    Since reading Tristan’s list earlier on the other thread, it has got me interested in 9-11 yr old’s daily schedule. Can you please post them? I really appreciate it! Sometimes I think we are doing a lot sometimes not enough!!

    Here is my DS 11 schedule for the new year. It changes based on completing a resource or if one needs changed, Friday’s are also different. We are always done before 12 each day. You really shouldn’t compare what anyone else is doing because we each plan our days based on our own life and our children’s abilities. However, it can be fun to see what others have chosen to use for their families. I’d enjoy seeing yours!

    As a family she joins in:

    History (geography is a part of this, she also gets writing assignments from this – notebooking/written narration)

    Scripture memory

    Scripture study

    Family Read Aloud

    Hymn study

    Individual she has:

    Scripture study

    Music/Piano lessons

    Science

    Analytical Grammar

    Literature of her own, she’s between books assigned by me, next one begins when she finishes up this science unit on genetics.

    Vocab comes from science/history/literature.

    Spelling comes from her written narrations when we see a consistent issue.

    Math

    We tend to do science/nature study in units with breaks between. Right now she is doing science and taking a ‘literature unit’ break. She still is reading about 4 books on her own outside of history, but not an official study of a title for literature. (For this year she is trying the Progeny Press Literature guides, which take 8-10 weeks each). She does handicrafts on her own or with her sister.

    I love hearing what others are doing for their ages!!! It is such an individual thing!

    Monday – Thursday

    We are doing AO year 2, with a few modifications

    Delta – age 9

    • Scripture Study  
    • Scripture Memory (with mom)
    • 5BX  (this is a 10-15 minute workout)
    • Copywork – (generally pull 3 strips from the copywork jar, then choose 1 to do.
    • AO Reading – he picks from the weekly list…  (mostly reading along with an audiobook – a few done with me)
    • Foreign Language – German 2 days, ASL 2 days
    • AO Reading – again pick from the list
    • Math – RS Level C (done with me and his sister)
    • Free Reading 

    There used to be violin practice (teacher wanted about 45min, and about another 10min music reading…..) – but we aren’t doing violin anymore….  plan to add keyboard (piano)  & or organ soon.

    We will soon be adding All About Spelling (when it arrives)

     

    Our time varies depending on how long his readings are.  About 2.5-3.5 hours generally…. (not including music practice…)

    Oh, I forgot – Friday we do stuff like Picture Study, Music Study, Drawing, Maps, Timeline Books, and (in theory) Nature Study

    In the morning, my ‘bigs’ join in:

    Family Bible Study

    Hymn Study

    Scripture Memory

    French Vocabulary

    Poetry (reading or Memory work)

    Then we split up for individual work, and the 9-11 year olds are doing:

    Spelling Wisdom 1 – Copywork & Dictation 1-2X per week

    All In One English Grammar

    Teaching Textbooks Math

    Math Facts Drill

    Writing Assignment – 2X per week

    Rosetta Stone French

    After lunch, we go back to Family work for:

    History Reading/ Book of Centuries

    Science Reading

    Literature (read aloud)

    Then littler kids lay down to rest and big kids read at least one chapter per day of their independent reading assignment (though usually much more).

    They also work on handicrafts in the afternoon (knitting for dd and carving for ds this term). At 2:00 or 3:00 we are done with all required work for the day – without fail. But we start pretty early, 8:00- 8:30.

    We are outside a lot, but need to be better about taking our notebooks out at least once a week – that’s one of our goals this year.

    Fridays are reserved for composer study, picture study, and an art lesson. I plan on doing Shakespeare this year, too.

    My older kids are also in a co-op science class, chess club, and piano lessons.

    I think that does it! It’s helpful to see what everyone else is doing, too!

    I, too, have moments when I wonder if we are doing enough and wondering if we are doing too much. It usually helps to talk to my husband at times like that, or my mother who, thankfully, is supportive and encouraging. And of course to jump on this website to get ideas! 🙂 Here is how we are currently doing things for my 10 yr old independant learner, though it is always changing:

    Family Work –

    A Child’s Geography 2x wk

    Art/Music Study 2x wk

    History 2x wk and/or independant reading from SCM guide

    Occassional Nature Study

    Spanish 2x wk plus vocab games

    Family Read Aloud – usually 2 books going

    Independant work:

    Journaling 2x wk 10 min

    Math 3x wk – Rightstart, plus lots of games

    Science – 2x wk Apologia Flying Creatures

    Written Narration 1x wk

    Spelling Wisdom 2x wk

    Cursive copywork 3x wk

    Primary Language Lessons 3x wk

    Map Drill 2x wk

    Typing 4x wk

    Logic workbook 2x wk

    Usually 1 or 2 literature books going

    Work on Cubscout Goals as needed

    He is drawing and building Legos in every minute of free time 🙂
