Girl’s fall schedule

Posted in The nuts and bolts of it at 2:17 am by Meg

At least as far as it’s shaping up.

I’m thinking the child will be a tad bit busy; and with taking the ps class, no more slow mornings.

Monday

7 AM catch the bus to the public school - I probably would have considered driving her because the class doesn’t start until something like 8:10, but Datter will be riding the bus and they might as well go together.

9:20 - I pick her up

10:00 - martial arts class

11:10 - pick her up, she goes home, showers and has lunch.

12:45 - she starts her seatwork for us and any homework from Spanish class

Tuesday

7 AM - catch bus

9:20 - I pick her up and we go home.  She works on seatwork and can break for lunch when she wants.

2 PM - biology lab at our house (normally)

4 - lab is over and she can finish up anything left hanging or Spanish homework.

Wednesday

7 AM - catch bus

9:20 - I pick her up and we go home.  She works for about 2.5 hours on seatwork and then breaks for lunch around noon.

1:10 PM leave the house for the library

1:30 - Global issues class at the library - given by someone ELSE in our group. (Can you tell that I’m happy?)

3:30  - head home where she can finish up anything left hanging or Spanish homework.

Thursday

7 AM catch the bus

9:20 - I pick her up

10:00 - martial arts class

11:10 - pick her up, she goes home, showers and has lunch.

12:45 - she starts her seatwork for us and any homework from Spanish class

Friday

7 AM - catch bus

9:20 - I pick her up and we go home.  She works for about 2.5 hours on seatwork and then breaks for lunch around noon.

1 PM - homeschool group activity - gym, swimming, bowling etc…

And for classes it’s looking like:

Biology

Geometry

English (literature samples, grammar, and full length books)

Japanese history

I’ll probably put the Global issues class under something like current events.

foreign languages - Spanish through the ps, a little French literature to keep that from dieing, and Japanese.

Music (which reminds me that her music lesson is at 10:30 AM on Fridays right now and I’ll need to move that to a more convenient time) which will be a combination of her music lessons and a music appreciation text that I picked up a while ago and then set aside.  Combined it will give her a nice art elective.

oh, and I mustn’t forget that she just applied to volunteer at the Children’s Museum on a regular basis.  She hasn’t heard back yet, but that will have to be added in.

Hubby has expressed concern that she’ll be lonely without her brother around all day;  looking at this, I’m wondering if she’s going to have a chance to miss him.

And someone asked me the other day if I was considering directing another play - I just looked at them and asked when would we have time for rehearsals on this schedule?

Then I said that I wasn’t going to even seriously consider it until after October when we can see how busy our life is.
