      The one I’m trying for this year is just a random planner I found at TJMaxx. It is basically just a notebook with the date written at the top of each page. So far I have only been homeschooling 1 kiddo and I liked the boxes on yours for each subject area. This year I am adding in my 2nd kiddo and I couldn’t figure out how to use the boxes anymore. 😅

      They can do the lessons independently! There were a few lessons where there was a game as the opening activity that could either be done with the parent or another sibling, but for the most part it is pretty open and go for the student to use on their own!

    • @pillarsandpress
      @pillarsandpress Місяць тому

      Hi! I’m not close to Bedford. We are further south. While I think it’s a joy to be with my kids and homeschool them, I don’t want to pretend that homeschooling is a piece of cake either. Homeschooling definitely has difficulties. It can take a lot of work, but that’s why it’s really important to consider your “why” behind homeschooling and always keep it in mind as your foundation when it gets hard. That being said, it’s also SO MUCH fun to be the one to see your kids learn and grow! Especially kindergarten. I LOVE teaching my kids kindergarten. It’s very low pressure and there are so many fun learning ideas! I’ll have a rising kindergartener this fall too, so definitely check out my instagramI! And check my homeschooling in Virginia video!

    Thank you so much for the reminder! I was also homeschooled from 1st through 12th grade and I was NEVER home. I played basketball with a homeschool Christian athletic program and absolutely loved it. After high school I went to Massage Therapy school and then out of state to a Bible Collage and everyone was so surprised when I told them I was homeschooled. The average homeschooler being socially awkward is such a huge misconception.

    I'm coming to the end of our 1st year homeschool. Just 1 kid in school so far, but have a toddler and infant. So its been tough. I started the year planning things out weekly and then after many times not getting to what I thought we would and postponing lesson plan over and over and needing to rewrite I started to just wing it everyday and write down what we actually accomplished. That worked out much better that way. I just found it way too stressful and frustrating to attempt sticking to a schedule and lesson plans with a 2yr old and infant. Plus the lack of sleep with the baby.

    • @pillarsandpress
      @pillarsandpress 3 місяці тому

      Yes! Its so easy to plan all of these fun learning ideas when the kids are asleep, but then the morning comes and reality hits and there just isn't a way to get it all done! I hope by writing down all the things you did do, you've been able to see just how much you ARE actually getting done. Homeschooling with a toddler is no easy task. You've got this mama!
