homeschool curriculum update and a new homeschool routine for 2024!

[@randimerrithew1520]

I like the idea of having one on one time and of having the children. I think this is an area where I have been failing lately. My oldest two are 2 years apart in age but about the same level with reading and math so I’ve been teaching them together without a lot of progress. I don’t know why I didn’t think of just teaching them individually, but I think that would be a huge help for their confidence. So thank you for the suggestion. I also really like the idea of having the children create their own flash cards. I’m also not a natural at that type of learning but at least one of my children is. I would love to hear more about your mom’s creative ideas.

“I’m real….but I’m not THAT real” 🤣🤭 Thanks for this update. I’m juggling the needs of 3 early readers and it is a lot!!

I'm right there behind you. It's my first time teaching a beginner reader this year and his siblings coming in the next two following years.😅❤

very inspired by you! im an older sibling having to homeschool her little brother and your channel has helped me not burn out.

[@carolannbrewer4273]

For the record - I’d buy any course you made! 😆

You're doing SO great! I would LOVE to know some of yours and your mother's ideas or suggestions for incorporating more 'creative' ideas for reading lessons like you mentioned painting and getting them to do their own flash cards etc. Would love to know what you do or a resource with some ideas that you pull from perhaps? Thanks in advance and God bless you and your family abundantly awesome mamma!

🎉your wall is green! 🎉 I still have the laundry room, kitchen and livingroom to paint. I only have 2 kiddos and it is still a daunting task. Always enjoy your content!

I love the appointment idea, I am going to use that for my planning. Thanks for your videos.

[@Katy_living_simply]

Love this video! Especially the appointments. Great idea! ❤

Thank you for your help and i appreciate hearing what you've learned. A lot of people have their kids spread out and although that has its own challenges i can't relate much at all. I have six kids 7 and under and my oldest is very advanced and I have a set of twins who want to be a part of everything and I have a struggling reader... I've been thinking about group learning and appointments, I just didn’t have a name for it. Do you have a video about how you make and keep to your timetable? Also, I find myself becoming very mentally exhausted after school time. What do you do to rejuvenate?

[@thesimplemamma]

it is a struggle to teach so many little ones and I often do feel ready to end the day after school time! something I have started doing is school in the afternoons after I have cleaned and done around the house things, it makes me feel like when I finish the school time bustle it actually is time to begin the evening prep which for some reason makes it easier,I also switch my days up, I do a four day week, but I ay take the day off on a wednesday so I can have a break mid week.

We also love and use Math U See, Mystery of History, and Apologia❤. Have you tried The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts? Its free online (pdf) even the readers are on there and the answer book. We always buy it but this we are using the free version because its getting revamped and i want to purchase the hard copy of the new one for the rest of the kidds.❤

[@thesimplemamma]

yes I have used that in th past, I still have a spiral bound level three I think, butI never really enjoyed using it.

[@Katy_living_simply]

Which Atlas are you using under the Mystery of History Book? 11:50

[@thesimplemamma]

we don't have one that is recommended by the book yet, we are just using one I had on the bookshelf, but want to buy the bible time atlas to compare then and now.
