Fran wants to be a bit more organised about her work now, which i think is probably a good idea. A couple of her friends are having a go at tick charts (if i know anything about HE, the tick charts have probably already gone by the by!) but we thought we’d also give it a go. It’s for her, not for me, so she can see what she’s doing through the week.
This is her list and the numbers are the number of times she is going to try to do the subjects, either because she already does roughly that or thinks it would be a good amount to aspire to. I talked her down where she was being over-ambitious!! I think, knowing how much more efficiently things get done at home if the child is motivated, this will more than equate to a school week and will probably get done in about a quarter of the time!
Anyway, we’ll see how it goes. She’s on her own with the German, as i don’t speak it, but it shows up on EC, so she can start off with that and see how she goes.
list looks a trifle scary to begin with, but when I looked more closely it only equates to about 5 subjects ( 😉 ) a day, which is only a couple more than we’re doing here.
That can take us the entire morning of course!
How rude of it! (To moderate you, i should have said; made the mistake of answering a fb comment on here!)
We probably already do this per week anyway but i thought this would give her more control. I won’t be beating her if she doesn’t!
I should have done a tick chart update when I blogged, lol. 4 weeks in and Ernest and Gwenny are still doing theirs, surprise, surprise 🙂 I will write something about that this evening.
Blimey, that’s a bit impressive! Will be intrigued to hear 🙂
sb still doing hers, has been quite a while now! she aims to do 20 things in a week, but hers does include fact dvd and box books, which she gets through v quickly!! [and some of the things are 15 minutes practice…] but she has 50 things to choose from on her list, and she ticks off what she fancies from it. i am allowed to suggest maths if it hasn’t happend for a while!
Well, clearly the only thing anyone should know about HE then is that if you expect something, the opposite will have occurred!
This seems a manageable list to me; they mostly do 15-25 mins of music practise and that happens most day and things like music theory, reading etc are mostly 20 minutes at most too. We didn’t include EC/BrainPop/TutPup as those fill in spaces or are ‘easy busy work’ rather than meaningful time i’ll try to be available for.
