// WELCOME //
New here?? I would love to get to know you better!
I'll go first:
I'm Kaela, a Homeschool Graduate turned Homeschool Momma. My husband & I have 3 girls, with another on the way.
We are a Latino family, living our best life in a little 1930s fixer-upper in South Central Texas.
Although we are a family of faith, we typically stick to secular resources in our homeschool.
I love homeschooling, pretty books, dance breaks, and turning my humble abode into a home.
Oh, and a lot of coffee!
I hope you'll stay awhile 🧡

This is the most helpful video I have ever seen! It can be really difficult to learn other’s style for organizing and planning bc it’s so personal. The way you explained this scratched the itch in my brain 😂

[@OdetoAbode]

Yay!

[@EclecticHomeschoolShelf]

Thank you for sharing this! We also use separate curricula for each part of ELA, and it's challenging to decide when to focus on each aspect, imo. I'm also curious about Beowulf Grammar--looking forward to your review!

[@VDR090]

Very thorough and informative; you’ve given me a lot to think about. 😊

[@HeatherDeMeter]

Okay the index card with the rotation is so simple, but so smart! I wish I’d have thought of that way earlier! Def going to try implementing ASAP. I also appreciate that you mentioned trying to fit everything in every single day just isn’t sustainable. You’re so right and it sets us up for failure because once we start missing things, then weeks start going by where things get missed, and the whole train starts to derail, whereas this method allows for more flexibility. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤

[@OdetoAbode]

I'm all about simple 😅 I'm so glad you found the video helpful ☺️

[@Michelgia523]

Thank you so incredibly much for sharing Write by number! It’s just what my kiddos needed 😊

[@OdetoAbode]

That's awesome 😎

Thanks for this video and hello from South Africa. We use Rooted in Language's Pinwheels Language Arts I find it a great "all in one" curriculum for my child. It has the weeks laid out. However, after we complete RIL's Wands programe I will need to implement a custom ELA programme using niche resources for the different aspects of ELA. Thanks for showing me how to implement this.

[@OdetoAbode]

I've heard wonderful things about Pinwheels! I wish it had been available when my kiddos were little enough for it!

[@lesliedavis5323]

This was great! I would love an all in one LA for my 3rd grader but I think you’re right that there isn’t one that’s good for every topic. How are you liking Beowulf grammar? I’m considering it for next year.

[@OdetoAbode]

We are really loving it! I'll have a review in the next few weeks, once we have more time with it ☺️
