Leo's Homeschool Schedule

🌅 Morning Routine

Breakfast, clean clothes, brush teeth and hair, make bed. Charge iPad and learning devices; check notebook and pencils. No morning shower.

1. Eat breakfast in the kitchen or on the deck, get dressed, brush your teeth and hair, and make your bed.
2. Charge your learning device, and put your notebook and pencils nearby. Be ready by 8:45. No morning shower.

📖 History — Tensions Grow (due November 8)

Finish the required chart about why the colonies and Great Britain grew angry with each other. Completion is not yet verified. Use the existing printed worksheet; do not print another copy.

1. Click “History assignments — Tensions Grow.” Your Leo history Assignments page opens. Scroll to Lesson 8, “Tensions Grow Assignment,” due Sunday, November 8. This is a chart, not an essay.
2. Use your existing two-page “Tensions Grow Assignment” printout and a pencil. If the printout is missing, click “Tensions Grow Assignment.pdf” in that assignment to read it on screen; write your chart on notebook paper instead of printing again.
3. For each of the seven events, explain why it caused tension, and draw a small image: French and Indian War, Proclamation of 1763, Quartering Act, Stamp Act, Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and Intolerable Acts. Use your November 2 class notes to help.
4. You are finished when all seven rows have an explanation and a drawing. The teacher asks for a clear photo of paper work uploaded under this same assignment. Use the attachment menu beside its response box, then “Submit Assignment” when your own work is ready; if taking/uploading a photo needs adult help, keep the paper together and leave submission pending.
5. If already completed and submitted, read your current book instead. If you cannot open the assignment, use your paper and notes; if those are also missing, read your book and leave this task unfinished. Stop at 9:20; bookmark any remaining rows so they can be finished before Sunday.
