Anne Sanborn January 27, 2020 Family Schedule
Since you will be homeschooling your child, careful thought needs to be given not only to your home school schedule, but your family schedule will need to be integrated into the mix as well. Also make sure that your lesson plan coincides well with your educational calendar. After taking a high level look at your home school calendar integrated with your family calendar, you may decide that the traditional school year calendar of end of summer through early spring may not be the most advantageous.
We can get the next day clothes ready the night before. This will give us a chance to check to see if it is right. If something needs to be done to it, we will have time to do it. Last minute details can ruin our day. We can rise up an hour earlier to meet our family need before heading off to work. We can do things like ironing their clothes or washing a load of clothes. We can take meat out of the freezer and place it in the refrigerator to thaw out if we know what we want to cook for dinner. We can do some house cleaning and prepare a chore list for the Children. A lot can be done in an hour. If we do some of those things, we will be more productive at work because we will not be thinking about the things that we need to do at home.
Do not over schedule. Your child`s school day is busy enough. Set clear guidelines for how many extracurricular activities they can participate in and stick to them. Do not let children organize play dates as you are picking them up from school. This is the quickest way to burn them out. They may seem full of energy coming off of their busy day, but they will melt down quickly if they do not have any downtime at the end of their day.
This is an age-old hassle jogging work schedule and family schedule but there are a few things we can do to avoid this rush. It could also reduce stress in us. We know that it is the Parents responsibility to raise the Children and provide for them and in most cases that means we would have to work but working outside the home and raising the Children are a full time job in both cases. So what can we do to manage our schedule between the two? One thing we can do is to prioritizes, do the things that are most important first. It may not be what we want to do but it is important to do those things that are needed.
Also the homeschool day does not necessarily need to start say at 8am. There is no stringent time schedule that you must adhere to as is the case in public schools. As with your home school lesson planning, your scheduling should take into careful consideration your childs learning style and determine what will work best. As a homeschooling family, you have the option of planning trips at other times of the year when for example, air fare is cheaper and the lines are shorter! If vacations are not a part of your plans, there are probably other reasons (such as birthdays) for tailor making your own home school calendar.
Our family might need our attention doing our work schedule like Doctor Visits or business affairs. In instances like this, we should request time off in advance and make sure our work is caught up so we will not be behind when we return to work. Children have after hour school activities and it is important that we attend as many of them as we can. We should ask them about their activities everyday so nothing will come upon us suddenly, that way we might be able to leave work a little early by asking someone to cover for us. They will be more willing to help us out if they know about it in advance.
