Our typical day

Everyday varies, but a "perfect" day goes something like this:



1. Awana verses (they have Awana on Wed evenings so we review the verses during school time)



2. Phonics instruction (appx 15-20 mins)



3. 15 minutes of oral reading



4. Seatwork explanation (5 mins)



5. 30 minutes of seatwork (phonics and writing seatwork and copy work...this teaches him to copy things from a book, the board, etc...it also teaches him to work independently relying on himself to read his own directions...during this time I usually make the beds, unload/load the dishwasher, check email :p Once Dalton starts kindergarten I will spend this time with his instruction)



6. 15 minute break



7. Writing instruction (we are currently learning about sentences, phrases, etc)



8. Math instruction (appx 20-30mins)



9. Math combination practice (add and sub flash cards) about 5 mins



10. 15 minutes of reading



11. Science/History/Health (depending on the day) (10mins)



12. Poetry (5 mins)



13. Seatwork (math pages and time to finish up any seatwork that wasn't completed in the first 30 mins seatwork time)



14. art/science project





So as you can see this takes us about 3 1/2 hours. Somedays more, somedays less...but we are usually always done by lunch time. Somedays if Hunter is not concentrating as well we will do math/science/art in the a.m. and we'll do his phonics and writing in the late afternoon.



How do your days usually go? I'd love to know!!
