I can’t love this video any more! 💖 I so appreciate your perspective and topics you’ve been sharing through your videos lately. We also homeschool through a CA charter, and between 2 back to back pregnancies/newborns in the last 3 years, we’ve ended up schooling through the summer to “catch up” or finish our curriculum. It’s so hard to get the public school model out of my head. Where we are in northern CA, temps have been 105-115° this summer which isn’t uncommon. While watching this, I realized that we really should be utilizing our break time during the spring and fall since we literally will burn if we spend time outdoors. 🥵 Your content and calm demeanor are so encouraging to me while I lose the rigidity that I hold myself. 🫶🏻
You're not alone! It has taken me years to get to this "relaxed" mindset, and I still feel like I need a lot more work. BUT YEAH, take advantage of the nice weather when you get it! Even though we homeschool through a charter that has a traditional school calendar year, it doesn't mean we have to keep to their schedule. And thank you for your kind words and for continuing to watch my videos! I love getting comments like yours, as it reminds me that I'm not just talking to myself and that there are people out there I am impacting in some small way. 💝
I struggle with this topic as I want to homeschool In a rigorous Way but doable so relaxed!!! I like a hands on approach as well!!! I often switch up when we do certain things!!! I refuse to do long hrs of instruction and we focus on depth!!! We love rabbit trails!!! In Aussie history textbooks the 1st ppls aren’t mentioned, I don’t agree with that personally!!! One of my kids does masterbooks math and they encourage math outside the textbook!!! We do more discussions than essays!!! My older kids call them papers as they have to write a few for their classes but I think they write enough!!! We have to keep a portfolio but I doubt it will be a binder per kid!!! I reflect a lot!!! We are classical homeschoolers but I want to do it in a relaxed way!!!
I love how you homeschool! Your kids seem to be getting a good mix of both worlds. I'm sure your years of experience have helped you find the right balance for you and your family.
