Working On My Homeschool Plan

Some have asked to see my schedule for the year.  This is what it looks like:

Starting September 5, 2010 to October 16, 2010 (6 weeks) we will do regular school.  I haven’t figured out the plan completely, but we will continue with math (as we have been through the summer), we will add science (2 times a week) and character studies (2 times a week).  We will add piano as long as I can get some books from which to teach.  For the younger two, we will do a letter of the week for those six weeks.  Then we will break for one week.  In that week we will only do the regularly scheduled activities of dance and choir.

Starting October 25, 2010 to December 4, 2010 (another 6 weeks) I hope to have purchased and planned at least 6 weeks of Tapestry of Grace material and have all the books here.  So we will add TOG to the math, and other subjects mentioned above.  The younger two will continue with another 6 letters of the alphabet.

YAY for December!  We will break from all regular school-y stuff and do a unit study on the topic of Christmas.  I will have to be planning this during the fall months.  That will take the four weeks of December to January 1st when we will start another 6 weeks session.

After two more 6 week sessions we will have another unit study in April (3-30).  I have not yet decided what this unit will be, but I’ll let the kids decide I think.  Then another two 6 weeks sessions followed by a third unit study / planning / summer break in August (July 31 to August 27).

Now to print some planning pages to get more specifics down on paper and out of my jumbled mind.

What does your homeschool year look like?
