When they finish a subject, they can go on to another without necessarily needing my input (this helps because otherwise they may have to wait until I'm finished doing something with one of their siblings).
It is also helpful for me to be able to quickly glance at their chart and know whether or not they've finished the day's work, and what is ready to be graded.
Here are the charts for this week (some of Publisher's formatting is still visible since I did a screen capture):
~Chloe's
~Kievan's
Many of the 'Morning Assignments' are actually done together as a family.
We start off the morning with our Moolah chart and songs (which I started about two months ago in an effort to help Ben's speech). We then study the verse together.
Because Allister is studying the human body, for some weeks now all of the children have been working on coloring/cutting/putting together activities from Easy Make & Learn Projects: Human Body (good review for the older children- and it's fun) while I read aloud the chapter from the St Paul book by Windeatt .
After this, the younger two are started on something and Chloe and Kievan start on their catechism studies. Some days they have independent work, on other days I go over the concepts with them.
After our break, I teach writing (classroom style) to Chloe and Kievan. They then work on this assignment independently.
After lunch, and after I put Anna Claire down for her nap, we do a similar "combined" school for some afternoon classes including poetry, current events, and reports given by children.
