Daily routine for those that Home Ed

[Elgama]

Just wondering if you have a set routine and what is it? I need to set up a routine for various reasons but am not that way inclined HELPlol

Back when I was home schooled I was pretty much self directed. Of course that was for 8th grade, I imagine that wouldn't work for younger children, or even for many of the older. I did go twice a week to a friend's so his mom could teach me Algebra and English. But other than that it was free flow.

Probably not helping you at all am I?

The routine that we have settled into goes as follows:

Prayer/Scripture

Story Of The World (World History)

Math Facts drills

Handwriting practice

Mom reads a chapter in Narnia

Daughter - Treadmill 30 mins, reading, spelling workbook, piano

Son - therapy

Daughter - math and LA

Son - Math and LA (Switched on Schoolhouse)

Son - treadmill 30 mins, piano, reading

This is about it. We have them in piano lessons, Cubs, and some sport classes on Saturdays. Oh yes, and I consider Primary "school" as well.

I don't have set times for this, but we start at the top and work are way through things. I don't have my daughter doing science or social right now, due to the therapy work I am doing with my son. However, she is in grade 2 so we have time to get to that. I just started using Switched on Schoolhouse for my son (who is struggling his way through grade 3, doing LA and Math). I plan to move my daughter into SOS in the fall too and add the science to it then for both kids.

Regards,

Tamie

not really lol but thanks for replying I need something regimented for my son who is Autistic and right now struggling with an additional trauma. We were managing like yourself but he needs that security, I was mostly unschooled but guess it needs to change for his sake and don't think it will be too detrimental for the others

what is LA? sorry lol? right now we just do an hour writing and reading my daughter is 6 and son 3 (so he joins ins in) and we used to do a walk afterwards

Sorry - in Canada we call is Language Arts - basically curriculum that addresses learning to read, spell and use language. Not just the practice of reading but letter sounds, blends, compound words, prefixes, suffixes, how to compose a sentence, capital letters, etc. Does that make sense??

Sounds adorable. I go with what my gut tells me because I have a special needs kid and my mission in homeschooling is not always academically driven. Do what you feel works for your gang.
