Loop scheduling
Loop scheduling is a way of planning in which subjects take turns in a fixed order instead of being tied to particular weekdays.
Each school day you do the next subject (or the next few) on the loop list, starting where you stopped last time. A lost day delays the loop rather than skipping a subject, so over time each subject gets a similar number of turns.
Example
Art, music, nature study and handicrafts in a loop with one slot a day: if Wednesday is lost, Thursday takes the subject Wednesday would have had.
For the record you keep
Count turns per subject rather than days per subject. A record of which loop subject was done each day shows that every subject was covered.
One record for any method
Lessons, the learning log and work samples all count toward attendance, hours and the year-end packet.
