (Iowa). However I require my children to finish all books on their reading list I give them, as well as finish their math and science curriculum. DD wants to finish her art curriculum but that is pretty much on her own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 We follow older dd's high school schedule. She has 30 school days remaining until finals week :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 We school officially for 200 days, but really, we end up only taking 6-8 weeks off for summer. We have 45 days left of the 200. We will do Latin and Math over the summer break. ETA: Florida only requires 180, so in terms of state requirements, we have only 25 days left.

Saddlemomma Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Maine only requires 175 days of school, but I automatically build in 180 days. As of the beginning of this week, we only have 6 weeks left. We will be doing reading, math and hunter/survival safety training lightly through the summer.

Kari C in SC Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I don't count days. We just finish when the work is finished. Right now we have about 4 weeks, but I think I convinced them to work double time to get it done in 3. We leave for a cruise 4 weeks from today!

beckster Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nine weeks left here! We haven't taken spring break yet, though. Our last day will be May 31st. I am so ready to move on to next year - having fun curriculum planning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightly Salted Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 40 to get to our required 180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahamamama Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Year round and I don't count days. So thankful that I homeschooled in California and didn't have to count days! Oh, good, I'm glad to see these posts! I was beginning to wonder, LOL. We don't have to keep track of "days," so we never have. I know exactly where we are in our plan, and exactly what we have to do to accomplish our goals, but number of days? We are completely done with a few things for this year, near to wrapping up some more, and will be working over the summer on other things. But that was the plan, anyway. ;) I'd like to keep about 30-40 math lessons to work on over the summer. I'd like to keep a good amount of history and literature to read on the super hot days. I can't imagine my children not reading to me. I think they might explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirium Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Year round here as well. So, 4500 ish days till graduation...minus 1250ish for weekends, minus another 500ish for vacation days. 2750..not as bad I was I expecting! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD wants to finish her art curriculum but that is pretty much on her own. 146 days only? I think in CA 170 is technically the minimum but most school districts do 180 and my charter has 175. Just curious, why so short? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
