So, our schedule is pretty important. Do we always follow it? No. Do I schedule everything? No. We loosely base our home school education off of the Thomas Jefferson Education Plan. The children learn to love by doing what they are interested in, and what they are drawn to .. at first. Then we go into higher education and more disciplined activities and studies after they learn to LOVE learning.
So, normally this is what a day at our house looks like.
8:00am everyone up
8:30-9- Breakfast and get dressed
9:00 -9:30 Family devotional- scriptures, prayer, song, gospel principle lesson
9:30am-10:30am- Family Planning time ( what we will do for the day) chores, and work time around the house
10:30am- School work time
12pm- Lunch and clean up time. We are usually done with school work by now unless they want to do more.
1pm- Reading time
2pm- Outside play--rain or shine, sunny, hot or cold.. the kids get kicked outside! Wednesday and Friday they go to a home school PE class from 2-3pm at our local Rec. center.
4pm- clean up time and get ready for dinner.
5p,-6pm dinner time.
6-7pm family time- reading, fun games, cocoa in the winter, and just plain fun!
8pm bath time, scriptures, family prayer
8:30pm bed time.
