Our School Routine

Typically, subject to change and then change again, our schedule looks like this:

• Morning Calendar (school days)
• Bible/devotional/My ABC Bible Verses (daily)
• Math-U-See (usually 3 days per week)
• Get Ready for the Code (one lesson takes 2-3 days but Joshua asks to do it every day)
• Spanish (3 days per week but he has been asking to do more)
• Arts/Music (2 days per week)
• Science/Social Studies/History (following our curriculum, a little each day)
• Exercise (3 days per week)
• Cooking (at least one day per week that Joshua can help prepare a meal)

Our daily schedule looks something like this:

• breakfast
• morning chores; make bed, get dressed, brush teeth, etc.
• 15 minutes of playing Nintendo DSi (this has really been helping get Joshua calmed down before school starts)
• school starts about 9
• snack break and computer time about 10
• finish school
• lunch at 12ish
• movie/cartoons/wii/free play
• chores ( 2-3 days a week, the boys have chores to do but that is another post)
• get ready for dinner
• after dinner we have some family time
• evening chores; pajamas, brush teeth, clean up toys and books, etc.
• read books and turn out the lights

I use the Well-Planned Day to keep me sane, it breaks down each day and subject for me. Then as we complete an item I just mark it off. It also has a place for dinner planning, priorities and weekends. It is full of inspiring quotes and stories, too.
