The Preschool Homeschool

I’m always interested in how other people manage their homeschooling days, so I thought I’d share ours. We don’t have a set schedule, but we do have a typical day.

7:30-8:30 - Wake up and get the kids breakfast and get Gavin to school before 8:30.

8:30-10:00 - I eat breakfast and handle some of my freelancing work while Avlyn watches two of her favorite shows - The Imagination Movers and Charlie and Lola.

10:00-12:00 - I print out any activities for the day, we get washed up and dressed, and then we work on our projects. Sometimes we do alphabet crafts, cooking projects, go for a walk and observe nature, practice writing, and study our weekly Bible verse.

12:00 - 12:30 - We have some lunch and wait for daddy to come home for his lunch.

12:30-2:00 - Depending on the day, we sometimes have gymnastics. This is basically the time we do any errands or clean up for the day.

2:00-4:00 - Avlyn might nap for an hour or so in the late afternoon, but we leave by 3:30 to pick up her brother at school. We get home by 4:00.

4:00 - on… - Start dinner, help with homework, play outside, get ready for bed.

9:00-11:00 - I work on any freelance projects I didn’t get finished in the morning.

Our schedule varies when we have playgroup days and field trips. We belong to a mommy -n- me group that plans lots of social activities. For example, this Thursday we will leave right after dropping her brother off at school for a field trip to a pumpkin farm in Arkansas. That will take up our whole day, but she’ll learn plenty. I also host a cooking club once a month for her and her friends called Little Chefs. That takes up most of our later morning and early afternoon one Friday a month. So our schedule is dependent upon what fun, educational activities we have planned, but for the most part our day is like the one outlined above.
