Well, the original post was six years ago, so there's that.

It isn't possible to give a comprehensive answer in one comment. :-) The short story is that you decide what you want to teach, and then you look for the materials and methods to help you do that. A weekly schedule is simply done by reading through the materials you have chosen, and figuring out how much you can do daily in order to finish the materials in a year. Y'all have to work it out on your own, though, based on activities and whatnot that your own family members are involved in.

Also, it's helpful to join a local homeschool support group--not necessarily a co-op, but a support group, with members who get together regularly.

There are lots of helps on this site, as well.
