2014 Two Week Homeschool Schedule
Before the start of 2014, this is what I thought was going to work. It is very similar to what was working at the end of our 2013 Academic Year. I think I will need to make some minor changes, though. Move lunch earlier – noon instead – make the afternoon session go to 2:30 (I hate to give up half an hour of Quiet Time, though). We just can’t quite get through 3 of everything in the time I’ve allotted here. Maybe. It was the first day which is notoriously hard. I’ll probably give this two weeks – our full routine – and re-evaluate then.
We’re working on a two-week, nine-day rotation. Week A is 5 days of school. We have History Lessons and Assigned Science Reading. (Assigned Reading is new, before it was self-selected). We have our Art With Friends Group. Week B is a 4 day week with Thursday off (except a trip to the library). Friday is a bit different, pulling in some poetry study and Primary Challenge Math for fun. We have Science Lessons and Assigned History Reading.
I did post my new tab for the 2014 Academic Year if you’re interested in more of the specifics of what curricula we use. Later this week (tomorrow?) I hope to share my assignment sheets and how we use them.
Seems like the start of a new year always requires tweaking! I did some from last week & it went smoothly yesterday! Yahoo! You'll find you're groove!
And, yes, first days back are always tough. So our Mondays. They can be down right evil!
