Homeschooling Schedule?

Question

Can someone help me with a schedule? Work in AM, extras in PM, please

Give time for:

Rosetta Stone Latin Computer Program

Glencoe Life Science (2 or so lessons)

Holt Mathematics

Latin/Greek roots work

English (I guess)

I am going to do a Classical Education

Sorry for no many details, everything is unsure right now

ANY & all tips on scheduling would be useful

Answer 1

I'm guessing some of these subjects are going to require more time (study time) than others. If you are older say 14 and up here's what I suggest. Look at these subjects as though they are college courses. 1 hour of class 3 days a week = a 3 credit course. Plus 2 hours of extra study. That looks like this:  

Mon, Wed. Fri, You work for 1 hours and 40 mins on Latin per day (This includes root work and rosetta). This doesnt look like much, but when you aren't sitting through lecture for an hour you can actually get things done. I want you to do language first. On these same days I think you should spend at least 1 hour if not 1.5 hours on your math, but again if you are old enough and fairly well self teaching you can probably cut it to an hour depending on your grasp of the lesson.

Now on Tuesday and Thursday. Over 2 days a 3 hour course is 1.5 hours plus 2 hours of extra study time. You wont need that much time for science I think you could probably spend an hour a day for both reading and lab.

Then for Laguage Arts (English, Liturature, whichever you call it) Break this down into manageable bits over your morning say 1 hour for reading, 1 hour for writing, and 1 hour for the lesser things.  It may seem like a lot but remember you're doing this work over 2 days and not 5.  

So if I break it out into a schedule it looks like this.

MWF:

9am--Latin Computer and roots

10:30--break (clean up Latin, walk outside clear your mind)

10:45--begin mathematics

12:15--break for lunch

12:45--extra curricular activities

TTH:

8:00am--language arts

10:30--take a 15 minute break

10:45--science 1 hour (include clean up in this time, so prepare for experiments the night before)

11:45--continue laguage arts (tie up loose ends and put books away

12:15--lunch

12:30/45--begin extra curricular activities.  

Use your evenings to prepare for lessons that require extra bits and pieces such as science. Anything you did not finish during the week spend 1-2 hours on Saturday finishing reading material. If you have to spend more than one Saturday or evening add extra time earlier in the morning until you can fit all that needs be done into your morning time. If you are needing to do this work in the afternoon shift the times above to your start times and end times. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Folks who don't know you cannot provide a schedule for you.

What are your strengths and weaknesses, your interests?  For some students, math might be a quick class and for others it might take longer.

Flexibility in scheduling is one of the great benefits of homeschooling.  It can be completely personalized to your needs.

Some suggestions for you to consider:

1) Do the course work that you find the least interesting first.

2) Experiment with it a bit.

3) Set goals for the week and meet your goals - an exact hour by hour, minute by minute schedule does not have to be written in stone.  If you have time leftover at the end of the week because you met or exceeded your goals, then you get a reward - time off.

Hi.  I have a schedule that I can scan and send you that I use for my son, you could use it as like a model and fill it in with your own needs.  I added you to my contacts, just so you don't think that some 'weirdo' LOL...just message me if you want the schedule.
