I thought I’d share Anna’s typical school day schedule here. Anna loves lists so having this schedule for her works very well. Typically, all I have to do is tell her to look at her schedule and focus. If she has this schedule handy, she does pretty good staying on course on her own. If she stays on track and focused, often she’s finished way before 3:30. And some days she starts later and finishes later. Gotta love flexible school!
Some days baking cookies is more important than Grammar.
Some days she saves her Science to do with Dad in the evening.
Some days she does extra Math just to get it over with earlier.
We try to stay fairly flexible but most days we push to stay on track. I don’t want to be doing school all day long any more than she does and some day she will be out in the world and will have to know how to operate with a rigid routine. I suppose we strive for balance. A balance between academic and life education.
This schedule has changed about 5 times since we started this past September and will probably change a few times more before we finish in May. Another beauty of home school flexibility.
This post has more about our home school stuff in case you’re interested.
