I prefer to teach the boys together and Pumpkin on her own although she does participate in some subjects with the boys. No way could I have them doing their math and her doing her math at the same time. Maybe one day.Karin Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14516662405528660516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-11909415734123302212009-08-11T09:39:51.750-05:002009-08-11T09:39:51.750-05:00One more question Marsha....

I think we might be getting 2 hours per day in? For a first grader?

And on science days, we do 2 days of science in one day. All subjects are scheduled out for a 4-day school week.<br /><br />It makes it easier for us to mentally focus on one subject, rather than hopping around so much. It also allows us to dig deeper or run a rabbit trail if we want-- which, honestly, rarely happens-- they just like to be done! ;)<br /><br />With the 4 day school week, we have more flexibility with extra-curricular acitivities. Plus, that 5th day is great for field trips, playdates, cleaning or just catching up on anything we got behind on during the week.MarshaMarshaMarshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787051368018458658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-34835301281706856652009-08-06T02:00:07.318-05:002009-08-06T02:00:07.318-05:00Marsha, can you elaborate on the block scheduling?...Marsha, can you elaborate on the block scheduling? IT looks like a great idea, but how do you get all your LA done (or other subjects) when you are only doing them 2 or 3 times a week? By the way...that was me commenting on the purse post---new purse each year on my birthday. I also switched to the backpack style again.
