Day 2

We are going slowly this first week in order to introduce the different subjects.

To do today

English Studies: Composition Lesson 1
Science: Introduction to Natural History and Biology
Latin Studies: Introduction to the Latin Course.

By the way, our state requires 180 days of attendance. Most of the subjects won't have 180 days' worth of lessons. I'm going to follow the charter school's example and have some optional/review days built in.

If you look at the bottom of this page you will see a planned schedule and also a list of subjects.

Planned Number of Lessons in Each Subject
(this is an estimate right now -- it may change)

  • Catholic Studies -- 150
  • Geometry -- 150
  • English Studies -- 300 (90 for Literature, 90 for Composition, 40 for Vocabulary, 70 for Grammar)
  • Ancient History -- 150
  • Science -- 120, with 30 extra hours for videos or lab/field projects
  • Latin Studies -- 150
  • Study Helps ~ 100 (with elective credit)
  • PE -- 100 minutes a week (we'll keep a log)
  • Reading -- We will keep a log -- reading done in "subject" areas goes into credit for that subject.

The Study Helps page is for working on review or test practice or developing high-school-level skills. I'll put things there as they are needed.
