Our First Week...
Our first week of homeschooling is now complete. I made and completely followed all my lesson plans. It's obvious that I need to work out some kinks in my schedule, though.
Two of our days last week lasted from 9am to 4pm! That is too long when your only students are a first and third grader. I asked my husband to look at my lesson plans to help me identify the problem. He thinks we're too heavy on Language Arts.
He may be onto something.
I don't spend an excessive amount of time on my first grader. My third grader's schooling is the one sucking up all my time. Our curricula for Language Studies are: Writing Strands Level 2 - 20-30 minutes, we're finishing up First Language Lessons - 10 minutes, learning cursive - 10-15 minutes, and 30 minutes of silent reading. And obviously there's a little time lost switching gears between subjects.
I don't want to cut anything. It all has merit. In addition to that there is also: math, spanish, art, music, history, and science. We don't do all of these everyday.
I have tweaking to do.
