I came across this in the body of another post and I wanted to post it as a stand alone…Tristan has a wonderful idea that I think will work really well for us and I wanted to make sure you all could see it more readily!
here is the link to how she does it:

Oh. my. goodness. I will defiently make use of this! I work from home, and there are times I really need my third grader to work independantly for a block of time so I can work. This is perfect! I can make a little deck of cards with these ideas, and tell her to choose 5 or 6 to do. Many of these look like they need the help of another person, but I’m sure I could come up with some that don’t. Thanks for the idea 🙂
Glad the idea is helping others! It has been so wonderful at our house. My kids enjoy it because it seems ‘fun’. Yesterday we did these 5 minute studies:
– Recite scripture memory
– Sing a hymn we’re learning
– Read 1 Aesop’s fable and discuss.
– Read an etiquette lesson (Etiquette Factory Intermediate Level)
– Had a child read/recite a poem for the family.
Nothing took longer than 5 minutes, simple but effective.
For us, 5 minutes lessons is the ONLY way we can survive. My son, with ASD, cannot stay longer than that on a subject. So we just do a little bit everyday.
I used to feel guilty thinking I should stay for 20-30 doing one subject at a time but realized that this works for us and I am seeing results!
