homework/study schedule

As finals approach and more students request help putting together a homework schedule, I thought it may be useful for this to be accessible to everyone.

Here is a typical night.  You'll notice that all but two subjects request 30 minutes, adding up to a homework load of between 2 and 3 hours each night.  Except for R and R weekends and extremely rare exceptions, all students should have homework in all subjects every night.

The order things happen in is flexible.

3:30-4: get home, eat a snack, etc.
4-4:15: study Latin paradigms and vocabulary
4:15-4:30: Latin worksheet
4:30-4:35: take a break
4:35-4:50: Lit/Comp reading, exercise, etc.
4:50-5:05: Lit/Comp study definitions of vocab. and grammar
5:05-5:10: break
5:10-5:30: History reading, writing, etc.
5:30-5:40: look over History notes and study vocab
5:40-5:45: break
5:45-6:05: science reading, worksheet, etc.
6:05-6:15: study science definitions and look over notes
6:15-7: eat dinner
7-7:30: math homework (Note: If you finish early, move on to art.  If it takes you longer than 30 minutes, stop and go see Mr. Huynh before school in his classroom the following day to ask for help.)
7:30-8: art homework

Every student and their family has a different schedule, including various extra-curricular activities.  Please feel free to come to tutoring or make an appointment if you'd like help making a homework schedule that better suits you.

Yours in time management,
Miss Fischer
