School Schedule, Summer 2006
This post is an addendum to a longer post at my regular blog on the topic of scheduling. Please go there for the rest of the story.
“Summer” time for us lasts as long as we’re on Daylight Saving Time. As soon as we go off, we’ll change to our “Winter” schedule, in which everything but the morning milking happens an hour earlier.

Hey Kathryn! I should have mentioned in the text that this post is an addendum to a post at my regular blog on scheduling. I should edit that in.
For Morning Time, we open with prayer, then each student recites his memory work. Currently, my 17yod is working on a poem by Hilaire Belloc, 15yos is memorizing Psalm 1 in Latin (he already knows it in English), 13yod has just finished Psalm 23 and will be choosing something new, 6yod has mastered Psalm 24 now and will be moving on, too, and the other three are still working on Psalm 24. Then we sing a hymn that we’re memorizing – “At the Name of Jesus,” Trinity 163. The two oldest are dismissed after that, and the younger ones have their Latin lesson, then 13yod is dismissed. Next we read our Bible story – currently in the book of Joshua, and after that is our storybook, which is The Magician’s Nephew, right now. Sometimes they have a coloring page from their Latin lesson, which I let them work on during the storybook time.
HTH
You know, we have always had a “morning time” without knowing what it was called…too funny.
I usually add in any poetry reading/memorizing.
Bible/Catechism memory work, Bible Lesson, Poetry, Biography reading, then any lesson review that applies to everyone (whatever I want to work on at the time, phonagrams, times tables, books of the Bible, whatever). Then we go right to our history/literature/geography/composition lesson.
Before table time, when I am finishing up dinner preperation or whatever I need to do, the children get out their penmanship workbooks and math workbooks and do those. Whenever they are done those, we begin table time.
