Thank you Annaz.
Okay, I have a specific schedule, but I need to know generally if I have the right times for breaks... help me out here. So far most of our day is breaks and we do very little schooling.
55 min school, 5 min break, 35 min school, 30 min break, 60 min school, 10 min break for lunch, story time and poetry during lunch for 25-30 minutes, then science for 15-50 minutes, 20 min break, 30-60 min chores and then freedom!
Is that do-able? I have us starting at 9 and done with school sometime between 12:45 and 1:10.
But wait! That isn't 3 and a half hours plus another 20 minutes for Phonics Road Spelling. Ugh!
Here is my schedule:
9:00 Phonics Road Spelling (20 minutes)
9:20 Dot mapping for vision (10 min)
9:30 Math (25 min)
9:55 break (5 min)
10:00 Reading about History, (10-15) Bible Study, (5-10) History Assignment Box (15-20)
10:35 Recess (30)
11:05 Phonics Road Grammar and Phonics Road Literature/Reading (40)
11:45 Lunch, Storytime, Poetry (35, she can do some reading to me while preparing lunch, I can read to her while she eats, whatever, but there is 10 min for just eating)
12:20 Science (this varies)
12:40 or 1:10 Chores
1:30 or 2 Freedom
What am I doing wrong?
