Schedule?? BHFHG w/2 (1 w/ext), maybe w/LHFHG too & toddler

Post by Mom2Monkeys » Fri Feb 25, 2011 12:18 pm

Would love to see a schedule from someone using BHFHG with 2 kids...one as is with emerging readers, other with extensions...plus I will have an almost 5yo K4'er and an almost 2 year old. I'm considering LHFHG for the will be 5yo at half speed, but I'd prefer not start him in it just yet. (But seeing it in schedule will help me a lot!) plus I'm going to have my toddler running around. He'll have therapy for about an hour 2 to 5 times per week...it's not all settled yet. So, that's a good hour I'll be able to use for a couple days a week at least since it's in-home.

Anyone have a schedule using these guides and similar "season" that would let me have a peek into your day?

Here is Julie's plan from when she did Bigger & LHFHG with a little one. I've really loved using Julie's ideas because they REALLY helped me get a schedule going that works for me & my kids. Maybe something here will help you as you plan, too. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1395

By the way, it's really good to see you here again Tamara. :D I haven't been on the board much this year since I haven't had much computer time, but I love checking in when I can and it's good to see you here!

I know one thing that has really helped me consistently homeschool happily is having a plan in place. The more kids added to the day...the more necessary a schedule was! :shock: We're not rigid about it, and honestly the thought that goes into "what's everyone going to be doing at any given time" was all I needed to successfully manage it daily. "What should I do now, Mom?" coming from all the kids ALL day stresses me out! So, we're all much happier if they know what to do and I can use my mental energy for something else, like teaching them! :D

Happy Planning!
