How to Enjoy Your Homeschool Day

We have things that must be done, that are often met with resistance, and it steals our homeschool joy. The solution is way simpler than you thought. I know, I know, this may seem like it's too obvious, and too simple, but...

Minimalist Homescholing Q&A: How to Travel and Homeschool
My kids are now elementary and middle school age. We've always homeschooled, and I haven't always been the best at it. My fears have yet to abate, and it makes things difficult as time. Your content gives me some ideas to consider though, and I appreciate it :)
I love this! Thank you!!
Yup...homeschooling and mommying takes up time but this year I will take more time for me❤
My top 20% read aloud books, online adapative math curriculum, our local library and customized science lessons. My children thrive from different learning sources vs an all in one curriculum.
I just started reading your book....❤❤❤ it and how it's easily breakdown how to create a minimalist homeschool --- #inspired
I'm going to use these tips. Thank you!
I love this!! Thank you so much!!
I love this idea and am thinking of testing homeschooling this summer. How can I use this program for middle and high school students?
SO true!!
This is how i think! Finally! Thank you.
Prioritised <3 ps. SO GLAD you're doing content! For some reason I thought you weren't anymore... good to see you
Wow! Again you nailed it!
This is such a great video!! I will come back to it and listen again. Thank you for telling me what I needed to hear! I need to take notes next time I listen.
I'm so glad it was insightful! Wishing you all the simple things...
'promosm'
You use the term "value" often and that, I think, is THE word that encompasses it all in terms of your message. Most loved, most valuable things. People will find ways to compare no matter what the word is but I love that you are reexamining it.
I like when you used, “Simple.” Like, you can make homeschooling SIMPLE and it doesn’t always have to be hard. Just like in your book, you say we don’t have to do ALL THE THINGS, and focus what we’re interested at the moment.
Essentialism or even intentional?
Yes!
Super duper valuable! So much wisdom here and whenever you want to share. Also INTENTIONALITY is a fab word and goal. ❤ "It's all about engineering a life you love."
"Immaculate Conception" - this actually means that Mary was conceived without sin. I'm sure that's what you meant. Otherwise your review was very helpful - thanks.
Would it be suitable for 6-7 year olds? Or over their heads?
My 8 year old loved it. Especially if the kids already know the basic story, they can follow along just fine.
I have a huge collection of crystals and rocks. They’re in my bedroom but they’re taking over. What would you suggest?
So is this one spiral notebook per child or one spiral notebook for the homeschool?
Thank you for this video! I’m new to homeschooling, and have been struggling a bit with doing things “everyone else is doing” in fear that my children won’t learn enough or what they “should” be learning at their ages.
You are so very welcome! Wishing you all the simple things this holiday season...
Excellent tips!
Glad it was helpful!
We love to have a Grinch day. Usually the end of November
Love this! I see the days we’re home as possible days to “do” something else and then I wonder why I don’t ever have time to get my house in order lol great advice, thank you!
lol. I have been there! Wishing you a wonderful season...
🎉
I agree with you. Thank you for sharing your perspective and advice on this topic.
What about daily task? In the weekly sections, it list subjects but no task with those subjects. They change weekly by week, so you would have to plan it weekly
ruclips.net/video/bkf6OC0rb30/видео.html
So would you have to make a separate notebook for each child?
So it’s one per kid?
Short answer: Yup. See other comments for more discussion on this 👇
LOVE this! So true that we're doing this (homeschool) because we want more freedom <3 and this is the way.
Hope you have a great year!
I am a retired teacher, working with 2 grandsons. I am grateful for this video. I have been searching for a way to get this started. I spent hours making plans at school and standing over copy machines. Don’t want to do that anymore. I like simple, too.
Welcome to homeschooling! I hope you have a great year!
I think this and having a good plan in place will make SUCH a difference for our homeschool this year! Thank the Lord! I'm getting so excited 😊 🤗 hope everyone has a wonderful year!
I like this concept! The wheels are turning...
Such a great video! We have tons of games and have been over whelmed with them. I got rid of so many today and passed them on to other families. Thank you!
I just found this video as im searching for advice starting our homeschooling journey. I am so glad I found this now. it makes it all feel so manageable now! thanks so much!
So glad I found your channel! I feel like it’s exactly what I need right now! This is my first year homeschooling and I’m struggling because I’m doing the things that need to get done instead of doing the things I want to do and I’m feeling drained. Thank you for this video ❤
Welcome to homeschooling! And thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a kind message :). Happy to help!
This was so helpful! I struggle to keep track of notebooks so I did it in a spreadsheet using a tab for each page you listed! I can easily add or move things around and I can find it anytime I need it as it is saved in my drive!
Best video EVER!!!! No more planners for me!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
So you only write down six weeks at a time? Then do another six when those six are up? How do you use the rest of the book for written assignments? Do you just write down what they did for the day or six weeks or do you take completes work in there?
I'm not sure that I understand all of your question, but yes, I do 6 weeks at a time, and then plan another 6 weeks because life changes. But sometimes I use the same schedule for 9 weeks, or more. You can use it for as long as it works for you. The back of the book is used as a "portfolio," which has representative samples of work.
I'm confused heavy about this as well. And understand your questions cause I have the same ones. I don't see 6 weeks of planning besides writing down lists. I would love for this to be helpful for me but I am so lost on the method.
@@KriziaWorkAtHome Yes, it is a daily routine: a to-do list of which subjects will be covered, at what time each day. This video will help with the concept of not using detailed lesson plans: ruclips.net/video/bkf6OC0rb30/видео.html
This was exactly what I was looking for thank you so much for keeping it super simple! its perfect!
I needed to hear this! Thank you so much!
I never comment on videos but I had to with this to applaud you. This is definitely a game changer for many and cost effective. I am definitely subscribing. Thanks for sharing
🔥 AMAZING! 🔥Yessir , I had been watching video after video and screen shot so many good ideas but ones I will probably never get around to 🤦replicating ! UNTIL I came across your channel and immediately felt stress melt away!😍 Love the vibe as a fellow homeschool mama and this is SIMPLE and right up my alley my lady💯🙌🔥💪💜NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!
Great!!! I’ve bought different planners and non of them helped me. Definitely, I’m doing this instead. Thank you 😊
Yes!! Thank you, you are the first person I have one across who thinks this way!! I have a lesson plan to see what subjects I would like the kids to accomplish each day. And whatever they complete I write in my planner. So much less stress on them and me 😁
Like that, makes a lot of sense, just about to finish our second year. It’s been a learning year for me as well.
This video was awesome! So helpful in really simplifying the planning process for me. Thank you!
