What Is Our Day Like? Our Typical Homeschooling Day

When we tell individuals we homeschool, 1 of the very first questions I am asked is, “What is your day like?” The following is a typical day:

I get up early, about 7:00 or 7:30 to have some quiet time, read the newspaper, and have coffee. When Aaron gets up, about 7:45 or 8:00, we all have breakfast together, Mom, Dad, and Son.

The “school day” begins soon after we clean up the dishes and walk the dog. I do not seriously like to call it the “school day” given that it is actually a “life day”, how we spend our life.

We spend about 1 hour first issue performing Bible verse and Bible. Aaron reads the verse chosen for the day and reviews the verses from the previous days. He doesn’t have to say them word for word, paraphrasing is ok. Then we read from where ever we left off in the Bible. I am using the suggested weekly Bible reading schedule from What Your Child Needs to Know When by Robin Sampson. Then, he writes the Bible verse to practice his copywork. He then can draw a picture from the story, write something in his own words, or any other further suitable activity.

If we do absolutely nothing else all day, the Bible lesson is the most important. The lesson (cause planetary nebula) incorporates reading, listening, penmanship, spelling,

vocabulary, and at times even math. Did you know “a beka” is a unit of measure equal to .02 oz.?

Next, we practice our logic using Creating Thinking Abilities Student Edition Plus Instruction and Answer Guide – Level 3 Verbal – Two Book Set by Sandra Parks and Howard Black. This workbook is practice of crucial thinking skills for reading, writing, math, and science. I did have to obtain the Instruction and Answer Guide as nicely as the Student Guide. We often do 1 or two pages depending on the exercise.

Next comes reading. We chose the Original McGuffey’s Eclectic School Series. Based on Aaron’s reading level, we chose The Original McGuffey’s Eclectic Third Reader (Eclectic school series.) It is excellent. In one more post, I’ll go into detail about why it is so wonderful. Reading is once more an additional hour.

Of course we can take a snack break in between.

Math is next. We are making use of the Saxon Math 7/6: Homeschool Edition. Once again, even more detail will follow about the Saxon Math series. We use the direction in the student guide and I also incorporate flash cards, addition, multiplication, (cause planets revolve around sun) subtraction, and division, also, time and money, into the warm up. We go through the new material together, then I

fix lunch while Aaron works on the Lesson Practice. We have lunch and then he can finish his work on his own, with a little aid when he wants it.

Immediately after lunch it is time for a walk to clear our heads and then finishing up any extra projects such as history reading, or timeline, or totally free reading. We are typically finished by 2:00 or 2:30.

I will go into detail about the math, reading, spelling, logic, and history lessons later. Also, physical activities and field trips are included in the strategy.

We have good days working and playing together.

When we tell men and women we homeschool, one of the initial questions I am asked is, “What is your day like?” The following is a typical day:
