Easy HOMESCHOOL ROUTINE | Daily Homeschool Routine 4 KIDS

[@briannamartin2227]

I love this!! This makes me feel less scared of homeschooling! God has called me to bring my children home from PS and I'm quite terrified that I am not qualified to teach them but God keeps telling me I can do all things through Him who gives me strength! Thank you for sharing your relaxed and easy schedule!!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear this was encouraging for you! It's a big step to trust the Lord for homeschooling, but you've got this! Check out this other video I did a while ago, I talk about how we are best qualified to teach our kids! ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/boW6m2WIZ5imj5I

[@lisalinder2697]

Brianna, I hope your homeschool journey/adventure has been going well so far. I just wanted to encourage you that not only will he give you strength, He will also carry through to completion the good work He begins in you and your homeschool!

[@heathermantecon3818]

I agree. I have been contemplating and thinking what everyone else probably thinks as far as “can I do this?” This video really helps. Thank you!

[@SimplyKrystlee]

your comment really encouraged me! thank you for sharing this. I've been struggling with the idea of homeschooling my 4 kids.

[@stephaniethompson7995]

THANK YOU FOR CUTTING THROUGH ALL THE CHATTER AND GETTING TO THE POINT. nicely presented and helpful!

[@SimplyKrystlee]

love that you mentioned how important free time is. absolutely love your advice to "pray through your plan" & to pay attention to yourself if you feel stressed then something needs to change. Your video was so helpful in helping me decide if homeschooling with be right for us. thank you so much

[@IslaSaona1]

You had me at “Get their wiggles out”. 🙂 I’m always saying that to my kids.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

So many wiggles around here too! ;)

[@jennifersedo8241]

Thank you! I really appreciate that you showed your schedule because it helped me get a visual of what that looks like. Your example gives me hope in that I too can make a similar schedule for our week without having to write down a detailed "minute by minute" schedule...I need to be able to go with the flow of how things are going in the day. I'm not homeschooling yet, but I will be for this upcoming school year (Kindergarten).

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Hi Jennifer! I’m so glad it was helpful! And yes - you can do it! 😉 For just starting kindergarten, my advice would be to do way less than this even. You should have no more than 1-2 hours of active instruction on your part. Most of the day should just be living life (and talking about it), doing fun educational activities, reading together, and playing. It’s so important to not try to do too much too soon! Children need to be playing and they learn so much in their play! ☺️

[@keeperofmyhome]

I agree with the “routine vs schedule” or rhythm 👏🏽💕

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

It totally makes a difference!

[@anacabrera5776]

I'm new to your channel and new to homeschooling. You are such a blessing. My husband and I find your videos so helpful and encouraging. We love how you LOVE homeschooling, makes us look forward to our year. God bless you and your family.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

So glad to hear that! Best wishes!

[@MsZarate88]

I'm so totally with you

[@ariesrgr8303]

God Bless you! Thank you for posting this! With COVID so many schools shut down this previous school year and will be closed next year (the fall season) so I am doing as much as I can to educate myself on how to equip myself so that I can guide my son on this new path of homeschooling.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

❤️ There a lot of people in your same shoes this year! My biggest piece of advice is to start slow. You can always add more later, but focus on building relationships with your children and give them plenty of time to explore their own interests. I know a lot of families that take their kids out of the school environment to homeschool go through a period of “de-schooling.” I highly recommend the book “Teaching From Rest” by Sarah Mackenzie. Best wishes and God bless!

[@Mishwelly]

I feel like I’m really gonna try on the more relaxed style. I have 4 and this is my third year of trying to teach everyone at their own level and my kids are 4,6,8,12 and it is exhausting! I and my husband also work which is an added challenge so I’m really grateful for your videos.

[@mandilovelady6470]

You are going to be my HERO for this year!! I need your videos!! This is our first year homeschooling a 6 year old and an 8 year old!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

You are so kind! YOU are my hero for being willing to jump in with both feet and try homeschooling with your kids! Blessings to you and your family!

[@jessiedschuh]

Thank you so much! We recently decided to homeschool after 2 years in private school. My daughter will be starting 1st grade this upcoming school year, and this gives me a great idea of what and how I should plan. ❤️

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Wishing you the best of luck as your start your homeschooling journey!

[@breynolds7196]

Jessie, how is your HSing journey going? My daughter did private preschool & kindergarten. We have decided to HS this year. Quick question, What was a homeschool win for you? What didnt work so well? Just gathering any info that would help me succeed my 1st year.🙃

[@jessiedschuh]

@@breynolds7196 It has actually gone really well! My approach has been doing certain subjects on certain days. We only do about 45-60 mins of actual book work. The rest of the learning is in activities, projects, outdoor play, etc. My biggest tip is using a desk calendar, and plan everything a month ahead of time. That way, you don’t even have to think about it. I also gather supplies for projects, etc. 😊

[@estherhb2197]

Wow, it’s very impressive Wonder Woman 👩 I have got 5,4 and 2 really don’t know how to homeschool them. Thank you for sharing your schedule.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

I remember those days well! Busy, busy, busy! It can definitely be a challenge but the good news is that you really don't have to do a lot at that age! Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to "keep up" with the next kid, it's actually better for them developmentally to not force school work too early. I'm a big proponent of no formal lessons until age 5 or 6, and even then, it's very minimal (like no more than 1-2 hours a day broken up in several increments). Spend time reading great books together, make games out of learning letters and colors and shapes, play outside, explore and enjoy each other! The little years should be mostly about learning through play. Lessons can come later as they are ready for it! Best of luck!

[@suzannebenitez9720]

[@jellib.110]

My kids will also tell you that 10 a.m. is snacktime!! They reinforce this more than anything else throughout the day, haha.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Can’t miss snack time! 😆

[@nicolegilleland1032]

This speaks to me so much as our homeschool philosophy is very similar. Where I struggle is the transitions from free time back to “school”. My kids would listen to audiobooks and play creatively all day if I let them. Any tips?!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

That can be a challenge. I'm a big fan of doing school together over snack time. Maybe prepare a snack and then call them to the table for snack time and see if they come running! 😉 Or trying giving them a 5 minute heads up that it's almost time to get back to doing some school work. Good luck!

[@JessicaO490Z]

You make it sound so easy it made me relax just listening. 😅

[@krburke91]

I did a little draft earlier today of a new routine I wanted to try out (Mainly so that I put subjects we’ve been leaving out at the beginning of the day) then I found the video and my draft is identical to the routine in this video ! That’s wild. I am glad to see it working for a seasoned homeschooling family (I’m only a few months into it for the first time). I look forward to getting this routine started and giving it a go. I’m still working on learning to plan ahead rather than going day by day and learning more about unit studies.

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

❤️ Love it! 👯‍♀️ Best of luck to you!

[@rvthrivin5853]

New subscriber here, I really appreciate your tips! We are a homeschool family too. It was beginning to get overwhelming for me with kids in 3 different grades. They are doing Abeka, so the work load is heavy. I am going to try to implement some of your tips! Thank you!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

Hi and welcome! Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video. :) It can be overwhelming with more than one kid for sure! I hope you are able to find a better balance!

[@juliequates9529]

Love your videos!

[@pbsmart4487]

Thank you, Erin. It's so helpful to see how others do it. I'm intrigued by the podcast. Maybe another video on some of your favorite podcasts for you and/or the kids? I would love to also know how you juggle the stations time. Do you have the math lesson, copy work, etc. written out on a schedule for them so they know what to do. I find my kids just waiting for me if I don't have a written individual agenda for them; definitely need to work on the independence and problem solving. And, how do you juggle it when they all need your help at once while working on different subjects/assignment? In some ways a class of 30 was easier because we were all working on the same assignment together; I just need to transfer how I did that in the classroom to home with just 2. Ha! Anyway, we can talk through these details, but thought I'd put the questions out there for future videos; I'm sure I'm not the only one with these questions. Love seeing how things work for your sweet family!

[@TheEclecticHomeschooler]

PB Smart Thanks, Beth! I’m toying with the idea of doing a day in the life video to show us actually doing everything once we get back into a better groove... 🤔 I usually just tell them what they need to be working on and then kind of make my way around to whoever needs help on their independent work. They are able to skip problems that they need help with and keep going until I can get to them to help. Our biggest challenge in getting anything done is actually our 3 year old. 😆

I use tgatb math/ela, master books Bible n geo, genesis science with tgatb units being inserted n handwriting. Tg atb history.. We have abeka readers for comprehensive check, imagination station for fluency/ vocabulary and a read aloud. We have so many learning games too. I need to insert recorders to play, devotions/ case for christ and I've given writing to night zookeeper. They have their personal readers too. I have Shakespeare and other add ins for next year so I need to get this together. Craziness I know. No co ops.🤪

[@kennakat7156]

I personally feel like religion and school should be separate unless you're teaching your kids about all the different religions/beliefs, not just your religion/beliefs. Let them have the opportunity to choose what they want to believe, not just focus on what you believe and think they should believe as well. Other than that I like your videos/advice

[@a.c.9807]

It is our job as parents to instill beliefs in our children, and that usually looks like what the parent believes in. If you teach a child about any and all religions, you're just going to confuse them.
