Bigger Time limits per box

Post by wyoharpistmom » Fri May 10, 2013 1:08 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know how much time each box should take in Bigger? I know everyone is saying 3-31/2 hrs. per day, but how do you spilt it up?
Thanks,

I know there have been specific posts for the time for each box before, but in my experience (we are halfway through Bigger) it really varies. If there's an art project, that takes longer than a Geography activity (probably a lot of the variation between 3 and 3 1/2 hours is in the rotating box, that's the thing that can take longer or shorter times depending on what it is). If my DD is really struggling with math that day, obviously it takes longer, or sometimes English. I'm sure you're just looking for some rough estimates to help in scheduling. I can't help you there. Sometimes we actually get it all done in about 2 1/2 hours if we're really clipping along with few interruptions.

I do not know how to post links from my phone; but if you look on page 10 of the "Let's share our schedules" sticky, I think you will find what you are looking for. HTH!
