About Me
I'm a homeschooling mom to two kids, a servant to five felines, a seasoned yarn artist, and homebody with more books than I'll read in a lifetime.
I'm new to digiscrapping. Once upon a time, I made altered books and ATC cards.

This is a hybrid loop schedule for homeschooling. You can slip it in a sheet protector or laminate it for repeated use.
To use this, decide which subjects you want to do daily (we do math and language arts drills, reading, quote of the week, and brain breaks/yoga). Then, make a list of the other subjects that you and your learning partner will cover. Does your main curriculum cover or exclude anything? What subjects do you end up pushing aside for the "big subjects?" What subjects and activities do your learning partner find engaging? Make sure to add those in the list.
When you finish the daily tasks, take a break, then start on the next subject on the loop list. Go down the list for the remaining time (we stop at 1 pm at the latest), checking off subjects as you finish. Do this every school day, working your way down the list. When you get to the bottom of the list, start over at the top.
Our loop list, in order:
- Science
- Language
- Math
- Arts
- PE
- Board Games
- Myth and Legend
- Social Studies/History
- Passion Project
If on Monday we get Science and Language Arts done, the next day we start on Math. When we get to Passion Project, we start over at Science.
We use the subjects from our main curriculum, Torchlight (level 1), for the bulk of our loop. We made sure to add "passion project" to give my daughter designated time devoted to working on "side projects," like drawing comic books or writing plays. Board games, likewise, are an important part of our learning environment, but get skipped in favor of "work."
The beauty of loop scheduling is that you can personalize it to each learning partner and change it as needed. You can even have a morning loop and afternoon loop.
