Our Schedule

I get asked all the time what our schedule is like during the day.  So, I thought I would post a little bit about what our day looks like at the Sutton Ponderosa.  However, this can change on any given day at any given moment, depending on what is going on.  I have the authority to do that since I have the privilege of running this shindig :)  So here we go...

6:30 Mom rise and shine
6:45 Mom workout
7:45 Bible time for Mom
8:00 Boys up/Breakfast
9:00 Bible with boys
9:30 History with boys
10:30 Break
10:45 Little man Math on the computer
          Brother has Science
11:15 Little man Science with me
         Brother has Math on computer
11:45 Violin/Handwriting
12:00 Lunch/play time
1:00 Little man English with me
        Brother has English on computer
1:30 PE
2:00 Brother has Spanish on computer
2:30 (Tuesday's) Violin lessons

We follow this schedule Monday-Thursday with no school on Friday, unless they didn't finish something during the week.  Now on three Wednesday's a month, we have ELO (our Co-op).  The boys meet with their own grade from 8:30-12:30 and they have Science, PE, Art, Presidents, Geography, and Critical Thinking.  We also have field trips on some Fridays or various days during the month and we adjust our schedule accordingly.  However, this schedule looks great on paper but is not always followed to the "T"!  Some days we are done by lunch and somedays we may go until 3 or so.  Some days Mom may have various "discipline" on various children and may cause unnecessary delays in various assignments :) But all in all this pretty much wraps it up.

So there you have it!  A breakdown of our day.  Pretty simple.  I use the Well Planned Day planner to schedule out all assignments for the week and LOVE IT.  Watch for a follow up post to see which curriculum we use for each child and subject.
