Question for Year Round Schoolers

I finally purchased Planning Your CM Education and I am happily working through it. I feel a little stuck, though, on the part where I plan what days/weeks we school in a year. I’d LOVE some advice. My sons are 7yo, heading for ‘2nd grade’. We were very ‘child-led’ in the schooling up until five months ago, when we started having a few subjects (reading, math and we’ve dabbled in a few others but nothing with regularity). Since they just started learning how to read in the spring, and that is when we started math, I wasn’t going to stop for the summer. I guess we have a light schedule bc when something else comes up, as it seems to do several days a week, we don’t get to homeschooling.

Anyway, now that we’re heading into 2nd grade I feel we need to do a few more school-ish things, a little more regularly. But I don’t know how that looks.

When pondering for the Planning your CM Ed. I came up with this:

Term 1: Aug 26 to Nov 22 (13 weeks)

Vacation week of Nov 25 (1 week)

Term 2 Part 1: Dec 2 to Dec 16 (3 weeks)

Vacation weeks of Dec 23 and 30 (2 weeks)

Term 2 Part 2: Jan 6 to March 6 (9 weeks)

Testing on March 7 ?

Term 3: Spring Schedule: March 10 to June 6 (13 weeks)

Light for Summer : June 9-Aug 23 (11 weeks)

I felt strongly this year I want to be done with the sitting, inside kind of work early in March. Spring is my favorite time of year and I felt guilty for ditching the plan in favor of playing in the creek or working in the yard. I want to feel really free to get my desire for all the outside I want in the spring. But then I don’t know what that means for academics. You can’t take off the spring AND the summer! 🙂 Seems like each term should have its own focus but I’m not clear what that may be. In the above plan, if we school 5 days a week for Terms 1 and 2, then 3 days a week for Term 3 and the summer, we have almost 200 days. That is fine with me and allows several days to skip our plan for better things, or bc Dad is home, or for illness, etc.

So does the above plan seem reasonable? Do you have suggestions for what subjects to focus on each term? Or is that adding complication where it isn’t needed? Any other thoughts or suggestions for me as I’m beginning to put this plan together?

Thanks!!
