Our first day back was a big success. The 10 year-old said his favorite subjects were "Latin and Beowulf" (history). I'm using a new scheduling strategy that I used with one of my high schoolers. Instead of using a daily schedule, I bought book bins for each subject, labeled the book bins and placed our schoolbooks for each subject in the book bins. Today, I just let him choose which book bin to work from first, which one to work from next, etc, and we worked through all of them.
The book bins look like this.
Here's what we accomplished today:
Bible
- The Action Bible
Math
- BJU Math 5
English
- Voyages in English 6
- Spelling Workout D
Reading
- Independent reading
- My Side of the Mountain (read-aloud)
Latin
- We started Minimus 1, which he really liked
Medieval History
- Story of the World 2
- Mapwork from the Activity Guide
- Stories of Beowulf Told to Children
Science
- Exploring Creation with Astronomy
This was a hugely productive day. Yay! Book Bins!
