I took away the 30 minute time slots for them as it was frustrating them to change subjects before they were ready. So they basically have a start and a stop time and that's it. They do have a general list as to what needs to get done in a day so we will see if that helps.

You know what is so funny as I read this? That, today we are starting to implement the 30 min per subject like you had originally (I got the idea from your post), and switching from the 9:00 to 12:00 schedule. I just thought it might really work for my boys. Let's see how it goes. I'll let you know. It just sounds like it might help keep them on track, but they are much younger than yours. M and K just work at their own pace and get their work done, but I think that the time limit helps to keep my 1st grader/2nd grader focused.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting your schedule. I was so curious!

I hope version 3 works better! It's so frustrating to find your "groove". As far as keeping the little ones occupied, my mom gave me a fantastic idea several years ago that might help you. She used to "assign" each older kid a 20 minute time slot to play with the baby during school time. With 3 older kids it works out to an hour. I tried it, and it was really helpful to have 20 minutes to work with one of the kids, while another child played with the baby.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing for circle time?
how'd your week go?
ReplyDeleteWe cleaned out the garage so now we have a place that will keep David and Olivia contained while I supervise the older kids doing school. I am not sure about a schedule other then a specific start time. I am excited to try it out.
