Kindergarten Weekly Schedule

When I attended a Montessori school in early elementary school, we made our own weekly/daily schedules. Thinking back, I realize how wonderful that was in fostering independence. One of my goals is teaching Blue Rock to manage his time well and learn how to complete his weekly schedule. One great benefit of him learning to do this is as he gets older, if he wants to finish all of his work in a few days, he can. When I went to a Christian school in my later years, I would often work ahead in math. I really liked math but it was time consuming. I knew in middle and high school that the teacher would often assign every other problem but we didn't know if it was going to be odd or even problems. Like a nerd, I would work ahead and do all of the problems and be done with it before it was assigned. Often I worked ahead during certain sports seasons when I knew I'd be busy with late night games. This created extra work but when you enjoy something, it doesn't seem like work. Also it freed me up to do things I wanted to do during certain busy seasons. 

This is our tentative schedule. It looks prettier on Excel. Once we start, I'll make adjustments as necessary. Some subjects we'll do every day. Some just a few times a week. Once we complete something, we'll put an "x" in the box. Once we get to the green area, we are done for the week! This gives us some flexibility as well. For example, if we know we have a field trip one day, we can do a little extra work on the other days and be done a day early. I have another spreadsheet with our daily breakdown to keep things spaced out. Our day will be lighter on the day my son goes to his extra classes and we'll only do Bible in the morning, language arts, and music in the afternoon. If he wants to do math we can do math those days too. I only put three days a week for math since he likes to work through several pages at a time. If we get to some things that need more time, we will slow down and do a little math each day. Otherwise, I'm planning on doing math 3 days a week since he is already pretty advanced for his age. I'd also like to keep Fridays lighter for field trips and hanging out with friends. Honestly, homeschool students are always learning. That's another wonderful thing about homeschooling.
