I see that her new schedule for the 2nd edition is different and much longer. I suggest making a pocket on the inside front cover of the notebook by stapling a half sheet of thick paper such as manila folder material. Print the schedule front and back so less paper is used, staple it together in order, fold and place it in the pocket for reference.lindafayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10593813942424765333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-27916932765975049542009-05-14T15:06:00.000-05:002009-05-14T15:06:00.000-05:00Lindafay,Thank you for this post.

One question though: You said: "...print out the year's schedule divided by days found at Donna Young's website and staple this to the inside front cover of the notebook."<br><br>I looked on Donna Young's site & found this: http://www.donnayoung.org/apologia/pages/general-schedule2.htm But that's 20 pages. I don't see how I can staple 20 pages to the inside of a notebook. How did you do it? <br><br>Thanks in advance for any help.

Why does AO endorse a textbook such as Apologia? At what point does the use of a standard textbook become okay according to Charlotte Mason? I have not read all of her books, but thus far, I have not found the answer to my question. BTW, I enjoy your blog as a source of inspiration. Sometimes, I find it overwhelming to not fall back on the old textbooks especially when HSing 5 separate ages.<br><br>AliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-38960558437592040452007-07-31T18:21:00.000-05:002007-07-31T18:21:00.000-05:00My kids are much younger but I love reading any so...My kids are much younger but I love reading any sort of organizational tips to see what we might be able to adapt for our use.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11953289304417871977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-70469757429226346082007-07-31T16:03:00.000-05:002007-07-31T16:03:00.000-05:00This was so helpful.

On the days she left it blank we went to the next day and continued. We were able to finish all in 36wks, 4 days per wk. <br><br>For Phys. Sci, Donna schedules two days each module for the study guide(generally), but my daughter only took one day per week to do it. She still has a couple modules to go on her schedule, but we will just finish it at the beginning of her Biology year before moving on. So I'd say it took her 40 weeks to do that year. She also told me that, because of the math, it took her about 45 minutes a day to do the Physical Science year.lindafayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10593813942424765333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-6078024372704756952007-07-31T11:54:00.000-05:002007-07-31T11:54:00.000-05:00We don't use Apologia, but for science we do s...We don't use Apologia, but for science we do something similar- but I'm so lazy that I buy the already-divided 5-subject notebooks ;-)coffeemammahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11804187391150113879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-14678768813592229902007-07-31T10:55:00.000-05:002007-07-31T10:55:00.000-05:00Thank you for this helpful post Linda!

I have recently begun looking at Donna Young's website & have found many helpful forms. Question, though, her Apolgia schedule is divided into 5 days, do you alter her schedule to make it 4 days or do you simply have your children work through her schedule, as is, only working 4 days a week? With doing that, how would you still finish in a 36 week period?<br>Blessings, K.K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28260135.post-19724432331880597582007-07-31T10:27:00.000-05:002007-07-31T10:27:00.000-05:00Perfect timing!
