Easy Schedule for MTMM, CTC, LHFHG
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2012 5:00 pm
Hi ladies!
I thought I'd share my schedule for these guides, as it is super easy to use, and we are now in a good rhythm with it.
The boys decide their wake-up times and can change them at any time, though I do expect them to get up at 7:30 AM at the latest, or they can get up at 6 AM at the earliest. This schedule is a little different from the ones I have used in the past. As I find I am needing a stopping point for ME rather than my dc, I follow the clock this year. When the blocks of time are done, wherever we are, I move on to the next child. Then, I pick up where I left off with my teaching part in the next teaching block I have with them. I don't have specific times for each box though (i.e. 9 AM Reading about History). This has been great for this stage of my life and for the guides I am teaching!
By stopping with one child after a certain time, and moving on to another child and then stopping at a certain time, I find my time is well-balanced among my dc. Putting a definite stopping point for lunch and then having a break in the middle of the day after it has been good for ME.
Coming back to finish a few things after the break, I am a refreshed happier mama, and the dc are more ready to finish out a thing or two after running off some energy outside and having some free time.
It's too easy for me to do "just one more thing" and then suddenly one child didn't have me like they needed to, or I am still schooling past the time I want to.
This semi-schedule, more of a routine, has been a good fit for this year.
So, in case it would help someone else, I'll put it here and on the schedules' thread. If any of you have a schedule that is really working well now that you are into the school year a bit, please feel free to share it here and on the schedules' thread too!

In Christ,
Julie
