Very helpful! 🎉

So glad to hear that. Thank you for letting me know!

Why have I not thought about reduced days. That’s genius!

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Thank you! I didn't think about it until it became painfully obvious last year that we needed them! Thanks for watching.

I really like your reduced days method. That’s a great way to not get overwhelmed in the busy seasons. ❤

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

Thank you! I'm excited to implement it because we definitely got overwhelmed last year :)

[@homeschoolculture]

Prioritizing is such a needed concept to address and learn. Love the reduced lesson plan sheet. 😊

[@homeschoolculture]

Yes- “because we can” One of the many reasons I love homeschool.

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

It really is! I think this is a great opportunity to see that different things can take priority in different seasons of our lives.

I love schedule videos! The schedule we settled on during 6th grade for our only child was: (times are approximate, but generally pretty close to this idea) 9:00 about 10 min. each for spelling, vocab, math facts drills, typing, and Fix It grammar 10:00 Outside play/exercise 11:00 Math and writing 12:00 Lunch with video lessons for science, alternating with history documentaries 1:00 Rotating subject (each day a different subject) one of: LA, science experiment, history timeline and hands on project, health, and art 2:00 or 2:30-ish Musical instrument practice (two instruments) 3:00/3:30 Done Then after-school activities, and at some point independent silent reading for about 30 min., or longer if we didn’t have a lot going on that day. And we do read aloud after dinner/before bed.

This sounds like an amazing schedule! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your planning approach! It is always so helpful to see how others approach this process. QUESTION: where did you get the awesome signs (ziggurat definition, etc) placed behind you? I’m teaching a class on the Ancient Egyptians in coop next year, and could see those being incredibly useful tools. Thank you in advance!

[@HomeschoolwithJen]

I'm so glad it was helpful for you to see the process. For the signs, I can't include links in the comments, but it's from Student Savvy on Teachers Pay Teachers. It's part of a bundle for $3.50, Mesopotamia Posters | Mesopotamia Timeline | Ancient Mesopotamia Map Word Wall. Thanks for asking!
