Jean in Newcastle Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We are only on week 15 (and it is likely to overflow to next week because we aren't getting everything done this week). I'm pretty much resigned to homeschooling year-around this year. But I'm just wondering where everyone else is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeacademy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks for posting this. I just went and updated my homeschool tracker. we are well past the half-way mark for number of days needed for the year. As for what week we are actually on--I don't know because we switched paths mid-year and we are on track for being where I want to be in August so I am happy with that.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plaid Dad Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We're finishing up week 29. We start in July, and we've had some breaks for holidays and vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda...inOwasso Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 LOL, I probably shouldn't admit this, but I have no idea! My dd's were in private school last year until mid-May. I started homeschooling them the Monday after their school let out. The girls have done math & reading 5 x per week ever since (even during holiday weeks). We must be getting close to 40 weeks (or whatever the standard *school year* is) because we only have a couple of weeks worth of curriculum left before we'll need to start the next grade. Obviously, I'm not much of a planner! :) I always thought we would do some version of year round education (with a reduced schedule during vacations, busy times of the year, etc...) because I can't think of a reason not to.

8filltheheart Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We are only on week 15. Wow, Jean, you make me feel way ahead of schedule!!! We are on week 19. (we are supposed to be on week 24) I was relieved when I opened up our lesson planners again this week to find out that one of the weeks we missed was actually scheduled as a week off. So, we are really only 22 days behind schedule. In my mind I thought we were 30. (but I also hadn't planned on starting back until next week, so that shortened up some right there) It is really cute b/c the kids looked at me today and said they were really glad to be back to doing school! (The only time I usually here those words are during the first week of Aug when we start after summer vacation.) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy in ME Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Just finishing up week 22 here. We started Sept. 1 and took the entire month of Dec. off. We are planning to take April off and finish up the last week of June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cajun.classical Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We just completed Week 21 of 36 weeks. We took a month off for Christmas and we regularly take a week off every 6 weeks. This keeps me from burn-out. I need those mid-term breaks more than my dc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy B Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We are only on week 15 (and it is likely to overflow to next week because we aren't getting everything done this week). I'm pretty much resigned to homeschooling year-around this year. But I'm just wondering where everyone else is at. I think we have about 15 weeks to go . . . and even at that, I don't think that will mean we ended up with 36 weeks. But, in 15 weeks we will be done with our books. If we work hard. And don't get sick. And don't get a migraine. Oh, and if none of our appliances break down. You get the idea. :rolleyes: But I am really, really determined to finish the work for those weeks. Too many times we have given up short of the finish line, and I don't want to do that again. Plus, I *really* want the month of June off. Hang in there, you're not alone. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alana in Canada Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Well, Jean, if you hadn't started this by saying "15" weeks, I would have closed the thread--but, as it happens, I can make you feel good--we're officially in week 7 of a 42 week year. 1/6th of the way there!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elinor Everywhere Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm not sure how many weeks we did, but this week we just finished 4th & 3rd grade for my dd and ds respectively. We're taking March off, and then starting the new year in April. I'm already looking forward to it--I love new curriculum! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trivium Academy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We switched to TOG in January so that really extended our year but I think it'll be fine since we're doing a 9 week on/ 1 week off schedule with a few two week breaks in June and August.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Thanks so much for the input. I'm not trying to "catch up" to all of you - some of you are so far ahead of me I couldn't! But it helped to give me a sense of where we were in the year. I've decided that even if it means a little bit of work on the weekend (probably about an hour's worth only) - we will make the extra effort to get done with this week's work. We are starting to see some signs of spring and I know "spring fever" will only get worse the later in the year it gets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana in Canada Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'll keep you company in spirit Jean. Those warmer days are getting harder and harder to resist--and Spring isn't even really here yet. We've just had a warm spell with temps around 0C for the past few days. We actually opened a window today! Hooray. But already, I hate calling the kids back in from outside on their break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristiana Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Officially my calendar says this is week 22 out of how many, I don't really know. We should finish up our current curriculum about the 2nd week in June, but will do light work through the summer so I don't know that it really matters where we're at now.

DawnUK Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We are only on week 17! I aimed to start our school year on Sept. 1st, but the weather was so nice for four weeks in a row, that I kept pushing our start date back to the next week, and to the next week, etc! It gets so dark and loomy here in England in the winter, that I just couldn't bring myself to not take advantage of the beautiful weather. We also take four weeks off at Christmas. That's one of the beauties of homeschooling, though, you can be flexible. We'll probably school well into the summer, and we do double up sometimes, but I'm not worried. We'll finish. --Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie in AR Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 No idea. None. Same here. We just school until we get finished with what we want to do for a particular year (season). Sometimes we school in summer; sometimes we don't. We're not required to keep up with "days" or "weeks" so we don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCoppock Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We started different subjects at different times in the year so I don't really know where that leaves us. We are on our second Spelling and Math book and almost completed our English but are no where close to finishing our History or Science. I plan to school year round and take breaks throughout the year when they best fit our family. Summer is just too hot in South FL to really enjoy much of anything.

I'm pretty much resigned to homeschooling year-around this year. But I'm just wondering where everyone else is at. Ok I am going to have fun with this one: Tapestry of Grace year 3: Week 6 Right Start Math...well I am in 4 different places, starting a book with the oldest, 3/4 of the way through B with the 8yo, 1/3 of the way through B with 6yo and 1/4 of the way through A with ds 5. Science: Just finished one program yesterday, starting a new today. Bible: 10yo will be done by summer, 8yo will be done by fall, 6yo will start a new Bible before summer and 5yo will start a new one mid-summer. LA: 6yo will start a new program in a couple of months, 8yo is on about week 7, 9yo will start her new program in a couple of days. I hs year around, can you tell? :D Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelli in TN Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We are required to do 180 days of school per year. So, before Christmas I log onto my umbrella school's website and starting in August I record 90 days. If I am feeling particularly lazy, I may just click every day until I get to 90, even weekends! In June I do the same thing again. I am very loose with record keeping, since we homeschool year round I know we get enough days in. So, short answer, I haven't a clue.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanaTron Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Next week will be 17 for us. But I planned on going year-round, with 4 9-week terms (roughly two months on, one month off). After week 18, we'll take a month break, then begin again in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
