    Each day will include reading, math, and copywork starting with 10 mins working towards 15-20 mins as ability indicates.  And a literature read-aloud.

    Day 1

    scripture memory, bible, pic study, spanish, history

    Day 2

    scripture memory, bible, music study, character dev., history

    Day 3

    scripture memory, bible, geography, poetry, art

    Day 4

    scripture memory, bible, science, spanish, history

    Day 5

    scripture memory, bible, hymn study, character dev., nature study

    We’ll do more science in the winter months.  They are also part of a nature club that meets 1x week each season.  Okay, give it to me straight…but be gentle! Smile Thanks for helping.

    I will have a 6 and 9 year old this year. This looks very close to what we are doing. I’m assuming the reading part will include reading instruction for the 6 year old. I will be introducing narration to my six year old by having him narrate a fable each day. Looks good to me!

    One thing I might consider changing is Spanish, I would do it as close to every day as possible. Smaller amounts done consistently is better than only a couple of times a week. Other than that, looks great!

    Looks good to me!  Similar to what my 6YO will be doing next year.

    Thanks.

    Robin, I thought I saw someone post that recently about daily foreign language but I wasn’t sure. Thanks for the reminder.

    Reading is instruction for both of them. My 8yo has special needs so she’s just starting to read (praise The Lord!).

    My kids have been asking to do school while on break this month!

    mrsmccardell, I just copied down your schedule, as I am starting planning for next fall tomorrow for my 6 and 8 year olds. Do you mind if I use it as a framework? I have a bad tendency to overplan in crazy ways. 🙂
