- This year was our first year homeschooling and what a journey it's been! We've learned and grown so much along the way and I wanted to share how we've been doing it as newbies who, honestly, don't know what we're doing. If we can do it, you can too!

#howwehomeschool #homeschoolforbeginners
My mom homeschooled all five of us until high school and the transition from homeschool to high school was a piece of cake for us, taking all AP classes. We all went into college and higher education and got degrees in finance, international business, MD and nursing, and I credit all of that to my mom. None of us lacked social skills. Our parents stressed not only school, but volunteering at nursing homes, the hospital and at the library teaching young children to read. We also got involved in outside sports and all of us were competitive swimmers. We took outsides classes, like Spanish, robotics, etc. to make us well rounded in areas where my mom lacked knowledge in. We were all placed in music classes where even now, I can boast I can play Beethoven and Mozart on the piano haha. We also were involved in 4H and other clubs where we were encouraged to go after roles such as president of the club, etc. We were involved in our Church, in the choir, teaching Sunday school and my brothers were alter boys (Catholic).
I am so grateful for my parents and all they have done for us. Even when we went to school, we still had many of these activities along with paying jobs. I hope to do the same with my children (three under three currently haha)
You are doing a great job, Delilah!
I love this comment! Thank you for sharing ❤.
As a Canadian teacher of kids Eloise’s age, I think you are doing a great job. She is reading so so well for a child her age. I would say she is ahead of many of her peers academically.
You really have a teacher mindset. Comparing kids development to other kids, never to themselves.
@@sossoft - I am raising three neurodivergent children and am doing no such thing. I wonder if you would have the gall to say such a thing to my face in conversation.
@@emilymorris864but it’s true. Comparing children is a teacher mindset. This is why people home school.
@@jasmineoden6423 - My comment was designed to encourage a new home schooling mom that she is doing a good job and promote confidence. Unless you know me personally you have no idea if I compare children to each other . This little girl is an advanced reader . If that is offensive I don’t know what to tell you.
@@sossoftwhat a ridiculous reach.
The lack of respect for teachers is unbelievable. It’s such a hard and important job to do. People homeschool and so think they know everything and are superior. It’s absolutely ridiculous. There has to be some benchmarks for children, otherwise there would be no way to know if some students had additional needs and needed help. Bore off.
As someone who was homeschooled through all 12 grades I just want to boost your confidence and say this is very similar to how my mom homeschooled me and my 6 siblings!! A mix of traditional, Montessori, learning together - learning with textbooks etc. ! We were very flexible and I appreciated that. My mom was more about giving us the confidence and opportunity to love learning and explore different things than having a strict schedule. Each year can look different depending on your kids needs and that’s okay too. That’s the perk of homeschooling I think!
There's actually a book can't remember the name but it mentions the flexibility as you can work longer on things they struggle with then in school. Which is a peak plus you can arrange museum trips with other homeschool families and learn like that too
Yes to more homeschooling content! I have a two year old, and I know next to nothing about homeschooling, so this was so informative to me. Maybe as part of your next video addressing the “why” or your homeschooling journey, you could explain where you even started on your research and prep process. I’m in a position that I wouldn’t even know what to Google to point me in the right direction. This video was so eye opening, and I’d love to know where it all started and how your knowledge of the homeschooling curriculum and schedule developed incrementally. Thank you, again!
I cannot begin to explain my excitement seeing this video pop up in my feed-especially from you!! I'm a new homeschooling mama too, this will be my first year homeschooling my oldest for Kindergarten and I don't have any family or friends who homeschool so I've been researching all I can and finally settled on the CMEC (Charlotte Mason Educational Center) which isn't a curriculum, but more of a community focusing on the philosophy of teaching with tons of resources that really equip moms to teach which is amazing!
This video is SO helpful as well! Thank you for this encouragement, all the resources, and definitely don't discount yourself just because you're new to homeschooling and your kids are young. God has given you such wisdom and resourcefulness, you're such an amazing mother teacher and such a blessing to us Delilah!
I’m doing the CMEC too next year!
We’re on our 14th year of homeschooling, and I was similar; I never thought it was something we’d do. You are always qualified to share your own experiences.🥰
My whole first year as a teacher I felt like I had no idea what I was doing… ended up earning some awards and even pay raise by the end of 12 months! I’m sure you’re a much better teacher than you think 🤭
U homeschooled?? If that was the case, how would u get awards?? If u did it in your own house and not in a typical school, who would give u sn award? Like who would even know u were homeschooling, except for family and friends?? Sorry, but definitely NOT understanding about the AWARDS!!?
@@foofookachoo1136 no dear, I was working at a forest school at that time ❤️
You are a champion mum! You work so hard - may it be Blessed!
I am going to start homeschooling my kids this fall. I am so nervous but I can’t shake this feeling it’s what is going to be best, thank you for sharing your experience it encourages me to be brave in this next bit as we figure it out.
Thanks for sharing! Love this! It’s our first year this year also. And you are so right, it’s a life style. My 5 year old is the one technically “schooling”, but my 2 year old son learns right along side him. I’m shocked by him reciting scripture, knowing Bible stories, complicated animal names and info, numbers, letters and phonics, shapes… it’s so amazing! We are so blessed to be able to cultivate this positive environment of life long learning in our home
Delilah - thank you for this! This video is so special and honest. My son is just 2 but we are exploring what this may look like for our family. I never wanted to homeschool growing up and now it’s all I want for my son. We have lots of research and learning ahead of us but your honest perspective of how it went diving right in was so refreshing and needed for my soul. God bless you guys as you continue this journey! Please keep this content coming for as long as it brings you joy :)
Well welcome to where we all were when we started homeschooling. No one knows what they are doing when they start, and over time, you will see what works and what doesn't. I also never thought I would homeschool. I knew so many kids who were homeschooled and mothers who were homeschooling them, so I said, "Well, why not?"
The biggest statement you will hear is, "I could never do that," in which I chuckle, since I didn't think I could either.
"Gather Round" sounds awesome. I love the "swat the word." You definitely already look way more organized than I was when I started out! You are doing an amazing job.
I need to look into this since I am going to be homeschooling this baby in my womb. . .and my others two will both be in high school this next school year.
I used Rod & Staff with various portions of their curriculum (I am also Mennonite and so is that curriculum, so that has partly why I chose it). They have adorable readers your daughter might enjoy! I loved their English curriculum but it was heavy duty at times and my sons struggled with it sometimes (but they recently thanked me for it).
Definitely recommend looking into: The Good and Beautiful, Beautiful Feet, Horizons/Alpha Omega, Christian Light, and Monarch. When they are older, using Teaching Textbooks (online math) was really loved by my older sons. I created my own history curriculum here and there.
Not sure if Canada supports Hoopla, but it is a digital library app/online site attached to your own local library. You can take out 8 free audio books and digital ebooks per month. I use it constantly and we used it for lots of books for years, but I also still read to them even when they are the ages they are. Never stop.
I strongly feel that you are providing a quality education by your homeschooling tactics and you are protecting your children from being bullied from bad classmates.
She is also protecting them from any form of socialisation and having friends. I feel like Eloise especially would need some form of activity where she can spend time with peers to go along with homeschooling.
@@bridzs333 This is a silly response considering you haven't the slightest idea what kind of socialization goes on outside these videos.
Amazing video production quality. The b roll in between and the way you went through the topic was super high quality. Well Done!
I am still 20 weeks pregnant for the first time, but I intend to homeschool my kids. I stumbled upon your videos accidentally and I am so happy I found you. I love watching your journey. It gives me so much inspiration as a homemaker.
You are doing such a great job ❤ I’m a long time homeschool mom of 8 and a homeschool graduate. You remind me of myself 10 years ago when my first several children were small.
My son was born very early and has been a bit delayed a bit. He caught up so much since going to kindergarten. He absolutely loves it. He learns so much better when others teach him and the school took it very serious that my son needs extra help. He also continues to get occupational therapy and speech therapy. I volunteer 2-3 times a month in his class and according to the schedule someone is there volunteering every day which is amazing because the teacher separates a specific child from the group to work on specific right outside the room same with the teacher assistant. She really tries to work on every child's struggles and get the volunteers help as much as possible. I tried to do some bookwork with my son and he is not interested with me at all. Even before he started school and this is why I am soooo thankful that he does well with public school and that it has helped him socially as well.
They're such individuals, it's beautiful
@@BibbyLou99 yes and that's why it's so great to have options.
I love homeschool, but this sounds perfect for him! Glad he enjoys it so much and is doing so well. :)
My partner was homeschooled and that's the approach we want to take when we have kids
Love your approach Delilah! Thanks for another amazing video ❤
This was not only so so helpful, but I really enjoyed how beautiful the video was. Thank you for taking time to share your homeschooling journey💜
We started using Gather Round Preschool this year because I looked into it after seeing you guys were using the Ready to Read program and actually we just started our first unit of Ready to Read after doing the last two units of the Preschool program and have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much for sharing!
The video we’ve all been waiting for! So cool to see how you’re homeschooling as a homeschooler!❤
As a fellow homeschool mom newby I was so excited to see this!
I love this video, so great to see your obedience to the Lord and how it is positively effecting your family. I love that homeschooling is so versatile and moldable depending on the season
Thank you Delilah, my son is only just turning 3 on Wednesday but I’ve been planning to home school him since conception.
I needed this video 100%
I’m in the UK so I’m not sure how different home education is here compared to the US but I’ve definitely been doubting whether I can do this. I feel more confident after watching your video.
He’s never been to a nursery and is super clever and I keep reminding myself he’s essentially already learnt everything he knows so far at home. Don’t know why we get ourselves so worried tbh 🙈
AAAH the relief i felt when i found out about home education as something we can do here legally and with suvh a relaxed set of requirements. I was struggling to find any Montessori schools anywhere other than in London and all the alternative schools were too farvfrom us nothing worth the separationduring this age. She's going to be 3 this month and i was pregnant at the time thinking we had to enroll her somewhere but i am so happy i found out education is only compulsory from 5 and then it was just gathering what else i needed to continue doing Montessori with her with more preparation in the 3 to 6 class items and my own skills in being her guide. I got a printer so i can mostly DIY everything. I then later in the park met another home ed mum she did it for a few years but she added me to the he ed group WhatsApp and then i found a mixed age group for kids from infancy to 5 i am so happy and grateful to God for this lifestyle that i couldn't imagine. I am so happy that my concerns based on attachment theory and the standerd i have for her education and development motivated me towards this.
Delilah lives in Canada, in Saskatchewan, not in the USA.
@@foofookachoo1136 it really isn’t that big a deal, everyone makes mistakes, nobody else felt the need to point that out 🙄
I love how you displayed your homeschool. How fun and memorable for your kids. I wish I can be this organised and equipped to be a homeschool mum.
I love love loved this video!! Ever since you announced that you were homeschooling Eloise I wanted to know more! My husband and I are considering homeschooling and I love seeing how each family goes about their homeschooling techniques, methods and routines.
You're doing a great job Delilah! I'm in my 2nd year of homeschooling but I have 5 kids, oldest in 7th grade, youngest is a toddler. It is a steep learning curve and I struggle but I love it. ❤
Delilah this video has been very motivating to me. My son is Theo’s age and we are on the path the homeschooling. I feel so encouraged and inspired by your video. It is a beautiful aspiration for me. God bless xx
This is great. I have a 4 year old, 2.5 year old, and 1 year old and baby on the way. And I feel stressed about getting my 4 year old going. I love the Charlotte Mason approach which has made me feel better about taking it slow. We also really want to incorporate classical into their education as well. It sounds like what you are doing right now is great.
I'm interested in combining Charlotte Mason and Classical education methods as well.
I teach at a classical private school that focuses heavily on Charlotte Mason's philosophy
Could you make an updated video on your homeschooling? How you teach and parent your children is such an inspiration 🫶🏼
So happy you are doing vids on homeschooling. I plan on homeschooling my daughters. My oldest is 2 right now and I’m due with my second in August! Having you give any little advice helps me a lot when thinking about what I want to do 😊 I also checked out your website and loveeeee how organized and useful it is! Thank you so much for being so helpful!
Homeschool positively influenced my life in countless ways. Keep up the good work!
My wife watches this channel a lot and loves it. Just wanted to drop the comment for her. ;)
This video showed up in my feed as I’ve been researching homeschooling starting at kindle level. I needed this ❤
What a fun and beautiful Homeschool space! I loved thrifting homeschool products, especially books and games! Love the wooden calendar!
I have 1yr, 2yr, 4yr 6yr. We used 100 Easy Lessons, and waiting for Gather Round in the mail. I also have the Melissa and Doug toys for helping the youngers. I’m looking into Explode the Code for my 4yr old. She likes workbooks. Best part is bonding with the kids and using teaching as a creative outlet for myself. Gather Round let’s me add books or field trips: it acts as a framework to keep me focused on important themes but yet free to go in-depth into those things however I feel like.
Just came back to this as reference because we start our first homeschool year next week and I needed the encouragement. I’ve watched a few other RUclipsrs but your channel makes me feel more confident and like we are on the same page I can’t really explain it but I would love another intro to homeschool video for this new year and an update through out to just keep me going cause I’m scared! Hopeful but scared I’ll mess up. Thank you for your videos ❤ our babies are coming soon too so homeschool with a newborn 😳 let’s do this 😂❤
We’ve been homeschooling for over 10 years. I so enjoy watching your videos because it reminds me of where we started. It was a such a sweet and exciting time! I :never: planned to homeschool either. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all! ❤
What a cool set up and "routine"! I'm sure it's so fulfilling to be able to teach your kids. My oldest is 3 1/2 and I really hope I am able to homeschool him next year. I'm not sure how my temperament/ patience will do with it though and we are a dual language household so we'll see!
I have been trying to get in the headspace of being a homeschooling parent (my son is only Williams age) but it feels important to equip myself with as much knowledge about teaching methods, resources, and curriculum that I can in order to feel confident in my eventual decision to educate at home. Please keep these videos coming!
Evolving throughout the year proves that you know what you’re doing! Keep up the good work ❤
Yes please, more homeschool content! We are also completing our first year of homeschooling! What a joy it has been to have all 3 of my babies with me all day everyday 😇😇😇
This video was so good. I can't wait to start homeschooling! My daughter is Theo's age so I'll try to be patient as I wait. What a blessing to be able to teach our kids about the world.
I’m obsessed with Rod and Staff’s preschool. I combine them with another preschool series that has more color though.
Really enjoyed this video Delilah; great to see so much detail and it looks fantastically varied for them. Thankyou for your honesty and sharing this with us!
Yes! More homeschooling content❤ I have a 2 year old right now and a newborn. We plan to homeschool and also have more babies, so I love hearing about how you homeschool/ parent. I also loved the sleep training video you posted! Thank you for the great content😊
This is awesome. My it's my first year, too, and my daughter is in kindergarten! We also opt for an electric style and youngest (2 years old) is learning right along! I look forward to seeing more homeschooling content!
I am going to start the 100 easy lessons with my twins. They just turned 7 and are struggling to read. We do Masterbooks but we are taking a step back from that to go to the 100 easy lessons. So glad I found your channel. I have the 7 year old twin boys and a 4 yr old daughter.
Our babies are close to the same age, son 5, daughter 4 in July, and daughter 2 in July. Praying about another one. We have been trying to do homeschool preschool; it has been a learning curve. I graduated with a k-6 grade teacher degree… it is nice to see how other moms do school at home because traditional school at home was a NO for us. My poor son is the experimental child. I’d love to see more videos in the future how you do school with new baby at home. Congratulations on baby 4!
Really glad you chose homeschool. I remember a video a while ago you said you were planning on sending Elouise to normal school!
You’re bringing back so many memories from my childhood! I was homeschooled from grades 1 to 5 and the second abacus you showed was the exact one I had! I also loved The Boxcar Children growing up…I’d finish one book a night!
Thank you for this beautiful video. I’ve always wanted to homeschool but felt nervous about it. This video got me so excited for how unique it can be for your family. May the Lord bless you all 🥰
I'm so impressed! 👏 Thank you so much for this video! So good and actually helpful as it's full of smart ideas. 👌
I've been watching you for a while now and I can genuinely say , this is now one of my favorites and I'm excited to see more videos like this one more often 🤩
I am SO excited to watch this video! Love your channel Delilah ❤
What a well thought out video! I love your personality and love the way you explain everything!
So excited for more of these topical type videos!
Love videos like these. You're doing such a great job home schooling!
This is great! I’m starting in the fall with my 5 year old and also have a soon to be 2 year old! Love seeing your set up!
I would love more homeschool vidoes! I have a desire but don’t know how to get started
This video has been so helpful. I see so many similarities between the two of our home school methods. It assures me that we are on the right path. By the way I have been reading the boxcar children to my kids which was an all time fave of mine as a kid. Thank you so much, you're a rock star.
You could always do gather round during morning time together. If you haven’t heard of Pam Barnhill you could learn more about morning basket .
LOVE this content! Super encouraging and helpful for someone like myself interested in homeschooling in the next year or so..
I have been doing research into the insanely abundant resources for homeschool and nowhere have I found so many QUALITY resources in one place that I actually want to buy. Good job momma! Thank you
So awesome! :) A fun tip, too, as an alternative to Audible is RUclips. We listened to the Chronicles of Narnia on RUclips, chapter by chapter. It was great!
Thank you so much for sharing!! My daughter is 2 and I have been wanting to explore Canadian homeschooling. You’re doing a great job!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We have a 5 year old, a 3 year old and an 11mth old. We are seriously looking into homeschool and this is one of the view recent videos I have seen that has truly helped ease some of my anxiety about it. I know it is the right route for our family but still a little scary.
Homeschooling with the perfect lighting.
We use gather round also. If you choose to use letter and numbers with T, E would still love it! Also, I think letters and numbers 3 & 4 is a lot about writing so I could see if being a good first grade option.
This makes me so excited to start homeschooling when my kiddo is older ❤
So good! We love Gather Round. My video today was about Gather Round. Learning as a family is so valuable! My boys are 5,7,7&9 so it works out really well! You're doing great! Our styles are very similar.
Love this video!! So excited for more like this!!
The breakfast table!!! Brilliant!!!
I would love to see more about this theme!
Thanks for this video Delilah! I hope to homeschool my son, and other future children, when they are old enough. I'd love to hear more about this as you continue to learn and try different things!
What about Otto player instead of Audible? That way it’s screen free and they can manage it themselves. 😍
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!!! I taught 1st & 4th grade for a few years, then switched jobs to be home with my kids. I’m thankful it lined up because me and my husband feel like homeschooling is what the Lord wants us to do. Despite my teaching experience, I have felt overwhelmed and unsure how to go about homeschooling. This video was so helpful, I love the resources you discussed and the idea of a relaxed schedule. I would love to see more videos like this and I’m 100% subscribing 🥲. You have a beautiful family and a beautiful home
I loved this video! Homeschooling really is a lifestyle.
I meant to watch this right when it came out to help out your algorithm, but with two young kids, that's hard to do with a video I really wanted to pay attention to. I'm so excited about homeschooling content. I'm planning on VERY casually starting preschool with my three year old in the fall, but I'm also having babies #3 and #4 in September, so I don't know if 3 yo preschool will happen at all. He's so smart and I think it will be a good form of one on one time with him, but I'm definitely not putting pressure on myself to do it. It's something I'm excited to start. Hopefully my one year old will continue with her great naps. Anyways, I really appreciate this video. My MIL bought me some curriculum for 3 year old preschool, so it will be a good starting point even if we don't fully get into it this year.
Sweetest video 💕 you’re doing amazing Delilah!
We also homeschool and just found your channel! I'm excited to follow along ❤
I find this so intruiging, where I am from homeschooling is not allowed so this is like discovering a whole new world. It sounds like you are doing an awesome job Delilah (even though it doesn't mean much given my lack of knowledge😂)
Definitely will be rewatching when my kiddos are of age to start 🤗
Love this video!!! Im planning to homeschool my children and will definitely love to refer back to this!
YES!!!More more more!!! This was excellent!
Thank you thank you for this video! Still praying about whats the best option for our family and son (homeschool or public). I loved hearing your perspective 💕
You just inspired me thanks for this and for the books you have shown in here
If you wanted to stay with Gather Round, I taught my son how to read using their program.
Found this so interesting! I would love to try homeschooling but I don't think I could do it around work. I intend to incorporate some of the educational elements in our play time to support school ❤ thanks for the overview x
I love everything about this! Thank you for sharing❤. By chance what are your favorite videos to show? I personally dont so lots of screen time but Id love to have great videos when I do show my daughter videos.
This is my first year too!
I loved this! I want to badly to be successful with homeschooling - it is definitely challenging!
I would be super interested in a video on how you got your youngest to fall asleep by himself. I see him do it when you put him in the crib awake for naps, bedtime I think too. It amazes me because I always have to nurse my one year old for a half hour before she falls asleep and I don't know if there's any way to change it unless I do some form of sleep training.
Here for this content!
Your reason for deciding to home school is probably the same as everyone else’s these days. ❤
This is really interesting, thank you for sharing this. I don’t homeschool but was curious about it. Would love to hear your story about why you chose to homeschool. 👍
Fellow homeschool mama here! What kind of RUclips videos or videos do you put on for them? ❤
This was so great and helpful to watch. Thankyou 😊
Thank you!!
My daughter is almost 4 and I want to homeschool
I have been waiting and hoping for this video!
If you're looking for read a loud book ideas, my daughter is Eloise's age and absolutely loved the book the BFG by Roald Dahl and The Very, Very Far North by Dan Bar-el
I'd like more homeschooling content! I have 3 kids under 3 so, while we are nowhere near homeschooling, I struggle to even read a book or do any activity without constant interruption. My oldest is mellow and has always sat and listened. My 20 month old is loud, vivacious, energetic and only wants to be physically active. I know he's NORMAL for his age but I struggle to balance the needs of my almost 3 year old, who wants to sit and do puzzles, and my 20 month old, who only wants to throw them. I feel like it deprives my older one from doing learning activities (that he wants to do-i don't force them). Any tips??
