Leo's Homeschool Schedule

🌅 Morning Routine

Early math today: breakfast first, clean clothes, teeth and hair brushed, bed made, and learning devices charged. No morning shower.

1. Eat breakfast at the kitchen table, get dressed, brush teeth and hair, and make your bed.
2. Put a charged device, notebook, and pencil by the computer. Finish by 7:50.

🍎 Snack & stretch

Get water and a snack in the kitchen, and stretch.

📺 Documentary Lesson — Cosmos

Watch in Infuse on the Apple TV. Cosmos S01E01 “Standing Up in the Milky Way” (46m), then S01E02 “Some of the Things that Molecules Do” (45m), with five minutes between. Explore our cosmic address and how living things are related; no writing assignment.

1. In the TV room, open Infuse on the Apple TV. Find Cosmos, season 1, episode 1, “Standing Up in the Milky Way” (46 minutes), and watch it.
2. Take a five-minute stretch, then watch season 1, episode 2, “Some of the Things that Molecules Do” (45 minutes). Stop after these two episodes, at 10:31.
3. If either episode is missing in Infuse, read your current book for the remaining time. Do not purchase, download, or start a different show.

⌨️ Ten-minute typing

Keyboard practice, not a writing assignment.

1. Open a blank document in an app you already use. Type the alphabet, then copy a few sentences from your current book, slowly and accurately. Do not submit or share the document.
2. Stop after ten minutes. If the app will not open, practice finding letter keys on the keyboard without pressing shortcuts, then read your book.

🥤 Break

Water, bathroom, and a screen break. Put your ELA notebook and pencil on your desk. Optional two-minute recap of Monday’s grammar: say one thing you remember about perfect tenses (verb forms using have, has, or had). If you do not remember, leave the question for class; this is not homework.

🍳 Cook & eat lunch together — Dad & Leo

Cook lunch together with Dad and eat it together at the kitchen table or on the deck, not with TV. Pick something quick to cook together — sandwiches, quesadillas, or pasta — so there is time to eat before piano at 12:30. Put dishes away afterward.

1. Cook lunch together with Dad — he is free after his 11:45 call, and this is your lunch time together.
2. Eat together at the kitchen table or on the deck, not with TV.
3. Put your dishes away afterward, and be ready for piano practice at 12:30.

🎹 Piano practice

Play a familiar passage from your current lesson book slowly; this is practice after Monday’s lesson, not a new teacher-specified assignment.

1. Find a passage you worked on with your piano teacher. Try each hand slowly, then together if comfortable.
2. Stop at 12:50. If there is no marked passage, repeat a familiar tune; if the keyboard is unavailable, read your current book.

🍎 Snack & library check-in

Eat a snack and check that an adult can accompany the library walk and return by 4:35. No Thursday solo outing.

📚 Library Trip — Claremont Branch

With an available adult: home → Claremont Branch, 2940 Benvenue Ave. Choose a book for 15 minutes, then sit and read for a full hour. Return by 4:35 PM. Official Thursday hours rechecked: noon–8 PM. Weather could not be verified tonight; check conditions with your accompanying adult before leaving.

1. Go only with an available adult. Tell them the destination and agree on a 4:35 PM return; make sure they can get you back inside. Bring your book, bookmark, and library card if you have one. No phone, Watch, or keys are assumed.
2. Click “Walking directions: home to Claremont Branch.” Google Maps shows the 0.4-mile walk from 2838 Woolsey St., Berkeley, CA 94705, to 2940 Benvenue Ave., via Woolsey St. and Benvenue Ave. It estimates nine minutes; allow twenty minutes each way for crossings and a buffer. Stay with your adult.
3. Arrive around 3:00. Choose a book from 3:00 to 3:15, then sit and read without interruption from 3:15 to 4:15. Walk home together, arriving by 4:35.
4. “Claremont Branch hours” opens the official location page. Check for a new closure and safe weather before departure. If no adult can go, the library is closed, or conditions are unsuitable, read at home from 3:15 to 4:15 and stretch indoors afterward; the actual library visit remains to be rescheduled.

🧹 Cleanup & reset

Put books, pencils, and project supplies in their places, clear your desk, and leave the floor safe. You are finished when your workspace is ready for tomorrow.
