Getting ready for our homeschool year

Well, I have kind of put our homeschool curriculum together for the coming year.  We are going to start a geography unit, the one blogged about in an earlier writing.  I have tweeked it a bit.  We are going to keep a three-ring binder on each geographical area we learn about.  I am hoping to make this unit study available for purchase when we are done.  So our schedule is as follows:

 

Mondays:

Gym from 11:00 to 1:00

Art - afternoon

Guitar - afternoon

Piano at 4:30

Basketball practice at 5:00

 

Tuesdays:

Math - am

English - am

Odyssey of the Mind 1:00 to 3:00

 

Wednesdays:

Geography Unit Study

History

work on Art projects

Basketball game - 6:00 pm

 

Thursdays:

Math

English

Geography

Skateboard Club - 3:45 to 5:45 (every other Thursday)

 

Fridays

Shakespear (A Midsummer's Nights Dream) 12:30 - 3:00 (first half of year)

 

We will fit in field trips when they come up.  We also have swim punch cards that we fit in on Tuesday and Friday evenings.

 

We usually take from Thanksgiving until January 3 off, due to the Holidays and two birthdays in December.  I also hold a Holiday Open House for my Mary Kay business on Thanksgiving weekend, with a lot of great sales.  There are just a few scheduled activities we do during that time, piano and guitar practice and Odyssey of the Mind.  That way we don't get too burned out and I change around what we are learning to make it fresh for the new year.

 

Happy School Year to all!
