Michael Clay Thompson: Island Level "Schedule"

Michael Clay Thompson loves language and this is clear in his educational materials. I have to assume he does not love schedules because in the many books in Island Level, there is not one schedule. We completed our main lesson once per week, with the extra practice or Practice Island scattered in on other days. See additional notes at the bottom of the list.

Notes:

• I include the extra practice in Grammar Island within the lesson in the list, though we did them during a different time slot than the main lesson. 
• We did not do all of the extra practice, just enough to know my daughter understood. 
• Likewise, we did not do all the writing activities in Sentence Island, just enough to have fun with the concepts.
• We do BraveWriter-style poetry teas. We talked about what we had learned from Music of the Hemispheres during the poetry teas and related it to the poetry we were reading.
• Beginning with week 11 (as soon as we had finished Grammar Island) we completed two sentences from Practice Island per week.
• If you are looking to do copywork or dictation, the sentences in Practice Island can be used for short passages.
• I do realize that 49 lessons does not fit into most people's "school year". I don't really think in school years, so this simply doesn't matter to me.
