My family has found ourselves in a tough situation. My husband has left his place of employement of 15 years to go back to school full time. Thus causing me to have to work outside of the home for the first time in 15 years. When I am at work he will be home and vice versa causing our older children to need to work more independently in all subjects. I want to stay with SCM but am not really sure how to flesh out the scheduling. Any suggestions/hints/helps would be appreciated! TIA – Nina
I would think the 15 year old and possibly the 12 and 11 could go through the SCM module guide together. They could open to each day, the 15 year old could read aloud the family portion and then the 3 olders could just do whatever is listed for them to do there under their grade suggestions. Someone could read aloud the 6 year olds suggested reading. The family piece could be done right after breakfast, then the SCM individual recommendations and then whatever else you have for them to do could be put in checklist form weekly for each child or you could preload the simply charlotte mason organizer and they could print it out each day. Just some thoughts.
I think Benita’s plan would work if your eldest wants to do that. If not, it would take a bit of work up front but I would either buy a guide for each kid and cross out all parts not applicable to them. Or use your guide and type out a simple daily reading schedule for each kid with a reminder to recall the previous lesson before starting and give an oral or written narration after each current lesson. Oral narrations could be spoken into a recorder. Just what I round consider doing:)
I agree – either the 15yo reading the family stuff to everyone, or everyone doing it on their own. I’d use something like the SCM Organizer, or SkedTracker to give them a to-do-list each day. Depending on your children, you may have a plan for consequences if things are not getting done.
Wow! I like the idea of speaking narrations into a recorder! Also, depending on your schedule you could have them narrate to you in the evenings. Instead of you reading them a bedtime story, they could narrate their days readings to you!
