My New Schedule...
I spent the last two weeks working on
the new year schedule for DS... unfortunately, I then spent the last
week offline as my internet connection was down... due to 2 different
issues!
I used the time wisely, and re-read many of my homeschooling books, making notes and suggestions for new ideas.
But here is a copy of the schedule for the 2nd year... year 1A for Mater Amabilis users, year 2 for Ambleside Online and Latin Centered Curriculum users.
| Time | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | | 9:30 | Latin | Latin | Latin | Latin | Latin | | 9:40 | | | | | | | 9:50 | Math | Math | Math | Math | Math | | 10:00 | | | | | | | 10:10 | Breaktime | Breaktime | Breaktime | Breaktime | Breaktime | | 10:20 | Geography | Saints | Geography | Saints | Earth Science | | 10:30 | | | | | | | 10:40 | Copywork and Recitation | Copywork and Recitation | Copywork and Recitation | Copywork and Recitation | Nature Study | | 10:50 | | | | | | | 11:00 | 50 Famous Stories | Norse Myths | Bible | Biography | | | 11:10 | | | | | | | 11:20 | American Tall Tales | An Island Story | Life of Our Lord | This Country of Ours | | | 11:30 | | | | | | | 11:40 | AO Read Aloud | | Catechism | | | | 11:50 | | | | | | | 12:00 | Art- Drawing | Composer Study | Artist Study | Art- Brush | | | 12:10 | | | | | | | 12:20 | Read Aloud | Read Aloud | Read Aloud | Read Aloud | Read Aloud - Burgess Book | | 12:30 | | | | | |
Now on to an explanation.
As suggested by the Latin Centered
method, we have prioritized mathematics and Latin... they come
first. We also have the English Studies, American and Modern
Studies, Christian Studies, Classical Studies and Nature Studies as
suggested... only I have broken them down into the various books I will
be using (I did colour code them though)!
Like Mater Amabilis and Ambleside Online I have the composer, art study and geography based studies.
And I opted for the Catholic MA religious reading selections.
I added some MA and AO reading selections to the LCC methodology, so I
might follow the Charlotte Mason Method of short lessons, frequently
changed. And I spent the last week trying it out for fit... it
went well, now I just have to keep it up!
I dont claim this to be the final cut, I am sure there will be other adjustments made here and there, but I am trying.
The schedule is to be posted in plain sight of DS... the PNEU (Parents
National Education Union started by Charlotte Mason) advocated a
schedule in sight of the child, which they could then look at and see what was coming next... kind of reinforcing the 'get that done now' attitude.
And as for the artist study? Renoir... Girl with a Watering Can this week.
