Jean in Newcastle Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Oh and this lady wanted my "schedule for homeschooling a 1st grader". Even packrat me did not keep my schedule from when my kids were in first grade. I seem to remember alternating seatwork with hands on work. Does anyone have a handy dandy schedule for homeschooling a first grader? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also a "mental" perfectionist who never accomplishes it in my physical surroundings. I remember something about that, but not the details. What went wrong? They had the free donut thing on their Facebook page as a regular yearly event and then never notified people when they weren't doing it. A lot of people came looking for free donuts who didn't have money to buy them and took home very broken hearted kids. 22 minutes ago, Jean in Newcastle said: Oh and this lady wanted my "schedule for homeschooling a 1st grader".

Does anyone have a handy dandy schedule for homeschooling a first grader? I also have a list of chores for them to do after morning time. Brushing our teeth is on the chore list because if you don't leave the house you don't brush your teeth. So morning time, then chores, then seatwork. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're much bigger on biographies, nature walks and conversation than we are on workbooks. Because of this I have very little to show for our efforts which I think could be very stressful to some. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a handy dandy schedule for homeschooling a first grader? When people are up and moving: Breakfast/brush/clothes/morning chores/etc. 9ish AM: Work in whatever order is hardest to easiest for your DC if s/he gets tired easily, or easiest to hardest if s/he is slow to get started: Seat work together: math (we did the front and back of a Miquon page), phonics/spelling/handwriting/copywork, thinking practice like Lollipop Logic or puzzles if interested 10ish AM: **Morning Snack** Couch work together: memory work, religious education if applicable, history (I read SOTW aloud and we stuck timeline cards up), child reads aloud (I used Pathway Readers). Consider alternating more and less demanding items. 11 or 11:30ish AM: **Break for lunch when needed, or preferably just before needed** One or more days a week after lunch, or even before lunch for speedy workers: Author of the Week (Gather and read library books from favorite children's authors like Mo Willems, Jan Brett, Arnold Lobel.) science or nature activities art gentle intro to foreign language if desired life skills/chores PE/health education field trip Quiet time, 1 to 2 hours of child(ren) reading or playing without requiring supervision. Work up to it. Play with friends have or free time or screen time, or do errands. 6 PM: Dinner. 7:30 PM: Parent reads aloud from a chapter book at bedtime.

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Met with the lady and her delightful little 6 year old who has been punished every day in 1st grade for being a perfectly normal little boy and stuck in the "calm down" corner. Showed her stuff including TWTM. Told her about this board and local resources. Showed her curricula from my 1st grade shelf. Her husband isn't really on board but she's working on him. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 We had a wonderful time at the library. Riders in the Sky puts an an amazingly fun family friendly show. It was 90 degrees, but I was in at least some shade for 3/4ths of it. I didn't get fwetty, but, like a proper lady, glistened like the light of a thousand suns. We had story time and banished the goat and now I have a few minutes to get my brain in order before the kids' orchestra. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is on the calendar. It’s Tuesday... no music lessons. I did meet with our teacher from our charter school. I have two kids we are going to do IEPs for. We got the results of the STAR tests.????? I know testing isn’t the end all-be all, but I think it gave a pretty accurate indication of where my kids are at. Oh.... well... there you have it.

Since I make it in my IP, first I IP the hash browns and broth on (manual) high for 15 minutes, then I stick everything else in on the slow cooker setting for the rest of the day. I also add diced ham and mixed veggies. 1 hour ago, Another Lynn said: Sorry, I don't actually have any. Here's my favorite recipe - it's worth the work and then you hide it in the fridge behind a bunch of old condiments. Chocolate sauce Ingredients * 1 1/2 cups sugar * 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder * 1 cup heavy cream or half and half * 1/2 cup butter * 2 teaspoons vanilla extract * 1/4 teaspoon salt 1. In a 2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa and cream, stirring with a whisk until completely combined and smooth. 2. Turn heat on stove to medium and stirring occasionally, bring to a boil. 3. Stir in butter and continue to boil until sauce barely thickens, about 5 minutes. 4. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving over ice cream. Store in container in the refrigerator. To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warm.
