How We Schedule the Subjects

A couple of people have asked me how I schedule the daily work for each of the kids.  Here is an example of last week's for Mr R.  I have one for each of the 3 older kids and as they finish each subject,, they show me their work and I check it.  Once it is done, we check it off and away they go, on to their next subject.  We also have our schedule of what gets done when in our day - I will post that as well.  This is done in Word and is very simple to do.  We've used it since we first started homeschooling and it has worked GREAT!  


I just update it for each of the kiddos and tape/staple it into a "homework" book (an inexpensive composition book works well) and then we have a whole year's worth of our weeks - all in one book.  


When all of their subjects are completed, then I put a little sticker on that day to show that everything got done!  They love the stickers (except Mr R) and it helps me to keep track of what was finished and what still needs to be done when I go to make up the schedule for the next week.
