Hello there fellow homeschooler's. The Summit Street Schoolhouse here. We have finally settled into a groove and thought we would share;
DAILY SCHEDULE FOR THE SUMMIT STREET SCHOOL HOUSE
OUR MONTESSORI/ STEM/ CLASSICAL/ MULTIAGE CLASSROOM
Brought to you one segment at a time I am very busy. That being said 85% of all our learning happens in this first segment of our day. EVERYONE knows this is when to NOT interrupt. lol
MON-FRI
Kids have had breakfast gotten dressed, brushed teeth before school starts, I have also gotten them each ice water and myself a coffee.
10:00 School Begins
*Movement/Dance (two songs; "Moving" song and "Days of the Week" song)
*Sign In - They each have their own mini clipboard, I tear a standard sheet of paper in half and clip on half on each board. Our preschooler writes her first name and our Kindergartner writes his first and last name. On top of the paper I neatly write; I am here today {sight word reading practice} with little boxes to check yes or no. I write the date in numbers and also write it on the board and talk about it it various ways. During this time I also draw a demo drawing on the board. An octopus, snowman, sun, spider web, anything simple. My husband drew a goal post.
*Sometimes I read a short story to clam kids if needed in here a few if necessary. There are some stories kids just cant refuse.
*Writing - For this we use Star Wars Phonics, Reading, and Writing workbooks for Kindergarten and Tracing workbooks or paint with paint circles workbooks for preschool and hand our stickers for completed pages, two pages for Kindergarten.
SNACK TIME -I hand out chips and fruity snacks. Kids can earn more by answering math questions with their first pack. Show me 2 X 3. Two groups of three. They ALWAYS earn for each other and are encouraged to express appreciation so one wins they both win. This goes for everything they do together.
At snack time we do lessons that require my reading and their answering questions.
Always begining with Bible. We have been using a reader from Christian Liberty Press
I have various used reading comprehension books I have collected and read and Q, Alphabet books, and other Non Fiction books we have in our classroom collection.
I will use this time to "teach" as much as I can while I have their focus, this includes quick sight word review, or refreshing something we may have already covered to make sure they fully comprehend the concept.
11:55 get kids ready for go time with daddys/ shoes correct gear for weather.
12:00 BIG BREAK/LUNCH see ya back at 1:30
