How to Create a Daily Homeschool Schedule
Is homeschool planning stressing you out? Create a daily homeschool schedule to keep your kids on track and on top of your homeschool day.
How to Create a Daily Homeschool Schedule

Do you have a daily schedule for your child or for yourself? This will help you keep your child on track and this will also help them see what is expected of them for the day.

If you’re not sure how to create a daily homeschool schedule, keep reading. For more scheduling help, get these homeschool schedule printables to make homeschool planning easy.

If you’ve been following along in 31-day series to a Better Homeschool Planning don’t forget to see my weekly and monthly schedules as well.

I like writing out my daily schedules because it gives me and my child an idea of his workload for the day. This also eliminates the need to answer the questions, what do I do now/next every 10 minutes from your child. While some may prefer to plan using specific times, this doesn’t work for me particularly for the younger ages.

Things do get out of whack and then it bothers me when I get off the schedule so I like to use a schedule that list subjects in the order they should be completed.

How to Create a Daily Homeschool Schedule

So for my first grader this year, this would be his schedule for Monday:

  • Music – 30 min
  • Reading – 30 min
  • Spelling – 10 min
  • Math – 20 min
  • Grammar – 10 min
  • Writing – 15 min
  • Science – 30 min

I didn’t write the time, but I wrote out the subjects and there was a checkbox that he used to mark what he had finished. He loves checking the boxes. I’d print the schedule out onto paper and place it in a sheet protector in his binder. I then write on his schedule with dry erase or wet erase marker. This was easy to wipe away and set up the next day.

Sometimes he’d like it when I put his schedule into our Crayola Dry Erase Board, he likes drawing on it.

If you have activities or plans for the day then a time schedule would be helpful for your child to keep them on track for the day and it also lets them plan ahead.

    I do this with my non-homeschool kids (for homework, chores, and routines like brushing teeth) and it works so well. I wonder when he will be old enough that adding times helps. I haven’t added times for my second grader, but I am considering it.

    This is awesome! I’m still on the fence about whether or not to homeschool. (My oldest is only 2, so I have some time to sort it out). I’ve pinned for reference.

    This is great! I do basically the same thing, but we use the Love My Schedule system. Itโ€™s a magnetic wet erase schedule that I keep on the fridge. That way I donโ€™t have to print out a new schedule when I want to change it. I also have the chore charts so I can check off their chores as they get done. Their website is LoveMySchedule.com if anyone wants to check it out ๐Ÿ™‚
