<\/a>
\nWelcome to Day 5 of the How Do I Teach After School! Today I’m going to cover Scheduling the Year. Be sure and read over Day 1: What to Teach<\/a>, Day 2: School Set Up <\/a> & Day 3: Finding Materials<\/a> and Day 4: Setting a Routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/div>\n

For the last post I want to talk about Scheduling the Year. I will break this down to Weekly and Yearly. This is all tentative and can change a lot. When doing after school learning you learn to be flexible. <\/p>\n

Something to keep in mind is you don’t have to 100% repeat school in your planning. If you want to learn something that they are not in school go for it! We are doing some history that they are not covering in school but is local history to us. Never miss a chance to learn something at a place you can visit.<\/p>\n

Our Weekly Schedule<\/h2>\n

This is a sample schedule that I used last year. It was changed around a lot but we went with the time we had and what we were doing. I try to have it be around 45 minutes to an hour. Remember that this is not a repeat of school but fun learning activities that can be done at home to add on to what they are learning! Every activity should be as fun and as much learning as possible. <\/p>\n

For each week I use Homeschool Creations Homeschool Planner<\/a>. I like that I can use it year after year and it is easy to edit. I don’t have to print it either. So I can look back and change it as I need to.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong>: Work Books or Printable (3 or 4 pages), Craft and Fine Motor
\nTuesday:<\/strong> Flash Cards and Gymnastics
\nWednesday:<\/strong> Gross Motor and Reading activity
\nThursday:<\/strong> Printable (3 or 4 pages), Fine Motor and Arts & Crats
\nFriday<\/strong>: Gross motor and Art & Crafts
\nSaturday:<\/strong> Gross Motor, Arts & Crafts, and Printable or Workbook (3 or 4 pages).<\/p>\n

I will start with the same weekly schedule at the start of the year and change it as needed for homework and activities out of the house. Just remember you are not planning a whole day just 1 hour at most to add on to their day.<\/p>\n

Our Yearly Schedule<\/h2>\n

When I do our yearly schedule I do themes we will cover that month. It gives me time to work on any extra things I want to find or make for that time. I’ll give you a rundown of the themes I have looked at for the year. Some of these will be changing around.<\/p>\n

The schedule below is 100% flexible and if there is a change it often happens fast but I try and make sure that I cover a few things that stick so I can plan them. This will cover just our themes for the school year. We will do the activities mention in the weekly schedule in these themes.<\/p>\n
