I'm going to use this next week to plan and I was just curious if anyone can give me an idea of the approximate amount of time for each block. I tried to make my own estimates of how long I thought it would take, and I can't make it fit in 4hrs.

How long do you take to do these blocks. Here's my estimation:

Left Side Blocks - 2hrs/day
History Reading - 30min
Storytime - 30min
History Project - 20min
Independent History Study - 20min
Bible Quiet Time - 20min

Right Side Blocks - 2.5 hrs/day
Bible Study/Geography - 20min
Language Arts - 40min (20min DITHOR; 20min Grammar)
Poetry - 20min
Math - 30min
Science - 20min

I wasn't sure which program you were planning on using, but here are Carrie's times for Preparing and CTC, which I cut and pasted from previous posts:
