Hi,

I know Rev2Rev times will parallel most of RTR's, but I am looking for the times for the added/different boxes. Can anyone direct me to where that would be located? I have a dd who likes specifics and I am learning (still after 12 years!), that generalities bring anxiety to her little heart. We will be starting Rev2rev in a couple of weeks and would like to have her times ready for her.

Thanks so much,
Jess

I am waiting with you-my 13-year-old is a planner too

We are doing Rev2Rev now, but I can't give you times. Some of the boxes take 5 minutes one day and 20 minutes another. Even the Science box varies greatly from one day to another. Also, some days there is a Geography, other days it is a word study or poetry. It is just a very fluid program that just goes from one thing to another but at varying paces every day. I think it will be nearly impossible to give you box by box times. I would just schedule 5-6 hours (which is what it has taken us this week) and even then be flexible. The history project for unit 1 of making a headdress took longer than I expected because of the care he took in completing it. I definitely wouldn't want him watching the clock trying to get boxes done in an allotted time.

Here you go, Jess...
Carrie and I talked about the RevtoRev times as we laid out our plans, and I'd be glad to share what we are thinking...

Left Side of Plans - Learning Through History
Reading about History: 25 min.
*Note: This may be longer on the written narration day, though this will balance out as there is no history project on the written narration day.
Storytime: 15-20 min.
History Project: 20 min.
Rotating box (Geography, Worthy Words, Timeline, Poetry): 10-20 min. (depending on length of poem and length of primary source document)
State Study: 20 min. (3 x a week)
*Note: One day will be shorter when there is no state study.
Independent History Study: 10-15 min. (longer on "Draw and Write" days)
2 hours (using the longest times)

Right Side of Plans - Learning the Basics
Bible Quiet Time: 15 min.
Music Appreciation: 20 min. (2 x a week)
Biblical Worldview: 20 min. (2 x a week)
Math: 30 min.
*Note: Add 15 min. more if doing "Discovering Mathematics".
Language Arts Box:
Dictation: 5 min. (3 x a week)
DITHOR: 35 min. (3 x a week)
Creative Writing: 25-35 min. (1 x a week)
R & S English: 20 min. (4 x a week)
Science Exploration: 25 min.
Inventor Study: 15-20 min.
2 hours, 50 min. (using the longest times)

HTH!
In Christ,
Julie
