School year planning con't

I am not much of a planning person (my husband is though), but for this coming year I have decided to do my best and have a yearly plan so that, as my husband would tell me, even if I don't end up following the schedule to the letter, my mind at the very least will be organized.

I previously wrote a post about our curriculum. You can check it here.

So, so far I have come up with a week by week school plan for the year and a weekly schedule.

This is what the week by week schedule looks like. I printed first and wrote on it in pencil. Once finalized, I'll write on the the computer and print it out.


Week by week Schedule














I am hoping that our weekly schedule will look like this:

Bible: Everyday morning and evening
Math: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
English (FLL): Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Spelling: Tuesday and Thursday
Handwritting: Wednesday
History and Geography: Tuesday or Thursday (Readings)
Science: Monday (science experiments)
Arts and Crafts: Monday or Wednesday
Latin (starting in January): Thursday

You may have noticed that our week has only 4 days, that's because I want to leave a day for catch up, and, when our electives with our Co-op starts on Fridays (on which day we hardly get any time to do school), the schedule won't be messed up. Also I am leaving room on Wednesday for a possible playdate day.

Here are some very valuable websites on the subject of school planning:

Oklahoma Homeschool. make sure to browse around the site, it has great information on homeschooling.

Donna Young, Talibiddeenjr and How to homeschool today have a wealth of free homeschool forms. And again be sure to browse around, they also contains other valuable information on homeschooling in general.

I am still working on my resource book which is really a list of books I want to use from the library for science, social studies and arts and crafts.

Have a great day, Joelle

Hi! I want to post my schedule on my blog, but can't figure out how. I have it typed on a table in microsoft office. When I copy and paste it into my blog post, it does not appear as a table. Can you tell me how you did yours?

Thanks so much!

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
