A Typical Day: 2005-2006 School YearOf course there is no typical day! And I don't set a timer. This is simply a sketch of our goals any given day. Basically, math must be done before snack time and language arts type subjects need to be done before lunch. Some days we're so into history that we skip science and double up on it the next day. We generally school year round, but in June our schedule becomes much more activity-based. We keep math and language arts going in some form, and delve more deeply into individual child-directed interests.
