I am ALL about routine versus schedule!! No two days look alike at our house, so routines help us have a sense of normalcy and help keep the chaos under control. 🙂
YES! That is a great great grat tips!
When I was a “newbie”, I used to get so stressed out thinking I must have a set homeschool schedule; I think many people starting out think this.
Over the years, we have become very relaxed in our daily routine. We typically start our day after lunch. The reason why we do this is because is because
1. I am not a early riser
2. I think play time is important in allowing more focus when it is time for schooling.
So, after we wake up around, 9 a.m , we eat breakfast and do our morning dressing, teeth brushing, etc. Then I allow my kids to play until lunch time. After lunch, is when we start our lessons; by then my kids have gotten their energy’s out and are ready to be calm and focus on their school work. Since we only have one lap top, I have my youngest get on and do his Time4Learning lessons first and then switch to the next child. While one is on the computer, I have the other work on writing, reading, flash cards, etc. After they are done with that we then do any Unit Studies, Art projects, etc. We usually avg. 3-4 hours a day. So, by 4-5pm we are done.
Anyways, that is our routine 🙂
