The Core: Schedules and Resources for Classical Education
I have a binder.
It’s my CC (Classical Conversations) binder. From Target. It’s fun. It makes me happy.
I really need to do a whole blog post on how I am going to use it.
Most importantly, it contains my schedule. Said schedule came from Half-A-Hundred Acre Wood.
I work from home, though. I wake up early in the morning to complete the tasks for my “second job.” Around 8 AM my first job priorities awaken.
The Single and Working Parent Chapter
In Leigh Bortins, eleventh chapter of The Core, she shares how single and working parents can fit a classical education into their child’s life, including ideas for the child who attends a classroom during the day.
When Do You Do School?
My goal this year is to have our school completed by lunchtime or shortly after. When do you do school?
And I’m curious, if you work full time, how do you make your home a classical-minded environment?

Hey Jodi- We do CC at home and TOG. I am truly enjoying the memory work for myself. (LOL) I look for short-term part-time jobs here and there. 😀
We have a wee little tot in the house so we normally finish school around 2:00pm at this point.
I’m excited for the memory work to start up! (I hear you on the part time jobs here and there. 🙂 ) I’m working towards being done shortly after lunch . . . it has happened on occasion! LOL
Hi Jodi,
Just stumbled upon your blog (somewhere via Twitter)! I like the clean, welcome look.
As to CC…I’m new to this method of teaching, we’ve enrolled our two very young children and we start in a few weeks! We’re excited and hoping to connect with others in this journey. I help my husband (part time) in our real estate business so managing our new schedule will be challenging but we’re up to it! I concluded my day will have to begin by 7am and end at 7 pm. Homeschooling and real estate will happen between those hours although I can’t say the hourly schedule will be consistent, we’ll see! I’m afraid everyday will be different. For now, he’s committed to helping me homeschool as much as he can, and I’ll be helping him w/real estate as it’s necessary.
Sounds like you have a plan! We are pretty loose too, as far as our schedule goes. I work online . . . so I try and get my work done before the kids wake up, but that doesn’t always happen . . . and sometimes things come up in the middle of the day!
Congrats on joining CC!!
