They also do any kind of music lesson practice or practice their martial arts katas. While I am working with an individual child, my other students are working on their own individual tasks that are listed on their daily assignment sheet. What are other students doing while you work with an individual child?
During this individual time with each child we work together on: The amount of time this takes varies depending on the child, their daily assignments, and the day of the week. Individual Time with Each ChildĪfter our group work is finished, I begin my individual time with each child. This portion of our day takes about an hour and a half. For instance, penmanship consists of copying only one sentence. I know that list may look like a lot to cover in a school day but, each little piece, with the exception of History and Science, take just a few minutes a day. This is made easier by choosing a multi-age curriculum and that offers something for all of my children, like My Father’s World. Group work consists of all the things that are common to all of my children no matter the age. This as always seemed to be the simplest way to begin because all of my children are already gathered at the table for breakfast. We always start our day with Bible reading and “group” work. Each of my children has a weekly homeschool assignment calendar that helps to keep them on track. My schedule has definitely changed over the years as my family has grown and our needs have changed, but the basic format of our days has stayed the same. My Homeschool Schedule for Multiple Grades This can be done by scheduling different subjects at different times of the day or dividing the day into blocks where each child works on one subject at a time.Ī mixture of the two ideas is what has worked for my family over the years. On the other hand, it can be difficult to keep everyone on task with so many different ages and interests, and to cover all of the subjects needed at each level.Īnother option is to stagger the school day so that each child has individual attention.
On one hand, the children can learn from each other and enjoy group activities. One option is to school all the children together. When considering homeschooling children in multiple grades, there are a couple of options to choose from. Those days were not as challenging as homeschooling with a toddler, but a schedule was definitely a must. When I first started homeschooling, I had two school age children and one newborn. I have homeschooled my six children since my eldest was was in Pre-K, and I have now graduated two of the six.
