Our children are now in 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th grade.Ī CM education is definately what I want.

And all of this for 7th-9th grade on a good level! If you believe it or not, right now it’s my biggest challenge to find out how I can combine a CM education as you (and other ressources) teach it and everything a Swiss curriculum demands. Anyway, I thought it was interesting to see how she scheduled foreign language too. Keep in mind that these lessons were not done back-to-back other subjects were inserted between in order to use a different part of the brain and prevent fatigue. So it looks like that age of students were doing close to an hour of foreign language work each day in her schedule too. Saturday: Latin (30 minutes), Italian (45 minutes) Thursday: French song (20 minutes), French (45 minutes) Wednesday: Latin (20 minutes), Italian (45 minutes) Tuesday: German (30 minutes), German song (20 minutes), Latin (45 minutes) Here is the foreign-language work that her grades 7–9 students did each week: I was just looking at one of her schedules to try to get some ideas for you. If you can get all the Family work done in a couple of hours, that leaves just the Individual work by grade level to finish out the day.Ĭharlotte’s students did multiple foreign languages, so you’re in good company. Here is a sample of dividing the work into Family and Individual subjects. That’s one reason I try to combine all the students for as many subjects as possible. Creating a schedule for multiple children can certainly be a challenge. Yes, the schedule above is a sample for just one child. Individual Studies-plans for language arts, math, and science by grade level (Grades 1–8 currently available).Enrichment Studies-plans for Scripture memory, hymn study, foreign language, poetry, music study, Shakespeare, nature study, handicrafts or art instruction, family read-aloud, plus habit training for the whole family.History Studies-plans for history, geography, Bible for the whole family.We have three series of lesson plan books, you can pick and choose or put them together to make a complete CM curriculum. Each gives you a complete year’s book list, weekly schedule, and daily itineraries so you know what to do for each day’s lesson. If you prefer to have the planning already done for you, our daily lesson plan books could be what you need. Any questions?

There you have it: a weekly schedule in 3 simple steps. I like to use one weekly schedule for a term and then rearrange to keep things fresh. You want them spread out throughout the day with other lighter subjects between. Make sure you don’t have two heavy read-and-narrate subjects back to back. I highly recommend that you take a final pass through to look at each day’s column by itself. So your columns might look something like this. If it occurs in the afternoon, put it farther down in its day’s column. If it happens first thing in the morning, put it at the top of that day’s column. Write each one down under the day of the week on which it occurs. Think about any recurring errands, appointments, lessons, or meetings that you participate in. Step 1: Reserve Slots for Outside Activitiesįirst, block out the time slots you need for outside activities. You can do this on a spreadsheet on your computer, on a whiteboard with dry erase markers, on the table or floor with index cards, on the wall with self-stick notes, on grid paper with colored pencils, on a desk calendar with crayons. Lay out your school days in columns, one day at the top of each column.

I’ve been using this 1-2-3 method of planning a weekly schedule for about 15 years now, so you know two things: first, it’s simple and second, it works. Many of you are in the midst of planning for your home schools, so I thought it might be helpful to share a quick explanation of how I plan my weekly schedule.
