The EASY Way to Plan Your Homeschool Year | Things You NEED To Know

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

What other tips or words of encouragement would you share with new homeschooling moms as they plan their first year??

[@juliecapello9402]

I would say, at least for me, I have found I need a schedule to be accountable to myself and my kids and their schooling. But I also know who’s boss here: I own the schedule; it does not own me.

My advice: Say "YES" just a little bit more... That looks different to all of course, nonethless- try it! ☀️

[@heidibee476]

This was just the motivation and content I needed TODAY. I had planned to "plan" yesterday, and then life happened and I had to shift to today...I was lamenting it, but then I hopped on KZbin and here was your video! The Lord was all over this for me - wish I could smash that like button 1,000 times for you! Can't wait to watch the entire series. Thank you so much!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Aww, thanks Heidi! So glad it was encouraging!

I ❤ the freedom homeschooling gives us in our schedule. I use a similar Year at a Glance calendar. My brain just needs to see the entire year as a whole. In paper. With colored squares. 😂 My husband off work all the federal holidays, so I mark all of those, in addition to non-federal holidays that we celebrate. I've learned that when daddy is home for the day my kids want to be with him. So, I plan differently for those days. I also block off the days I know will be used for extra curricular activities - like Scout campouts, and church youth group events. I love planning -- it's the following that I have problems with. 😂

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Yes!! It’s so great to be able to take those family days off together! And 😂 I totally feel you on the follow through on planning - or lack thereof. 😅😂

[@amybowman5686]

Thank you for creating this video!! I've been doing this the hard way. 🤣 I get a planner and have never thought to use the year at a glance page. So I have to flip through every single month and counts lose my place count again it's a mess. 😃 So this is great!!!

Your videos are always a blessing to me. This one was short en sweet, easy to understand. Cant't wait to see your next video.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Glad it was helpful!

Starting to plan our new school year (Southern Hemisphere ) and needed some motivation - so glad I saved these videos.

[@shannonperry5166]

That is such great advice about doing a slow start! We took time off for the summer and mom AND kids need to ease into the daily routine. :)

[@MatthewsAdventures156]

Your videos are always a delight! I was just sharing with my husband today how interesting it is that our school schedule changes 4 times a year with the seasons. I love that and enjoy it so much. Last year we started making our 5th day an unschooling day and it was life changing for us!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Love that!! We did unschool Friday’s last year as well and loved it!

I am planning in months and weeks, but days seems pretty specific! I never know when an illness is suddenly going to pop up or what have you. I just try to divide the content into approximately 36 weeks and then the leftover weeks of school are a buffer for sick days and room to catch up.

[@laurenreichow5427]

I’m so very glad to see you back!!!! It’s good to hear your encouraging voice!! Welcome back!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

[@tiffanys935]

I absolutely love your videos. I have been staring at my planner for days. I have been so overwhelmed and honestly normally a huge planner. However, this year, I have been so reluctant. This was so motivating and I cannot wait to see the next in this series! 🥰

[@aleciahenderson5450]

I’m a planner, but your videos have been so helpful in planning our homeschool calendar! I’m in my third year of homeschooling, so still pretty new at this! ♥️

Hi! I used your free academic calendar printable last year. Do you have one for this year by chance ?

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Hi Eva, I’m sorry. I don’t have one for this year. You could try searching online for a 2023-2024 academic calendar and maybe one will pop up. 🤞🏼

[@growingupbaseball8796]

Thank you. Love your insights and tips! @The Eclectic Homeschooler

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]
