How do I come up with a schedule? There is no right or wrong way to home school. Many families have strict schedules they attend to. Others have no defined schedule at all. Most families lie somewhere in between. You must try out different ways to discover which is best for you. Here’s How: 1. Set a beginning and ending time. 2. Schedule a lunch time and any other desired breaks. 3. Plan the most demanding one-on-one time when younger siblings nap or are occupied. 4. Coordinate individualized teaching with one child while the other children are working independently or reading. 5. Schedule the 3 R’s when the students are freshest. 6. Schedule hands-on, more time-consuming projects in the afternoon. 7. You can allot time for each individual subject or just generalize time slots; for example, academics in morning, projects after lunch. 8. Be flexible.
1. Be flexible, don’t let the schedule control you. It is just a guideline to help you accomplish the daily tasks. 2. You might have to try many different schedules to find the one that works best. |
