We began "practice school" a couple of weeks ago, doing some little activities and science explorations just to practice getting into some type of routine. Then, last week we registered Brett in his Umbrella Program at a local Christian private school. At that point we were able to begin counting our "days." In our state we are required to go 180 days for 4 hours/day. We are following a more traditional day schedule right now, based on the recommendation of my mother (who is a school teacher) so we are actually doing about 5 to 5 1/2 hours of school, but I've found that to really cover everything and give practice time, we need to have more than the 4 hours...especially since we are doing a 4 day school week with a light day/enrichment day on the 5th day.
Here is what our days are looking like...
8:30- Pledge/Bible time
9:00-Phonics
9:20-Circle time
9:50-snack time/break
10:00-Math
10:25-Directed Play
10:40-Handwriting
11:00- Sonlight Read Aloud time
11:30-Lunch
12:30-Science/skill development/Thinking Skills/Art
12:50-break/play
1:00-Sonlight History
1:30-recess (outside time, or indoor games if weather is bad)
2:00 nap/quiet time
