Our 2015-2016 Homeschool Schedule

 

I’ll probably read aloud from the chapter books over snack or lunch.

 Afternoons will be where we vary.

Mondays will be life skills, as well as grocery shopping and appointments.  Like this coming Monday, when the three biggest kids have their first dentist appointment.  Sometimes this might happen in the morning, because it’s easier to juggle grocery shopping in the AM, so those days we’ll shift the rest to the afternoon.

Tuesday/Thursday will be Story of the World.  Right now I’m feeling ambitious, and I have projects noted with each chapter that I think would be fun.  Time will tell if they actually happen.

Wednesday/Friday will be Elemental Science.  A lot of the weeks have at least one, if not two nature walks, which the kids are really looking forward to.  Each one focuses on something different, so that will be cool for them, as opposed to their current nature walks, which just involve picking up random stuff.

The reason I chose to schedule it this way is because my kids do better with focusing in the morning.  The afternoon stuff is a little more hands on, and will involve doing projects and activities, which it’s easier to get them to do when they’re not as focused.  Trying to work with our strengths here.
