In my house, what doesn’t get marked off in a week becomes the first priority of the next week, or simply (gasp!) is forgiven and let go. We are not going to eat everything at the proverbial banquet table. Be okay with what doesn’t get marked off. The purpose of this chart is not only to keep us on track, but to help us visualize the “feast” AO has spread.Mark off what the child completes. My elementary students love to check those circles! Each day we work to complete all our circles in the Daily Alone and a few from the reading list as well as at least one task from each of the other sections.I also take note of any readings we might have missed and adjust my page numbers to match our reality. I do this on my computer, but it can easily be written in by hand. Beside the book title on my chart I fill in the scheduled page numbers, leaving a blank space (or the word “none”) where no reading is required. Add page numbers to reading list. Each week I look at the AO site (or a printed PDF) to see what books are scheduled.(My actual Year One list will look different than what I show you here, because I tweak to suit our needs.) The reading list (and the entire schedule) can be edited to match any term or year. On this downloadable version I’ve included all of the Year One, Term One books for AmblesideOnline. Reading: The child’s readings for the week.(Also might be part of Circle time, etc.) Weekly Together: the weekly work done together as a family.(Some of this can be moved into Weekly Together.) These are items the child doesn’t tend to every day. Weekly Alone: the weekly work belonging to the individual child, to be done alone or with me.Add or subtract circles to suit your needs! Daily Together: the daily (or almost daily) work done together as a family – think, Circle Time, Morning Time, what have you.One circle to be checked off per day as the work is done.
