Our Schedule

Our Daily Schedule

About me:  I am Heidi Jo a 34 year old wife to one and mom to 4 (Anri 10, Celina 9, Samuel 5 and Elijah 4)  My husband runs our family shoe business and works usually from 8 to 6 but also has to do much work at home.  His days are very flexible, which we love.  I have been homeschooling 7 years and use a very Non-schooling approach to our school.  I love the ideas of Charlote Mason, Heart of Wisdom, and Classical, we love to use them all in different ways.  I also work from home for my husband.

I use a check off list rather then a timed schedule.  Being tied to a time schedule just did not work for us.  Mostly because more often then note our days are not perfect!  As I am sure you know.  So I have a list that we go by and we just check off as we go.  Everything usually gets done, but if school and chores are drawn out, free time is cut very short!  Anyways…..here it is.

1. Wake up (very slow going at our house), eat, dress and personal devotions.
2. Morning Chores (this is when I start dinner prep)
3. Bible Time with everyone, even Dad if he is still home
4. School Review (a basic going over what is to be done for the day) and snack
5. Girl’s independent school (Math, Copywork, Art, Creative Writing, Foreign Language, History Reading) I do table time with the boys.
6. Lunch
7. Read Aloud
8. Finish Up school work/Mom’s computer time
9. Handy Craft (we are all working on cross stitching now, my boys usually build something)
10. Free time/Mom’s work time
11. Dinner and Devotions
12. Evening Chores
13. Bedtime for the kids
14. I spend time with my hubby doing projects and such

I find the simpler the better for us.

Hi Heidi Jo, Great schedule. Thanks for posting. I enjoy seeing what other homeschool moms do. I myself like to give myself time slots, but I have read more and more about moms who don't prefer it - and I completely understand! BTW, I am another island girl - I live in the Samoa islands. I am quite homesick for CA, though, and we will be going back home around Christmas time to see our family. It's been 3 years! God bless! Renay
