So, do you remember my "Project 2008" post? You can click over to refresh your memory...
I'll wait...
Well, my hallway looks exactly the same...3 months later.
But, wait, drum-roll please... I did come up with a project for April (I'm going to go back to small accomplishments-that I can maybe actually finish...)
I actually started this concept in March,
First- I had to work up a daily homeschool schedule (gasp- I am really an unstructured person).
Then, once I had my schedule...which I had to re-write 2 weeks later when we added our new bonus student...procrastination actually paid off that time, somewhat, I put together these folders for my younger students.
Here they are, -The schedule folders- for my 3 youngest students. This was actually Gracefulmom's idea...and we sat together last month and put together what you see in the first photo.
The idea is to have the table-time books and subjects for the week on these little pockets in the folder. I right clicked little thumb-nails of the books we use, printed them and glued them to the pockets. A file card goes in each pocket, and I can either list the pages the student needs to do for the day- and use it as a record of sorts, or put in a card that says how many pages to do that day. I had to complete a master schedule first, so I would know which order to put the books in...
Little kids do thrive on routine, I thought it would be soothing to know what books we were going to use each day, in what order.
I will share my re-worked daily schedules in a later post...I'm back on the schedule wagon again, now that I will have 5 students, I have to do it or we won't get through everything...
Did I mention I am schedule-phobic??
