We do not have a set timetable as to how our day goes but we get into a pattern, a routine.
Oak wakes between 7:30 and 7:45 and reads from one of his
current readers (history, science, or his choice) for about an hour.
Around 8:30 we both work on morning chores and prepare breakfast.
While we are doing this I have Oak narrate from his current science or history reader.
Around 9:30 until around 12:00/12:30 we/he works without break and with full focus.
Normally we start this time working on the things we do together and then reading
from our current read-alouds (this ends with narration and discussion).
I will then allow him to focus on is independent work.
We eat lunch around 12:30. I cook while Oak does his independent work. Lunch is our big meal for the day. After lunch he might read from a current reader or take a short free-time.
Around 1:30 Oak gets busy again and finishes any lessons that have not been completed. We may or may not read from the current read-alouds again.
The rest of the afternoon is spent enjoying swimming, fishing, playing sports, down time, reading, hanging with friends, taking walks, playing board games, playing Xbox, writing short stories, running errands, etc, etc.
Around 5:30 we both prepare a small dinner and usually watch something
we DVRed or talk about the day while we eat.
After dinner is spent with free-time, evening chores, and reading from the current read-alouds.
Around 9:30 Oak will spend an hour or two reading from his current reader in science or history.
(this is what he narrates from during the making of breakfast and morning chores)
Night Night!
(I am usually asleep before he is)
