Our curriculum is designed on a 4-day per week schedule. If you would prefer
to do science twice weekly, then simply complete the rst two days of scheduled
readings and assignments on your rst day, and the last two days of reading and
assignments on your second day. Alternatively, you may wish to do all of the read-
ing on the rst day and the assignments and experiments on the second day. The
key is to understand what works best for you and your children and to adjust the
schedule as necessary.
The daily time necessary to complete the assignments will vary with individual
student ability and will be based on the content being studied. We provide the fol-
lowing table as a guideline of the approximate time that you can expect to spend on
daily assignments:
