Schedule for Homeschool

A couple of people have asked me what our homeschool schedule looks like. I am happy to add it to the conversation with the note that nothing is the "right" thing to do.

• Get a quick breakfast and go outside for at least 45 minutes of exercise.

• Work on structured academic work at the table until a short 10 a.m. snack break.

• Pick up the less structured or messier subjects until lunch (like science or art projects)

• Eat. Read a chapter to them on the couch and then take a break from each other for an hourish in different rooms.

• Do errands, check on people, chores, free time, some screen time or personal projects. This is when I get my work done and the floor swept, etc...

• Dessert is at 3. Always. Even in the pandemic.

• Keep working on whatever you were doing before 3 until a half-hour before supper.

• Straighten up messes and eat

• Do dishes. Family time until 8.

• Family devotions, get ready for bed, and read until lights out.
