5 Ways to Structure Your Homeschool Day

1. The Checkoff List- Type up a list of subjects and/or assignments. Have your child mark off the assignemnets as they work through each one.

2. Timed Check-off- Work on each subject for a planned-out period of time. For the lower elementary years, 15 minutes per subject is a good starting point.

3. One Subject a Day- Some families complete math and reading every day and then spend one day studying History, one day for English, one day for Science, one day  for field trips/art/dr. appointments.

4.  Loop Scheduling-Work through all the subjects at your own children’s pace and then start through the loop again. Some days you may make it through half your loop and sometimes you will make it through a loop and a half in one day.

5.  Un-schooling-no set schedule. The studies are child-directed and the parent helps the student study and learn about what they are interested in.  Time spent on school and assignments completed are not important.
