I just thought I would share a copy of a schedule we use for Preparing for our 4th grader. I know how much I love looking at other's schedules to get ideas. You should be able to click the link and then click download and it will open up for you. If, however, it doesn't work and anyone is interested I'd be happy to send it to you in word format.
Make note: My son wanted to be able to be more independent with his work and had asked for a schedule. This is a 5 day schedule but Preparing is only scheduled 4 days. We use the 5th day as a "check-up day" and do tests or quizzes. It helps me to have grades and a graded paper for our portfolio. We also go to the library on the 5th day so it reminds him he needs to do his Research on this day. I love for him to do it the old-fashioned way at the library!
This is a very general chart for him to have an order and a list to check off. He still uses the guide for which book to read or specific instructions. It's also good for me to make a quick glance and see what he has done at any point in our day. The bottom row is totally extra. It's things like practice guitar and foreign language simply as a reminder for him. Anyways, hope this helps or inspires someone who needed ideas!

Here's a pic in case the document doesn't work. The schedule is in a sheet protector and he keeps it in the front of his notebook.
I think this is so helpful as we are all constantly making new routines and schedules to adapt to our family's needs, and nothing helps more with that then having someone else's schedule to use as a pattern. Other ladies - especially those getting ready to do PHFHG - will surely refer to this as well and appreciate the time you spent in putting it together. In fact, I think this would be an excellent post to copy and paste into this link too if you get the chance:
