What Does Your Schedule for The Week Look Like?

I have books all lined up in neat stacks on the table in our school room, and I'm at the point of being ready to plan out our general school plan for next year.

It sounds like I'm all ready, doesn't it? So, what's the problem?

Well, I have had those books sitting nicely like that for about a week. I keep thinking about it off and on, but haven't really started working on it yet. I think that I'm so concerned about making sure that next school is more organized than last school year (our first of homeschooling) that I am making myself a little more nervous than I should be.

I decided that one thing that I think will be key for next year will be to have a general schedule to follow. Sorry if this seems like an elementary kind of point, but I just didn't really think about doing it last year. And, by the time I did think of doing it, it almost seemed like it was too late, and so I just muddled through, deciding each week what we were going to do, when we might do it, and how often we were going to get to it.

This year, I have resolved to come up with a plan. Unfortunately, I do not have that plan right at this moment. But, I am praying that by the end of this week, I will have said plan.

I was inspired reading through this sample of suggested amounts to do each subject throughout a week. I would love to be inspired by you too! (And I promise to come back when I have a plan and share it with everyone too.)

This week, I challenge you to either comment here or post on your own blog (and then come back and leave us the link) to your general week plan. C'mon...you know you want to do it! It'll give you something to write about, and it just might inspire someone else!

I thought I would add in links to this post of people who share their schedule as well (at least for the next week or so):

Beth from Apples and Jammies (overview of how often they are doing each subject throughout the school year)

Karin from Passport Academy (overview of weekly schedule for the year, includes graphic of schedule)

Marci at Homeschooling - A Life (overview, with explanations, of what they plan for next year's weekly schedule)

Second Star to the Right at Straight On Till Morning (listing of what pieces of curriculum they will be using, as well as a weekly schedule)

Thanks to everyone who has shared/will share!
