Our Schedule lends us:

80 days/ 16 weeks "Vacation"

200 days / 40 weeks "School"

As we wrap up our 2009-2010 year of homeschooling, I am very pleased with "schooling" year round. We used a similar schedule this year, and will continue it as long as it "works" for our family. This schedule is of course flexible enough to change. It allows for time off for Biblical Holidays, sick days, or just because days... Light weeks are considered our "winter and pre-summer" breaks, with more "fun" learning and less "seat" work. I have found it is less stressful for myself and the children. And I am hoping to cut out all the review of the previous year because of a LONG summer break. We believe in an atmosphere of learning for LIFE, and not for "school", so our learning continues whether it is "on the books" or not =o) We are finishing up year 3 of our homes-cool experience. What have you found that works for you? Link up and share, all things related to your Homes-Cool (scheduling, subjects, styles, etc...)
