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.
Tips:
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.
