How's Homeschooling REALLY Going?!

[@onecaffeinatedmom]

We’re definitely eclectic lol I like that way. There are even days when I do morning basket and then the kids do unschooling the rest of the day. That’s awesome that your husband will help with homeschooling! I love it when my husband steps in to even do reading aloud. It’s so helpful.

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

😄I love it! Right?! Having our husband's help can be so encouraging!!!

[@CalmintheChaosHomeschool]

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

[@schultesweeties]

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

Yes! I'm super thankful for him! The kids of course love it too 🥰

[@herhomemakingheart]

I love when we learn from our kids books too!! I always feel like I'm learning from their read alouds and things lol! 😊

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

Absolutely! Win win!! Me too!

[@herhomemakingheart]

It sounds so neat that your hubby wants to be super involved in school that way! I think that sounds so lovely❤❤

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

[@crazychappellchaos9910]

Woohoo halfway there! 😂

[@crazychappellchaos9910]

I’m very eclectic in my homeschool style

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

Yess!! 😂 Nice! It's nice to be flexible and try different things!

It’s so wonderful that your husband and you are working together on this! We are homeschooling for the first time this year and my husband and I work as a team & have found it so rewarding 🤗 We both work out of the house, but he has a lot of flexibility with his schedule. we have come up with a very creative schedule to make it work for us! 😂 He does lot of the teaching and I do the organizing, grading and record keeping. We Re using the Abeka curriculum for everything. We live in PA so we have to have a portfolio and evaluation when homeschooling.

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

That's sounds brilliant! I love hearing this! Great job! I hope y'all keep working well together!

[@CalmintheChaosHomeschool]

We are enjoying the Tuttle Twins (the original series) this year :) it’s nice to hear about the history book.

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

That's so awesome that y'all have the books too! They're so great! If you like those, you'd love the history book!!

[@rebekahian]

I've been doing the star system since I saw your video for it. It's working so great! Thank you so much for the idea❤️

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

Yay!! I'm so glad to hear that!! That's awesome!! 👏 👏🏼

[@onecaffeinatedmom]

Also, we live near Savannah (small world) and I used to have a photography business when we lived in South Carolina a few years ago! ❤

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

No way!!! That's so cool!! What kind of photography did you do?

[@onecaffeinatedmom]

@@TheJohnsonCrew I did family and wedding! ☺️

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

@@onecaffeinatedmom That's so cool!!

[@worldofweeze]

I feel like depending on the week and depending on the day, I am a complete mix of all of the homeschool mom styles😂 We have the Tuttle Twins series but I didn’t know about the History book! It looks great! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

😂that's awesome! I'm so glad y'all have the Tuttle Twins books! Aren't they brilliant? The history book is so cool!!

[@CalmintheChaosHomeschool]

We do something similar for the reward system too :)

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

That's awesome!! Such a game changer!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

My kids love our prize box. I need to stick it with some of the cool things you have in yours 😂

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

That's awesome!! The Dollar Tree is where it's at!! 😂🙌

[@herhomemakingheart]

I've heard a lot of good things about unschooling but I'm not sure if I understand correctly either but I always feel like my kids would just want to watch beanie boo videos all day lol!! I try to incorporate interests as well. I think I'm more eclectic as well! We aren't full on traditional homeschoolers but I like the structure and stability for LA & Math especially.

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

I'm totally with you! I don't feel like I could do without a curriculum for LA & Math!

[@worldofweeze]

Our youngest just turned 4 and our oldest just turned 10 in October. All sorts of mixed feelings about it❤

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

Oh no way!! That's so cool! I totally get that! My sisters and some of my friends are having babies now, so I'm soaking up some baby snuggles with them!! ❤️

[@gracecurry8947]

I love the idea of making a list of the thing the kids can do, could you share it with me? My husband is also jumping in on homeschooling or kids yay 👏🏼 thank you for all your great ideas!

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

Have you ever read Sage Homeschooling? It is a wonderful book about natural learning and unschooling.

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

I haven't! Thank you for the recommendation! I'll have to look it up!!

[@worldofweeze]

I’m always reminding my kids that God have them each other to be best friends, forever. So, go play😂 Not that I ever push them away from spending time with me but, sometimes mom and dad have to get things done! Lol

[@TheJohnsonCrew]

Lol! Exactly! I like that!
