Homeschool Schedule Reworked

More of a General Guide than a real schedule.  I had a very crammed schedule written when Lil' Hoot first came home from public school.  It didn't work.  This schedule is closer to our natural pattern but it's so easy to slip off of it as "life happens."

until 9:00a - Breakfast, News, PBS, Chores, Get settled
[Potty Break]
9-9:30 - Calendar Time*
9:30-10 - Bible Time then Books (Grace reads one, Parent reads one)
10-11:30 - Literacy Activity, Math Activity, Skillful Play
[Potty Break around 11]
11:30-12 - Lunch
12-1 - Outside or Music time
[Potty Break]
1-2:30 - Movie/Quiet Time
2:30-3 - Something Active (Outside if possible)
3-3:30 - Snacks and Books
[Potty Break]
3:30-4:30 - iPad (Learning games first)
4:30-5 - Dinner Prep

*Calendar Time

1. Put up new date and weather cards.
2. Say the memory verse and the pledge of allegiance.
3. Sing a song or two. (ABCs, Months of the Year, Days of the Week)
4. Write name and phone number on the white board. (Say phone # together. Watch pencil grip.)

+ Park play or library once a week.
+ Field trip once a week.
