  • We have two weeks left of school until we stop for summer break. I am taking time to put together portfolios with each of my kids. As I look over what we covered this year, it always amazes me to see how much we've done.
    Sometimes in the day-to-day as homeschool moms, we think we aren't getting that much done, but when you step back to look at it all, it's a LOT!
    At the end of the year, if you doubt whether you've done enough, I challenge you to get out a piece of paper and write down everything you covered this year.
    Write down...
    -what you did in Morning Time
    -what you memorized
    -your kids' independent work
    -books you read to them
    -books they read on their own
    -co-op classes and projects
    -extracurricular activities
    -field trips
    -life skills they learned
    If you take the time to write this down, I guarantee that you will be surprised when you remember things you completely forgot that you did.
    Go ahead...take the time to write down what you did this year!

      I agree ;) it's very thorough and first hand account. I hate watching homeschool channels where the mom just literally sits in front of the camera and just talks 😆 like show some action or books or something!

    Just want to drop a note to say that I have really appreciated your videos the past couple months. I only have 4 kids but my oldest is entering high school next year and my youngest has extra needs so the span of what I am teaching has become much bigger. I have gleaned a lot from how you structure your day and how you both include the older kids but also allow space for their higher learning needs.

    Always a pleasure to watch, loved hearing some sound and seeing your handsome youngest son in the end hehe. Interesting to hear and see about the work you're doing outside. I hope you'll catch some of it in your videos. Well done for all the schoolwork this year!

    I backwards lesson plan so I can see what we've accomplished. It helps me stay focused on all that we've done and not on what has been left undone (which is never as much as it seems like it is). So, I write things down as my kids complete them instead of having written plans to complete. Except for my high schoolers...I print out plans each semester and they work through them independently.
    This video is such a great, real view of what homeschooling looks like in a large family! Love it!

    • @OurLifeHomeschooling
      @OurLifeHomeschooling  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes! I love this...so true! I do a similar method to this in our Morning Time notebook...writing down the pieces/art prints after we study them. There really is something to writing it down afterward that makes you feel more accomplished!
      Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

      Ooh thanks for that input! I use Seterra for all my Geography, but I will keep that in mind because I can see that being a great daily visual. I was actually thinking about adding catechisms this year so that one is on my list!

    Really enjoyed this video : ) To make portfolios easier, I put *everything* in the portfolio binder, as it's done. Then, at the end of the year, I simply do any necessary removal and organization, without having to hunt things down, or remember what was done months ago. It serves as both a schoolwork portfolio and an annual scrapbook of sorts - since I put in things like movie tickets and stage play programs, etc. At the end of the year, I prong my typed list of completed work (books read, resources used, etc).

    Also, i think on a previous video you mentioned seterra. Do you purchase the ad free access? How do you have your kids utilize it?

    • @OurLifeHomeschooling
      @OurLifeHomeschooling  3 місяці тому

      We don't purchase anything. I think there may be ads, but from what the kids have mentioned, they are pretty minimal.

    I’m very interested in the binders you use with all the memorized works and people and composers and such. Is that a template you made? Is it from a specific curriculum?
