Homeschool Morning Time ***What We're Using ***How We Schedule It All

[@nanaslife7911]

The beauty of homeschooling is that you can make adjustments to benefit your child as needed.. I remember dreading my last 2 classes in high school. My mind had tapped out for the day and I had a hard time sitting in my desk the last 2 hours. Your kids are blessed to have you ❤

Hi there! I am on my hubby's account 😂 But my name is Lauren and I have watched so many of your videos...so thankful for you sharing your experience and wisdom! I was watching one of your videos and you mentioned work boxes that you would use for your younger child while working with the olders...im not able to find it now and would love to watch it again. Could you please provide the link, or name of video?? Thank you! 🙏

Hi! Thanks for watching! I’m happy to hear that my videos have been helpful. 💗 I’m not sure which video you’re referring to, but I’m thinking it may be the one on Sensory Bins. If you have little ones in the mix, this post has some tips along with a link to the video on Sensory Bins and other preschool resources. Hope it helps! ☺️ www.nurturingconnectionshomeschool.com/post/10-tips-for-homeschooling-with-babies-toddlers-preschoolers-in-the-mix

This video just came to mind. Not sure if this is it, but I do go over work boxes here. ☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3vCZmpvrK6Hjassi=S0JpjX61Emegvwzo

Hi we have that set from Generations Christian series and the books, my son is 11, he’ll be 11 1/2 by Aug, it looks great. But my feelings were it would be over his ability using the workbook, it looked advance esp the essays at the end of each unit. What are your thoughts? Is this generally aimed for 11-12 year olds?

[@nurturingconnectionshomeschool]

I think it really depends on the child. Of course, you can always adapt it to best meet the needs of your child. I’m personally using these as read-alouds for my 15, 12, and 9 year-old children. We use the workbook as a resource. Sometimes we do the questions orally, sometimes we fill out the answers. I use the essays for the older two and the life integration projects for all of them as applicable. I also add activities that I think about along the way, like geography crafts for Switzerland when we were reading Heidi and a Brave Book on communism when I introduced God’s Big Smuggler. Make it work for you and enjoy the journey. 💗

Do you have a video that shows your loop scheduling

[@nurturingconnectionshomeschool]

I don’t think I’ve specifically talked about loop scheduling aside from what I mentioned here. I can put together a video on it and get it up soon. Thanks!

Love your content! Do you have a video or blog post on how you teach language arts and writing? Having used MFW, did you use their Language Lessons for Today and Writing Skills? Did you feel like it was enough? I'm also a former teacher and, while I'm trying to trust the process, it seems a little too gentle. I have enjoyed it, but was wondering what your thoughts are since you're a little further down the road than I am. Thanks!

@@amys2205 I feel like we’ve used SO many things for ELA, including curriculum that I wrote for my children. My background was in ELAR, so trusting the process for me was very difficult as well. Two of my learners require more explicit and hands-on approaches without all the excess, and it’s been difficult finding a good fit for them. We tried MFW LLFT and WSFT early on, but it didn’t have enough practice for my child. Looking back, it may have really worked for my middle child, who loves reading and writing and is currently using Writing Strands, which is similar. I’ve heard great things about MFW ELA, but I personally think it would be better suited for a child that learns writing more easily. I’m hoping to put together a video soon on ELAR and some things we’ve used along the way. I’ve shied away from it a bit because of a-l-l the things we’ve had to put together to make it work, but I’ll see what I can do. ☺️ Thanks for your feedback. 💗
