🏡 Welcome to Our Homeschool Journey: A Full Week Overview! 📚 Homeschool Our Full Week

[@MakingEverydayMagic]

As requested, here is a look at more than just Mom & Me Monday. I feel like it highlights how I balance individual teaching with both girls. I know that homeschooling more than one learner is a common pressure point. Let me know, do you have strategies that work for you? Would you like to see more on more than 1 kid homeschool?

YES!!!! filming and editing all the small bits of a day, a week is so difficult!

[@MakingEverydayMagic]

Yes! Move the camera, move the camera, move the camera.... oh and live real life😅😅😅

I think you're the homeschool mama who runs her days the most similar so me and it's so lovely to see! Thanks for such a fun video ❤

[@MakingEverydayMagic]

So fun to see a whole week of another family. Our days vary a lot! Thanks for sharing

[@MakingEverydayMagic]

Happy to! I think it's fun to get a glimpse at other homeschools.

Thank you so much for making this video! It was so helpful to see the flow of your homeschool week and how you manage your time between both of your girls. It was very inspirational to me to try to come up with ideas on how my two kids can be more independent as well.

[@MakingEverydayMagic]

Encouraging their independence is what I think makes all the difference and keeps our homeschool manageable.

Thanks for sharing! We are in Texas too!

So you also enjoy the lack of having to report. 🥳

I love the independence, but what if they just don’t work without your eyes on them?! Even handwriting… I mean mine is 6 but asks for help on it. So I sit next to him and he writes.

We've always had this be part of our routine. You may have to build up slowly. For us, it's non-negotiable. However, we've laid the foundation for that to be possible. Start slow and small, maybe a fun maze book they enjoy so that they can work 1 or 2 pages a day, and then you just check it over after. Build it up from there.

I think it’s great your kiddos work independent like that! My oldest has schooled independently since we started homeschooling at grade 5 and now she’s an 8th grader. She’s amazing at it and doesn’t want my help at all. My current 5th grader is not like that. He is not a worksheet kid and is a hands on learner and sensory kid. His school involves me a lot more. I do like the idea of using a flow for him for the few activities he does alone to increase his stamina.

I do think there's a lot to be said for birth order. I'm a first born daughter and I can see those same tendencies in my oldest.

Could you share where you found the container to hold the Math U See manipulatives? I tried ordering a similar box from Amazon, but it wasn’t large enough ☹️

[@MakingEverydayMagic]

Absolutely! This is the one I have: amzn.to/42qDjKl
