We love schoolhouse rock videos! Oldies but Goodies. 😊

First time seeing your video and I absolutely love this! I wrote each down as a reminder for me throughout the year♥️. We’re going into year 7 of homeschooling and these hacks are so important to keep in mind… always 😆. I immediately subscribed when you said “practice not master patience”.. that’s a word! 😂

I’m a teacher but I’m still super nervous about home schooling my kiddos. A lot of the tips you gave, I use in my classroom. So great job mama!! One thing I learned in the classroom (keep lessons short) is to try not to talk or lecture longer than the child’s age. So for a 10 year old, I would lecture 10 minutes, and then begin hands on practice or a video or a writing or discussion, anything but lecturing.

Hey there, teacher-mama! Don't worry, you're not alone in feeling nervous about homeschooling. Just take it one day at a time and remember to give yourself some credit. You're doing great! Also thanks for the tip, I love that its simple and easy to remember.

There’s no way you’re 36!!!! You look way younger than that ❤ & I really enjoyed this video & tips. I’m starting this year with preschool & these were very helpful!

[@PlanPrepPray]

Thank you so much!! You got this!

[@ari3lz3pp]

Enjoy your time bonding more than anything. ❤ I wish we started during the preschool years, the kids did NOT need to be stuck with busy work then. They learn organically at that age. But I do love Wendy's point, that if the little ones are motivated TO learn certain things, even with workbooks etc then go for it! 😊 ❤ Time developing relationships, just exploring the world and time in fresh air can be a blessing.

[@ari3lz3pp]

Real life connections and flexibility! ❤ YES. I went to private school, public school, AND finished up with charter school for k-12 and the real-world connections and practical applications are minimal. Especially looking at it as an adult when we first tried two of those for our kids. Homeschool is so great because we can have that flexibility AND connection, even better when it's fit to each child. We were working with a charter school for the longest with my special needs child, and it was stressful when they had certain expectations that didn't make sense. Too high in some regards, too low in others. I still catch myself over a year into homeschool, trying to push when it doesn't make sense or going too easy even (then boredom strikes). When my kids are having a rough go, (and aren't just being lazy) I can pull back and let them have easier or more fun material. We can also feed our kid's natural strengths and interests and it inspires them to learn more efficiently. Something rarely condoned in other settings, not to this degree. I think that's why my kids have excelled in this format (even when I feel I'm failing miserable and like we should be doing more...😂 It's a nice surprise! 😅)

Thank you sweet friend ❤

[@greencreekheart]

I am so tired of my stacks of homeschool books like in your thumbnail 😂 but I don't love stand up file folders. I definitely want some of those paper organizers

[@ari3lz3pp]

Same. 😅 I've been glaring at these stacks of books for at least a month now, but it's overwhelming. I might get a dresser for our books, it would just work more easily for me. Eventually I'll get there, I hope you do too! Tackle the mountain! 🏔️😂 ❤

[@greencreekheart]

@ari3lz3pp I have my extra stuff (answer keys, future light units, paper, etc) in a dresser I actually love it!

[@nancypanasyuk8860]

How long is a typical day of homeschooling for you? Anyone can answer.

[@Nikki-ks6wi]

9am-12pm includes lesson activities and electives, rest of the day is free play

[@PlanPrepPray]

9-2 but I have a wide range of kiddos and not everyone of them is schooling the entire time

[@nancypanasyuk8860]

@@PlanPrepPray thank you for sharing💕🙏🏼

[@ari3lz3pp]

For my special needs child a day can often be separated into chunks, so we have good breaks in between, which also allows for outside time and chores. 10-11AM , 1-3 PM , and 5:30-6 PM is a typical day for our studies. If he's struggling to sleep I might read from one of our school books. (Whether it's a factual book or historical fiction...) Then the next day I can review and move forward. ❤ Three hours of time spent learning is pretty average I think though. That's the state requirement where I live and it makes sense. We get a lot done in that time since we have one:one and one:two attention vs one teacher and 20+ students. As they get older they can do more independently....for my NT kid I spend maybe 1 hour actively engaging/teaching most days, we have one day a week that is particularly busy where I do spend more time on new subjects or deeper review. (Saturday; since Dad works then and we don't like crowds!) I spend about 2 hours/week making lesson plans which doesn't always pan out but gives me more focus and direction for the day. I like to make sure subjects are related.

[@HarrisonIsha]

I only have two littles. Typical day is from 9-12. That includes breaks, videos, exercises, and electives.
