Planning your week

Scheduling

There’s so much to do in any given week in a busy homeschooling family! We highly recommend that you take the time to write out individual schedules for each of your students. Though in many cases you will not stick to the schedule you write, drafting one gives you the confidence to feel that—barring unforeseen interruptions—you can fit it all in.

On the Loom we offer suggested schedules for families with multiple levels that are too detailed to print here, so be sure to access those as you get time.

Involving your kids

In the year-plan introduction, we strongly suggest that students be involved in planning their work week to week. We offer various blank charts on the Loom that help you do this. Plan to have a weekly meeting with your students at your kitchen table. Weekly, help them to understand what you have determined their week’s tasks-to-be and how to record them for themselves in the age-appropriate one-page chart. See more suggestions for this process in your year-plan introduction.

In our 3-week samples, Go to Egypt and Sail to the New World, we offer sample weekly lesson plans. In Tapestry, we do not break up assignments by day, as we trust you to know best what fits your family's schedule. However, if a little help to get started would come in handy, please feel free to take a look at these sample charts:
