This is my favorite part of homeschooling.
History Memory Work Notebooking with Notebooking Pages Lunch Break/Read-Alouds He also traces a map and reviews the geography memory work.)ġ1:00-12:00 - Writing (Anna works on her Lost Tools of Writing lessons and Grant and I sit down with his IEW assignment for the week - we only hit IEW 2-3 times per week, and since this is our first year I feel good about that. You will see that reflected in this schedule.ĩ:00-10:00 - Math (I read through the lesson with my younger child and am available to answer questions during this hour for my Challenge student) *If my younger child finishes before she finishes math he is welcome to read, play LEGOS, or shoot baskets outside.ġ0:00-11:00 - Current Events & History/Geography (My Challenge student works on her current events articles while my Foundations student either notebooks the history sentence, works in his PreScripts book, or watches Liberty's Kids. My Foundations/Essentials student is still very relaxed. I don't set a timer like I have heard some Challenge parents do for their children. Sometimes she will devote more or less time. My Challenge B child needs to devote roughly an hour each day to each of her six seminars. We have many homeschool spaces, but we have settled into one child working at the kitchen table while the other child is at the dining room table. This year we have chosen to all work downstairs. Kids up, breakfast, devotions, something of beauty (a SQUILT lesson, picture study) Foundations memory work (10 minutes), morning chores, piano practice Mom up, showered - I also work for an hour before my kids are up.ħ:15 a.m. When people make comments about us being able to sleep in because we homeschool my kids generally roll their eyes at me! Here's what our morning routine looks like:ĥ:30-6:00 a.m. (Don't you love how homeschooling mostly points back to US?) In our house, getting out of bed and having a consistent morning routine is crucial. I am still learning, but I feel very comfortable with our schedule this year, so I'm ready to share it with you. We share CC's goal to "Know God and Make Him Known". I DON'T believe in stressing them out in the process. We attempt to do what we can and what my children are capable of achieving. Looking at it from the outside the amount of work we have signed up for is overwhelming. It helps bring into focus the philosophy of Classical education and might help you focus on the most important academic investments. If you haven't read The Core, I highly recommend you read it before you go any further in Classical Conversations. I will emphasize that I believe in keeping it SIMPLE.Ĭlassical Conversations is a beautifully crafted program that needs very few additions from an over-achieving mom (ahem). I don't claim to be an expert in Classical Conversations I'm simply a mom sharing what works best for OUR family. *For details on all of these programs, visit the Classical Conversations website. My 13 year old daughter, Anna, is in Challenge B.
Our homeschool this year consists of two Classical Conversations students: my 9 year old son, Grant is in Foundations and Essentials. The best laid plans at the beginning of the year can often go awry after just a month. I always prefer six weeks of "grace" when adjusting to a new school year.
