classroom schedule
The projects within this book fit within a thirty-six week school year. For most projects, schedule one period per week that is 1-2 hours in length. Most projects require multiple sessions. The student at home will progress through the book at his or her own pace. For teachers who need to plan according to the school year, use the schedule below. It is one that I use in 75 minute class sessions that meet once per week. Working times of individual students vary greatly so it is necessary to modify scheduling once students get into the project.
