The One-Subject-a-Day-Plus Schedule The "plus" is commonly math practice, memory work practice, and/or language arts, so they'll spend time every homeschooling day doing those added ("plus") things, followed by one other subject. For example, on Mondays they might do math and spelling, followed by science.

Shelving or assigning dedicated cubby storage for each child is really nice if you've got a separate room for homeschooling or if your resources allow. Otherwise, labeled or color-assigned boxes or bins are a great way to store your children's homeschool curricula for limited spaces.

With a weekly block schedule, you might do 20 to 30 minutes of daily learning to start your day (like journal writing, reading, and math practice), but then focus only on one or two subjects for the rest of your homeschooling time. For example, Mondays might be for science and Wednesdays for language arts.
