2006-2007 School Day Schedule

Our new school year started on September 11. At the start of each new school year and term, I examine what is working and what isn't and change things accordingly. This year I decided the children needed a morning recess time to help them to concentrate better. I also thought they needed a bribe incentive to complete their schoolwork in a timely manner. Also, I felt they needed a set period of individual time, a slightly later bedtime, and a set time to awake.

With those changes in mind, I created our 2006-2007 School Day Schedule:

   7:00-8:00 Rise & Morning routine 
   8:00-8:30 One-on-one with S; independent work for D 
   8:30-9:00 One-on-one with D; independent work for S
   9:00-10:00 Group work 
 10:00-11:00 Recess
 11:00-12:00 Complete schoolwork or, if done and checked, 60 minutes of TV or computer  
 12:00-12:30 Chores 
 12:30-1:00 Lunch and lunch clean-up 
   1:00-2:00 Room time (Quiet time)
   2:00-4:00 Chores then free time
 4:00-Dinner Free time or complete school work
 Dinner-9:00 Free time/bedtime routine
