Leo's Homeschool Schedule
Tuesday, October 27, 2026
🌅 Morning Routine
Eat breakfast in the kitchen or on the deck before classes. Nana is Leo’s at-home adult while Kyle travels; check in with her about the day.
- Clean clothes; brush teeth and hair; make bed.
- Charge iPad and learning devices; check notebook and pencils.
✏️ Thursday Math Practice
On paper, redo one fraction-times-fraction example from Monday and draw two models of dividing unit fractions or whole numbers. Show every step and keep the page for Thursday; do this today, not Wednesday.
🧩 Thursday Blender Practice
Open your saved Blender project; spend about 20 minutes improving one shape or tool skill, then save a new version for Thursday.
🧪 Gather science class materials
With Nana’s help if needed, set out 2 teaspoons of sugar, a hand lens, a clear plastic cup, ½ cup of warm water, and 2 plastic spoons. Keep the warm water safe and ready near class time; bring your science notebook and pencil.
💻 Science Class Prep
Open the classroom, set a 2-minute alarm, and set out materials. Login/setup only, not homework.
💻 Outschool: Science Course 5: 5th Grade Science Course (Full Curriculum, NGSS) (7 of 36)
“Too Small To Be Seen” today. Bring your science notebook and pencil plus the materials Ms. Lindsay posted Oct 25 for the dissolving-sugar activity: 2 teaspoons sugar, a hand lens, a clear plastic cup, ½ cup warm water, and 2 plastic spoons.
🌿 Ecosystem Review
After science class, name one producer, consumer, and decomposer from the ecosystem you built last week; compare them with today’s lesson. This is review, not new homework.
💻 Philosophy Class Prep
Open the classroom, set a 2-minute alarm, and set out materials. Login/setup only, not homework.
💻 Outschool: Philosophy and Critical Thinking: Ongoing Weekly (8-12 Pre-Teens)
Listen, ask questions, and discuss ideas kindly.
🥪 Lunch
Make a sandwich, quesadilla, or leftovers; eat in the kitchen or on the deck.
📚 Reading Time
Read Charlotte’s Web Chapter 10 for 25 minutes. Name a favorite moment and find one sentence that supports your answer; then continue your current book. This is gentle practice for Thursday’s text-evidence lesson.
📜 US History — Born on the Water Assignment
Required carry-forward from the Oct 12 lesson: watch the teacher’s read-aloud, use the digital Google Slides copy to answer the questions, and save your work. Ask an adult about submission if needed; this is real assignment time, not class-login prep.
💻 Outschool: Anime and Manga Fan Club!
Fan-club discussion; bring a manga/anime idea if you like, but no homework was posted.
🚶 Neighborhood walk with Nana, if available
If Nana is available, walk the Woolsey–College loop together. This 45-minute gap before D&D is too short for a Safeway trip plus shopping. Return by 3:20 PM. If Nana cannot go, stay home for active indoor play or reading.
- Go with Nana; agree on the route and return time.
- If Nana cannot go, do not take a solo walk; choose the at-home fallback.
💻 D&D Class Prep
Open the classroom, set a 2-minute alarm, and set out materials. Login/setup only, not homework.
💻 Outschool: Dungeons and Dragons: Ongoing Campaign for Experienced Players (Ages 11-13)
Bring your character notes and dice.
⌨️ Typing Practice
Practice accuracy for 10 minutes, not speed alone.
🧹 End-of-Day Cleanup
Put away books, art supplies, toys, and your workspace. No screen time during the reset.
