But here it is anyway, for the sake of giving you the complete picture of what our homeschool day
- Breakfast & Bible with Mom; Kitchen clean-up/Piano practice for
LittlesYoungers (an 8yo who can put a hot lunch on the table for her dad is not a Little; nor is a 10yo who just purchased his first power tools) - DVD: Bible Doctrines (Olders); Youngers can do personal devos and practice K4T memory verses-- or get started on Math (not a bad idea)
- Math (this will be interesting with six diff math classes ALL with CD or DVD instruction)
- Science
- English/Language
- Lunch; Kitchen clean-up
- Mom's read-aloud usually pertaining to history; Ancient World History/Government or Econ for DD#1 (this will also be interesting to see if Mom can make the switch back to reading at lunch time instead of breakfast :o I am pretty stodgy, ya know ~ the veritable old dog, Conny)
- DVD: Speech (M&W)/Orchestra (T&Th); Youngers have time to read, play outside, or do an art project?; Piano lessons &groceries on Friday?
- DVD: Spanish
- Piano practice for olders/Violin/Viola/Flute; Laundry, Supper prep, House tidy ~ ha ha, Homework, OUTside! for play and chores
- Supper
- Bible with Dad when he's available
- (more Homework) .... zzzzzzzzzzzzz
I understand the might part - the schedule is always changing here!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Amy
Aah - it always looks good on paper. You certainly seem to get a lot done in a morning!
ReplyDeleteI am trying (yet again!) to design a schedule for our days. I'm also trying a new 'style' to our homeschool. Wish me luck ;-)
Goodness you've been busy!
ReplyDeleteI'm just back from vacation and trying to get caught up with my bloggy friends :D
When will you be starting up with homeschool?
Julie
Wish I could say I'm listening to the voice of the Lord saying, This is the way; walk ye in it. The list/schedule looks really full, and to be honest, the Charlotte Mason style has a lot of appeal to me... espec the short lessons and lack of every subject daily. Don't you love (sarcasm) doubts before you've even begun a commitment?! ...Sorry ~ early morning (when I went to sleep) brain fog today...
ReplyDeleteSo Felicity, I'd love to hear more about your style changes ;-)
Amy, enjoy those Littles of yours and the greater ability to flex =)
Julie, some have begun new stuff; some are finishing old; some group subjects have to wait for Miss MB's return ~ so, um, we hope all will be up and running nicely before October 1! No one wants to HAVE to do school next June :-(
Oh, and I'm thinking the beloved bookshelf might have to wait until next summer for its paint job. (after Tim might have time to use a belt sander on the cabinet) I should get my boys to haul it into the house for me today ~ the 'schoolroom' is a crazy mess without enough shelves to park all these books!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love a complete update (brain dump, Julie) in the comment section?
=) Y'all have a great day/week too!
I don't quite see you as a stodgy old dog, Melanie!! LOL!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have all kinds of schedules & lists in my mind too (and on paper!) ... but it's good to stay flexible!! :) Happy new home school year!
