Leo's Homeschool Schedule

🌅 Morning Routine

Have your science notebook and pencil ready. Today’s science supply note asks for a magnet and a few household objects; gather them during the preparation block below. No morning shower.

1. Eat breakfast at the kitchen table, get dressed in clean clothes, brush teeth and hair, and make your bed.
2. Charge your iPad and computer, and put a notebook and pencil nearby. You are finished when you have eaten and are ready to learn.

🎒 Pack for the office — leave at 9 AM

Today you are going with Dad to 449 Bryant Street, San Francisco. Leave home at 9:00 AM. Pack all class materials now.

1. Pack your laptop, charger, headphones with microphone, and charged iPad if needed; bring your water bottle and a snack. Pack your current reading book, Charlotte’s Web, English notes, sketchbook, pencils, and your saved Blender project on your usual computer.
2. Science: gather your science notebook, pencil, household magnet, and ordinary small objects for science at the office at 10:00. Philosophy: pack your notebook and pencil. D&D: pack your existing character sheet/notes, dice, and notebook, or a note asking Mikey for a premade level-8 character. No purchases or new accounts.
3. Put your packed laptop, charger, headphones, books, notebooks, water, snack, and class supplies by the door. Be ready to leave with Dad at 9:00 AM.

🧲 Gather science supplies

Required supplies from Ms. Lindsay’s November 9 note. No new required handout was posted.

1. Gather a household magnet and a few small, ordinary objects such as a paperclip, pen, coin, and crayon. Pack them with your science notebook and pencil for the office. Use a normal household magnet, not loose powerful magnets; keep small objects away from younger children.
2. If you cannot find a magnet, leave a note in your notebook, and plan to watch the teacher’s demonstration rather than improvise. Do not use heat, electricity, chemicals, or taste tests on your own.
3. You are finished when supplies or your missing-magnet note are packed. Leave with Dad at 9:00 AM; do not start another home task.

🚗 Drive to the office with Dad

Leave home at 9:00 AM for 449 Bryant Street. Dad estimates this morning drive takes one hour, so plan to arrive around 10:00. Class-device setup happens after arrival, not during the drive.

1. Leave with Dad at 9:00 AM with all class supplies packed. Stay with him during travel and arrival.
2. Arrive around 10:00 AM, then set up your laptop, permitted Wi-Fi, headphones, notebook, and science supplies promptly. Join science as soon as you are ready; the class starts at 10:00 and ends at 10:40.
3. If arrival or setup is delayed, join the remaining science minutes. No car Zoom or hotspot is assumed.

💻 Science prep

Set up promptly after arrival at the office, planned around 10:00. The displayed 9:55 reminder is a readiness cue if already there, not a demand to use your device in the car.

1. Put the magnet, household objects, science notebook, and pencil at your workspace. The balloon and bottle note was for November 3, not today.
2. Open the learner classroom link in the class below. Set a reminder for two minutes before class. These five minutes are for setup, not homework.

💻 Outschool: Science Course 5: 5th Grade Science Course (Full Curriculum, NGSS) (9 of 36)

Material Properties: clues about objects, conductivity, magnets, and dissolving. Bring a magnet, a few household objects (for example, a paperclip, pen, coin, and crayon), your science notebook, and a pencil. Follow Ms. Lindsay’s instructions; watch rather than improvise missing supplies. Planned location: office. The 9:00 AM drive may delay arrival; join only after safely settled with working Wi-Fi, before the 10:40 end. No car connectivity is assumed.

1. Click “Science learner classroom” for your Leo classroom. Use that learner link rather than the calendar’s parent-page button.
2. If you are at the office and ready by 10:00, join on time. If you arrive later but before 10:40, join the remaining minutes. If travel/access prevents joining, leave attendance unconfirmed and read your book after arrival; no replacement experiment is assigned.

🥤 Office break & philosophy setup

1. If already at the office, put away science supplies, get water, and use the bathroom.
2. If you are still traveling, stay with Dad. After arrival, set up your class device and headphones; join philosophy at 11:00 if ready.

💻 Outschool: Philosophy and Critical Thinking: Ongoing Weekly (8-12 Pre-Teens)

Attend at the office, 11:00–11:50 AM. Booking is unchanged. If traffic or setup runs late, join the remaining time only after safely settled; no car connectivity is assumed.

1. At the office, click “Philosophy learner classroom” and join at 11:00. Listen, take turns, and use your notebook.
2. If arrival/setup is late, join before 11:50 if possible; otherwise leave attendance unconfirmed. Do not ask Dad to use a screen while driving.

🥙 Walk with Dad to Boochmania & lunch

Leave the office with Dad at noon to pick up lunch at Boochmania, 685 Harrison Street, San Francisco, then return to the office to eat. Posted Tuesday hours are 8 AM–3 PM. This hour includes walking, pickup, and eating; it is not a verified walk-time or queue estimate.

1. At noon, put on your shoes and bring your water. Leave 449 Bryant Street with Dad; stay together on the walk to Boochmania. Dad handles navigation, the order, and payment.
2. Pick up lunch with Dad, then walk back to the office together. Eat at the office eating area, refill water, and clear your packaging.
3. Aim to finish lunch by 1:00 PM. If pickup takes longer, finish eating before other optional activities; keep the 1:50 packing reminder and 2:00 departure target. Do not go out alone in San Francisco.

⌨️ Ten-minute typing practice

1. Open a blank document in your usual writing app. Put a book beside the keyboard, and set a ten-minute timer.
2. Copy a short paragraph carefully, using both hands. Fix typing mistakes, then close the document when the timer rings. No sharing or submission is needed. If your app will not open, use the computer’s normal text editor instead.

🧩 Thursday preparation — English & Blender

Short optional review at the office after lunch. Keep preparation on Tuesday, not Wednesday; no new submission is required. Lunch or travel delays may shorten this optional block.

1. Spend ten minutes with your English notes and Charlotte’s Web: recall chapters 11–12 and one perfect-tense example. Mark a question if you cannot remember.
2. Spend ten minutes in your existing Blender project, reviewing one dimension or snapping adjustment you learned. Save safely; do not send anything to the 3D printer. If you cannot open the project, sketch the change instead.
3. Stop at 1:30 PM for D&D character preparation. If lunch runs late, shorten this optional review rather than rush eating or delay leaving.

🐉 Prepare for Mikey’s D&D one-shot

The Sanity Sunderer is a one-session adventure with level-8 characters. Character access through D&D Beyond is still sign-in-gated and has not been verified; no account creation or purchase is needed from you. Work at the office; keep your existing character materials nearby.

1. Click “D&D learner classroom” in the last class block. Find Mikey Rainey’s November 7 post, “Hi I’m your Sub!” Read the setup for The Sanity Sunderer.
2. The teacher offers a premade character or your own level-8 character. If you already have a suitable character, review it; the post permits any ability-score method, equipment you are proficient with, and two uncommon magic items. Making a new character is optional, not required homework.
3. The post’s D&D Beyond link currently reaches a sign-in page. Do not create an account, buy anything, or guess login details. If your normal authorized access works, use the teacher’s instructions; later character-selection screens were not verified. If it does not, put a note with your dice saying “I need a premade level-8 character,” and tell Mikey when the live class starts. An adult may help with an existing account only if needed.
4. Finish by 1:50 with your character materials or premade-character note ready. If the website fails, reread your existing character notes, then read your packed book; do not skip the live class.

🎒 Pack up — leave the office with Dad

1. Save your work, close your laptop, and pack your charger, headphones, book, notebook, dice, and character materials. Leave the desk tidy.
2. Be ready to leave with Dad at 2:00 PM. Dad may leave closer to 2:30; stay with him and keep your bag ready.

🚗 Travel home with Dad

Aim to leave at 2:00 PM. Dad estimates the drive home takes under 30 minutes at that hour; this block reserves 30 minutes, not the earlier 80-minute allowance. If Dad leaves closer to 2:30, shift the return accordingly.

1. Go home with Dad. Keep your class materials packed during the drive.
2. After arrival, unpack and relax at home. Your next class is D&D at 3:30 PM.

😌 Chill at home

Relax after the drive. No extra practice or homework is assigned in this gap. If Dad leaves the office later, begin this break after you arrive home.

🏠 Settle in at home

1. Unpack your laptop, charger, headphones, dice, and character materials at your usual class space.
2. Get water and use the bathroom before D&D.

💻 D&D prep

Set up at home, not the office. If you are still traveling, do these steps as soon as you arrive.

1. Have your character materials or premade-character note, notebook, and dice if you use them ready. Today is Mikey’s level-8 one-shot; see the 1:30 preparation block.
2. Open the learner classroom link in the class below. Set a reminder for two minutes before class. These five minutes are for setup, not homework.

💻 Outschool: Dungeons and Dragons: Ongoing Campaign for Experienced Players (Ages 11-13)

Today is The Sanity Sunderer, a level-8 one-shot with GM Mikey. Character/premade access is pending behind D&D Beyond sign-in; if needed, tell Mikey you need a premade when class starts. Shayne’s ongoing campaign returns November 17. Your school day ends at 5:00 PM, with nothing scheduled afterward. Attend from home after returning with Dad; if traffic delays arrival, join as soon as you are set up.

1. Click “D&D learner classroom” for your Leo classroom. Use that learner link rather than the calendar’s parent-page button.
2. Check the class title and start time. At the scheduled start, click “Join Live Meeting”; if the page fails, reopen Outschool in your usual learner app and select this exact class. If access still fails, read your book, and leave attendance unconfirmed.

🍽️ Dinner & Wildwood with Dad

After Dungeons & Dragons ends at 5:00 PM, leave with Dad for dinner and to see Wildwood. Dad has the evening details; no more schoolwork is scheduled.

1. When D&D finishes, save your character notes, close your laptop, and put your dice and notebook away.
2. Get your shoes and jacket, and be ready to leave with Dad for dinner and Wildwood. Stay with Dad for the outing.
