How long for each box in Preparing?

Post by Mumkins » Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:02 pm

So I just went through the one week plan on the main site. I wrote down each box and if it was T, S or I. Now I'm wondering how long to set aside for each box? Yes, I want to make my fall schedule already! Kinda crazy, I know. But I've been waiting for 2 years to do Preparing! I'm so excited! Plus, I want to have all preparations, planning and shopping done before baby arrives. Which I know is far, but, it feels close.

So,how long does each box take apprx.?

My 10yo is doing it and it takes about 20-30 min per box I would say. She is usually done shortly after lunch and she is doing the extensions. She usually saves the experiments and/or activities for after lunch so lil sis can "help." LOL! She reads a lot of it herself as I have a younger child I am teaching, but she enjoys doing it more independently. We still do the oral narrations and things, but I am not always the one reading aloud. Sometimes she does that on her own. Depends on the day. Still, I think we get more done in a school day with HOD then we EVER did with the textbook formats.
I've done all the guides now with at least one child and still feeling the HOD LOVE. LOL!
