Deeper Studies Schedule Sept-May

Posted in Scheduling

We have had a wonderful restful weekend so far. I am looking ahead to the coming week and am thankful we rested when we could. I have a feeling it is all about to change as we start our deeper studies schedule. We are a year-round home-education family so deep studies happen between Sept-May, and lighter studies between June -August. Of course learning happens all the time, and is a natural part of life, but for the sake of protocol I'll just say "lighter" and "deeper" studies .

Kaitlin's Deeper Study Schedule will be as follows (general guideline):

8:00-9:00 ~ wake up, breakfast, and get ready for the day

9:00-10:00 ~ Bible Study/Devotions/Prayer/Journaling

10:00-11:00 ~ Math
11-11:30 ~ BREAK

11:30-12:30 ~ History (alternating Science)
12:30-1:00 ~ LUNCH

1:00-2:00 ~ Handwriting, Spelling & English (alternating Reading)

2:00-3:00 ~ Extra's (Alternating Health, Spanish, Art, Computer)

Group/Out-Of-Home Activities: Monday (Dance class); Tuesday (Piano); Thursday's (Drama, Gym & Earth Science at co-op); Friday's (Field Trips)

Busy busy, schedule this year, but we always want to leave room for the Holy Spirit to lead, guide and direct. That is one of the reasons I call this a "general" outline.

We are using several curriculums this year: Bob Jones (Science, Reading, Handwriting, and History); ACSI (Spelling); Horizons & Calculadder2 (Math); Notebooking, Journaling; Shurley English (Writing & Composition); Institute In Basic Youth Conflicts ( Character Study series); YWAM Missionary stories (Devotions & Reading), Lots of library books.

There ya have it . . our year in review. ;-) How is your planning coming along?

Any wisdom you would like to share with us about planning a school year?

We also have lighter and deeper learning t/o our year. Glad to see another hs doing this. I find I have to keep up my momentum or it is lost!

yes, we don't really "quit" in the summer either. It is just too long, and I think I would have a harder time getting back into things than my daughter. Besides, it seems the structure does everyone some good. That said, we are not all that "structured." In some ways, we are, but I am not daring enough to assess times to my plan. Then I would feel behind all day. We start when we start, and I really like it when we get to math before lunch : )

Kelly, how, or when do you start having your kids journal? I would love to get my kids doing that during devotions, but I am wondering if they still may be a little young for that.

Ali . . .Thank you so much for visiting my blog. You wrote:

Kaitlin is in 4th grade and has a prayer journal where she writes down prayer requests and then any answers to those prayers. But when she was younger (4-7) I let her draw what I was reading to her from the Bible. If we were reading about Noah's Ark then she could draw while I read the story, and add sentences to her page if she liked. I wish I had a scanner so I could scan a few pics so you could see. Since she was highly kinesthetic at an early age she alwyas had to be drawing or writing while I read or else she couldn't keep track of what I was saying.

Hope this helps, and thanks so much for asking<>< Kelly

anyone else have any great ideas on journaling? Please feel free to add.

Kelly is spunky, very unconventional at times, fun to talk with, my best friend, and an incredible Mom and mentor to our dd. She is not afraid to lovingly hear from and tell people the truth when it is required, and is a true covenant friend. She is passionate about her relationship with the Lord, justice and righteousness, and you may see that in our blog. She loves people deeply, and sometimes gets hurt because of it - wearing her heart on her sleeve. Hearing her talk on the phone, laugh and have fun with her friends always makes me grin from the other room. She has great JOY!

"The truth is, if we claim Christ, we are never justified in being unkind, cold, indifferent, or cruel. Even if true serious sin needs to be addressed or dealt with, it should be in love, and love is kind, gentle, long-suffering, it seeks to elevate others, it is hopeful, assumes the best, etc. .."

~ Jen Igarashi in her post from June 14th, 2007 "I Wanna Be A Buffalo"

"As parent educators, we need to embrace a new notion of learning. We need to help the child discern the Lords will and equip him to answer his particular call. It is the heart and soul of the child we want to touch. For our purposes, we need to engage the heart in order to effectively educate the child. Our vision of a well-educated child is a child who has a heart for learning, a child who has the tools he needs to continue to learn for a lifetime and the love to want to do it."

~ Edith Stein

"A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.�"

~ Charles Kingsley

"Knowing the past about a person doesn't make us prophetic, but calling them into their future does! The question has never been, "Can we read the history of a man?" The question has always been, "Can we restore the future of a man?" Anyone can read the history of the man, but the Heart of the Father is to release the unfulfilled destiny of His broken children."

~ Denny Steyne
Mountain of Worship

"Out of defeat can come the best in human nature. As Christians face storms of adversity, they may rise with more beauty. They are like trees that grow on mountain ridges -- battered by winds, yet trees in which we find the strongest wood."

~ Billy Graham
