I add morning basket to WTM. I'm currently revamping her day because I just had a baby but a lot of it is independent. She has a checklist that I modeled after Mystie's.

 

Oh and she is doing Apologia general science instead of wtm science because I want to do Apologia in high school and figured that it was best to start from the beginning.

 

I will probably glean some ideas from this thread.

Are you exclusively WTM? What does your 6th/7th grader/logic student's day look like?

 

What do you mean by 'exclusively WTM"? People use it in different ways. Do you mean only using the materials suggested in TWTM? Or do you mean the methods? Or both?

 

I think I come pretty close, both in materials and method, but I don't want to give you a lot of information if it isn't what you are looking for. :001_smile:

I'm moving more and more towards strictly TWTM methods and materials, but every single day looks different in my house. 

 

I usually give my kids a list of what needs to be done and then they take it from there.  We also have co-op for social activities and field trips, so our days are never the same. 

 

I'm interested to hear how others arrange their time.  For me, science is the "least" WTM thing I have and I don't know how well the logic stage recommendations will work here.  I can't tell my kid to do experiments for an hour with a kit...he needs more direction than that.  Also, the follow up research will need more direction, so I feel more comfortable with specific materials...does that make sense?
