So..question.. my kid does a hybrid twice a week, and i also work 2 days a week. So my week really looks strange, and not every day follows the same patterns. I could see how my child might be confused by this but generally we so school at home on tuesdays and one day on the weekend. Could i still say i have a consistent schedule when a lot of days just seem different? 🤔

Amen!!! Thank you for sharing

Right! We don’t have a routine but we’re getting there!

We always start puzzles with the side's as it's easier to identify

Heeeeelp

I needed to be reminded of several aspects of what you said. Thank you. I really like your lights behind the bookshelf. 🌻

Love your energy ❤

I usually do a subject or 2 after each meal to avoid hangry moments

Switching from level K The good and the beautiful. It’s my first serious year homeschooling; although I have homeschooled my oldest since preschool. I now homeschool another preschooler and am really over the good and the beautiful math and English. So I switched to CLE based on several videos that make it a good fit for both myself and my child. I’ve got the LA 1 program and also learning to read 1. Should I only be doing learning to read 1? Would the LA be too rigorous? I was thinking LA would touch base on writing a bit. But I can always save it for my preschooler. We also got math 1.

You mean I’m not alone in the consistency struggle 😅 Also, you have such a beautiful smile!

This is such an excellent update. I love that you shared your gameplay when you put CLE down temporarily! I have a kid who may benefit beautifully from this. I didn't know how. Thank you!!!!!

How would you go about encouraging kiddos to help out without them moaning and groaning lol mine can't stay focused or don't even want to try to help clean their own mess, like their toys or rooms. They feel overwhelmed and complain it's to much

Any tips for someone who is not a mornong person 😢?

Loved this video! Thank you for your time 🤍

Thank you for this. For some reason, laundry has become such a challenge this year. I prioritize the kids' clothes just like you said.

Really good discussion! McDonalds cracked me up but it’s true!

I am in an inconsistent stage of homeschooling simply bc I'm tired. This is my 21st year schooling 7 children, 4 still at home. I'm going through menopause with serious symptoms and I'm lucky if I get 3 hours of solid sleep each night. I'm generally falling asleep between 6-7 when I would normally be getting up. I don't feel burnout but I do get discouraged sometimes. That's why it's important to view your failures and successes in light of what season you're in and give yourself grace.

How do you maintain it when you work outside the home and you’re the only one teaching? Sometimes I want to give up.

This is good stuff. It can be hard to accept that your family's routine is different from the routine that's been drilled in from public school.

We always start around the same time every day. We start with a read aloud, then at least a page or lesson from each of the main subjects ( reading, math, language arts, writing, and spelling). Each of the additional, subjects are assigned one or two days per week and have a sticky note on the cover of them with the day it is assigned to( ex. Geography, science, health, social studies, etc). Each day the kids work through their assigned work, and are also expected to read a chapter from their independent reading book. It works well for us. My oldest son's routine is a bit different, and includes a bit more independence, but is basically the same idea. I agree with consistent small amounts of progress add up.

Consistency over perfection…. I felt like you were speaking directly to me 😂😂😂 I’m getting there.

The fries ARE delicious 😋

Love your smile and humor! ❤thanks for the reminders to be consistent.

Thank you for your honesty. I related to it all, working home, home educating out 6, 5 and 3 year old. I see every other mum in church who seems to manage it all so well. But God. Thank you.

Great advice! I also schedule margin days and use Homeschool Planet. Another thing that has helped my family is writing a homeschool mission statement with my husband. Referring to it helps remind us why we're homeschooling, and helps when we need to make decisions. Do you buy the pre-made lesson plans on HP or make your own? I've bought quite a few! I wonder if they're too detailed; they itemize every little thing to be done in a lesson when it could just as easily read, "Lesson 4." I also wonder if I'm spending too much money on them. But I do like having a "record" of what topics they learned, not just lesson numbers.

I just have to say, your smile is so beautiful and is what drew me to watch your video. I use some CLE in Europe and very much like their materials.

I am wanting to get this but the website is not set up for secure purchasing. Do you know where to go to get it from a secure site?

Agreed! ❤ my husband is such a big part of our day to day. We do try to prioritize our alone time together.

Nice demo! My daughter’s charter school uses this and has good results. I respect you for home schooling your kids. Such a great mom!!
