We have created and shared sample student schedules. So, how about sample parent schedules?
What is your "day in the life" so far?
Here is my imagination of a parent-teacher schedule -- a parent who is also a teacher:
...which inspired this Walgrove parent to share with me her actual schedule:
Our "Day in the Life" is starting to look at follows...
Sunday afternoon. I prep a schedule for both boys that includes all of their scheduled Zoom calls as well as a list of academic "goals" for each day of the week. For example: Connor's today had and 11:30 Zoom story time and 1:00 Zoom with Ms. Francesca. His goals includes Math Book pages 311-316, sight word practice reading and writing, eight words a day three times, read a decodable book out load to Mom or Dad and ELA workbook pages 38-39...
Jack's had 9:00 Zoom ELA, 10:30 Zoom math and goals were label US state map with names of states and capitals (a project we're working on) and picking a state to start researching online; math book pages 669-670, free write for 20 minutes. I don't care what order they do these daily goals in so long as they're checked off by the end of the day.
Mom School is hard they tell me!
A typical day for us seems to be going as follows:
6:30-8:00: Wake up/read/eat breakfast
8:15-10:00: Work/school time: Mom sits at dining room table, Connor at a small desk in dining room and Jack at a desk in back room; boys either on Zooms or doing independent work on their daily goals
10:00 -10:30: Snack time/recess time: boys can bounce on trampoline outside or ride bikes around the block
10:30-12:00: Work/school time: continue work on zooms/daily goals
12:00-1:00: Lunch time
1:00-2:00: Quiet time/free play time - Legos, puzzles, reading, outside play
2:00-3:00: Art time - I've been trying to do different art projects with them daily and they are loving oil paints - we all sit at the table and create and listen to music while I try to work
3:00-4:00: More free play time/iPad time allowed (if daily goals have been met)
4:00: walk the dog/bike ride with dad/family
5:00: Dinner prep
6:30: Game or out loud reading with Mom or Dad (we're re-reading the Fudge series right now for some laughs)
7:30/8:00: Bedtime - I'm a stickler for this one!!!
8:00: "Milk" and Tiger King!!! or Schitt's Creek, which I was so sad just ended
