It takes about a month to get into a good “routine.”  A typical day is different for each family, but consistency is the most important.  Learning for an average on-level student should take anywhere from 4-6 hours.  Some students may take longer, some may finish sooner, but if a student is requiring 8 + hours- TALK TO YOUR TEACHER.  If a student is finishing in an hour or less, TALK TO YOUR TEACHER.  We want to teach students at their instructional level, so assignments may need to be modified for remediation or enrichment.  

• Each day should consist of play time and outside time if possible in between lessons.
• Some days will include a 30-45  minute online lesson with the teacher.
• Some days may be an in house day or club day. 
• Each day should begin and end with checking emails or announcements in Buzz for any school and/or teacher messages.
• Each day should end with reflection, reading teacher feedback, redoing any assignments, and making sure everything is turned in for the day.  
• Each morning should consist of breakfast and getting dressed for the day as well as goal setting; what needs to be accomplished that day?

You are the main facilitator of learning. The teachers are there for support, feedback, evaluation, collaboration, etc.
