- I always feel like it takes us a good 4-8 weeks to really get into a good homeschool routine. Here is the daily routine that is currently working for our homeschool days.

Night owls here, too!
We are usually up until 1030-midnight. So our school stuff usually doesn’t start until Noon.
Kids wake up, play with toys, or just listen to music, and eat before we start our school.
This is our 5th year homeschooling and this works for us.
I love seeing all the different routines for each family. More homeschooling families need to see this; to know that there is no cookie cutter style.
I just have to say, I have been listening to the Bookshark pod casts and love hearing you on them. I pray you are writing a book!! 🙏 Between the homeschooling an only child to the game schooling, you have so much to share with the world ❤️
I think sometimes I forget that because I only have one that I can have so much more freedom to pick at subjects, deep dive, spread throughout the day and just enjoy lazy mornings. Thank you for letting us take a peek!
You guys do a lot. Sounds fun. I wish my mom was like you. I started homeschooling a few weeks ago. We always unschooled on more of the radical side but not quite. I can barely do one hour a day and not sure how long it is going to last..I have tried to homeschool in the past and it never lasted more than a few days so this is the longest we have homeschooled...As you say it takes a while to figure out what works..I have redone the "schedule" like 3 or 4 times...I have done gameschooling and have tons of board games so I have been adding that to our days too. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! We're in our first year of homeschool, so I love hearing what works for other people.
Yeah l don't really know what it is about it but yeah l love hearing peoples ideas to l don't homeschool my parents would not have the time they work full time I'm still a kid in second grade and lm not a parent 😅 but yeah l usually stay with my grandma and my grandpa died😢 l have two and both of them died in different years so my parents had to work more on top of their job l think my dad is under the most stress my mom is pretty nice and she stays with me on Saturday and we do fun stuff and she eats dinner with me also dad doesn't work all the time any more on Saturday he stays with me I'm a only child and have no pets and my parents were never separated l mean sure they fight but not a lot and my moms 47 so l don't think she's guna have a baby
Omgosh I am happy I found another parent with an only child
I also have an only child -Jessica has been so helpful
We are weavers as well. Thanks for this reminder that whatever works for us, works for us and there is no need to force it to look like someone else. Two of our three kids have martial arts 🥋 2-5 nights a week, which gets them home ~7:30 and generally they’re not done dinner until after 8 (unless on the rare occasion that they ate dinner before 4:45). Then they tend to want wind down / entertainment time or often they ask for some type of lesson that we started earlier to be completed. This year our evening routine includes an online video with a song or poem about something we’re learning. The day for them tends to end around 10 (although they often don’t settle down and fall asleep until 10:30-11) / at which point I see if I have enough energy to work or decide to do that after my morning routine at 5am, before they wake up on their own ~ 7:30 (8 year old), ~9 (6 year old and 3 year old).
Solid middle of the day people here! We get up and going slowly and naturally, but I notice that starting school right around 9:00 works best. Thanks to your channel, we now start school with a math game, and whoever gets chores done fastest gets to choose! Then my kindergartener does independent handwriting and maybe Explode the Code while my 2nd/3rd grader does math with me (Simply Good and Beautiful Math). When she gets to independent work I switch and do Kindergarten math. Break, second breakfast (like a snack for the kids, but breakfast for me so they get what I eat), and read aloud. Around 11:00 we switch to our language block (not a true block schedule) - reading, writing, handwriting, spelling, etc. We have a long break for lunch, play, and independent rest, then come back to do science 3 days a week around 2:30. I read the lesson while the kids snack. Usually we incorporate an experiment, activity, or game. Then we are done for the day (at least for official school!). Often I kick the kids outside in the afternoon, occasionally they get TV or tablet time, and dinner is as a family. I’m fried by evening, so we may play a game or they may play together while I do housework or rest. Many evenings my husband reads with the kids so I can have a break. Bedtime is between 8:30-9:00 for the kids and I try to turn off electronics by 9:30 and read until bedtime around 10:30.
I love it
im sure shes a very good little girl x
We are about to start year six of homeschooling our only. It has been an exciting journey. We are definitely middle of the day. Morning basket never did work for us. She is an adhd kiddo, so everything we do have a lot of hands on activities involved. If there is something that she simply has to listen to she has a craft or puzzle for her to do. Sometimes I’ll read while she is on the trampoline. In the morning she usually watches a little TV while eating. By 9AM screens are off, she gets ready and we start table time by 9:30. We’ll break for lunch around 11:30-12:30 then finish whatever school we have left after lunch. It took a few years to get a grip on a routine but we finally have a pretty solid schedule.
We are night owls as well. We go to bed at the same time around 10:30/11pm. My kiddos sleep until 10-11 am ish. I do Math with my youngest. We have breakfast and start our family subjects/morning basket. Then my youngest does a kiwi crate or craft and independent reading while I help the oldest with math. Then we play games, play outside, or read aloud. Then we do chores and have dinner. The kids get screen time until 8 then they get a snack, brush teeth, PJs. Then they have free time until bed.
The key here is that they are not on the screen! I didn't even had a TV until my son was 10. Then the pandemic hit and it was SO hard not being able to go out, go to parks, hikes etc..After a very scary episode with 2 of my children I decided it is better for them to be on the screen than go stir crazy..Well, that was a HUGE mistake. I went from having adventurous, creative, fun, never bored kids to screen dependent, always bored, "can I watch," I don't want to go to the park, etc kids...I feel so guilty...I know age changes kids too..but I felt like I lost them a bit...I limit the screens to the evenings but that doesn't stop them from asking...Dear God, help my kids!
My olders are early birds and my youngest likes to stay up late reading reading reading and sleep in. My middle and I go on a walk around 815 to start the day then when we get back we begin school. My older two do independent work while I do read alouds for history, sci and LA to my youngest while she eats breakfast. Then I do read alouds together, then table time for everyone. We break for lunch and listen to an audiobook. After lunch we either dive in to a unit study if we are currently doing one, do individual interests like science boxes, art time or one person puzzles or relax and listen to an audiobook. Occasionally, we still have table work to complete after lunch so we finish that up and try to be done with that type of learning by about 130 or 2. 2 kids have sports moat evenings so while 1 parent does that the other is home with the 3rd kiddo,, playing games, watching a documentary or having quiet reading time before dinner.
We don’t have strict transition times. We just go through chapter or lesson I have scheduled until they are all completed. I try to start around 9am, but we have been starting around 8:30am with activities this last week. We start with read-alouds which take about 1 hour, then my son does his independent work. I save independent work for last so if my son goofs around, I’m not waiting on him. My husband also does the science kits with our son. Ideally, we would play games in the afternoon but we tend to run out of time before my son gets to play on his tablet while I relax and then make dinner. I also struggle with having an only child who wants my attention 24/7. He’s not mature enough to handle online classes without constant supervision.
Thank you for all your advise. What type of tablet do you recommend for homeschool?
I had not heard of strewing! Thank you so much for this video. I am a night owl but both my children are morning people so after they are up and dressed they just turn to the tv untill i come down which i have always hated and tried to change so many times over the last year or so. I didnt think to try this though. We will definatley be giving strewing a go this next term. Can i ask, what handwriting book and math programe is Emily using in the video?
I think for math they use teaching textbooks
What do you use for audio books.
What audiobooks is Emily enjoying? I think my daughter has similar tastes and is really enjoying listening to audiobooks while knitting in the afternoon and before bed!
