- Here is my schedule/routine for my homeschool day this year! I have really high hopes but as always, I hold everything VERY loosely and reassess as the year goes on. What does your schedules look like? Please share, I'm always curious how other homeschool parents structure their days!

I'm a teacher, but came home to homeschool my daughter. Just starting preschool with her now. I've always loved schedules, thanks for sharing the way you do yours!
Mrs. Hasty's Classroom That is a big transition but it sounds like you are excited! Yes, schedules are so fun to watch - I learn so much for hearing what others do!
I really, really appreciate your attitude toward routine and schedule. With growing kids, yes, routines totally change. One works for a few months and then the naptime routine changes and everything else in the day has to change around it! But it's still worth finding those routines, because I think both kids and mama do better with a flexible routine.
Seven In All I completely agree!!
So many great tips! I also have a first grader, pre-k, and a baby. And we're definitely working around the baby's naps.
Let's Homeschool Together Good I’m glad it was helpful - yep you have to work around those baby naps!
This was very helpful, we have a similar thought process. I really appreciate you sharing. Thank you! ❤
I feel like homeschool routines are a living breathing thing. Routines are always changing and modifying to be able to fit what is needed for the day, which is the beauty of homeschooling! Even tho it changes I like you feel like you need a "base plan" so that there is always an idea of where to start. I know for me, there are some days during the year that it is like "what are we doing?' LOL...the routine chart is PERFECT for those days. It's funny how other days flow seamlessly without ever glancing at the routine plan.
Knowledge By Nature I completely agree with everything you said!! I love the days when I don’t even notice the schedule and things just run smoothly 😍
Loved doing this collab with you! Your routine makes a lot of sense. I like how you thought out the time it would take to do Logic of English and adjusted accordingly. :) Oh, and congrats on passing 1000 subscribers!!!!
Julia at Home Thank you! And I loved collabing with you too ... we should definitely do it again 😀
U r the best!!!! Thank you thank you
New subscriber! I’m homeschooling my preschooler and it’s so true how much the routine changes! Especially when there’s other little ones changing nap up haha. Thanks for sharing this! I love to see how other mamas do their schedules/routines.
Fourth Wren I’m glad it was helpful - I also love watching homeschool schedule/routine videos 😀
Loved this video and looking forward to seeing your process and plans for record keeping. My process to working out our schedule for this year was very similar so it was refreshing to see a like-minded person and how their day will 🤞🏼look.
Leah Kuqo It’s nice to hear that I’m not alone in my approach 🤣
Nice to find your channel! We are a family of 6. We have a 6yo, 4yo, and 2yo twins. I never thought that I would even meet someone with the same family dynamic as mines because everyone doesn't have twins and everything has to be planned around them right now. I totally agree that I definitely went through like over 10 different routines just trying to transition and reassess with the twins constant growth, nap transitions etc lol. I like your blocks. I just made our schedule before I watched your video and it is similar to yours. But we are just in the trial in error phase. I also rise at 5am when I can, I love that hour! We just started our 2nd yr of homeschool. What are you using to help keep your twins content while you homeschool your older littles? Thankful for your channel. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Juzanne VictoriouslySaved Johnson That is AWESOME! I haven’t meet anyone either with such a similar family structure ... you would definitely understand the twin aspect of life! Twins make things unique 🤣. So glad you found my channel - I’m going to tell my husband about it because I’m constantly saying that we can’t compare to other families because no one has these ages! As for distracting the twins for homeschool, I literally just filmed a video on that .. sharing my strategies and favorite toys - should be up next Tuesday!
@@sciencemama yes we definitely can't compare to other families lol. I'm constantly like has someone done this family structure before anyone??? Lol But it's great to be able to FINALLY gleam from someone else like you and to know that I'm not alone. Another great youtuber that I like that has almost the same family structure but she has 6 children is DownHomeLemonPie. You will like her channel too. I felt like I'm the first generation with my family structure and then your video pops up lol. I look forward to your video for more ways for me to settle the girls. To God be all the glory, He knows how to connect others and He helps us to know the importance of community whether close, far, or virtual. He is such a beyond good Father. Hugs from Memphis:)
Juzanne VictoriouslySaved Johnson He does know how to connect people - I love that 🥰. I’m going to go check out DownHomeLemonPie!! Excited to here more from you in future videos!
Super helpful!! I commented before- but we have such a similar homeschool!! We’re using LOE, RightStart Math and Torchlight level 1 with my 1st grader! And I couldn’t believe it- my son’s name is Cedar too!! I’ve never heard anyone else use that name!!! 😍😍😍 How cool!!
Therese Perdue That is really cool!! We love the name and I also haven’t heard of many other kids with the name Cedar! That is pretty crazy that we also have similar curriculum tastes! What do you think of TL level 1 ... I’m always curious about it, but I love BYL!
This was really helpful. I like the way you organize to then write down a weekly schedule. I think a block schedule like that would be better for me than an hourly schedule. Right now I'm doing pre-k with my 4yo, with a 2.5yo tag-along, but I'm pregnant, so it's an odd time at our house. Starting in January we'll have a newborn, so I have no clue what our next year is going to be. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to adjust as we go, like you said.
I really do like block schedules and I feel like kids naturally pick up on the schedule that way ... and yes I'm sure it will change a bit come January, but you will find your rhythm! Congrats on your upcoming little one :)
I'm needing this right now! My oldest started first grade this week, my middle one is in prek, and my youngest is almost 2. Yesterday and today have been a little crazy!
Alina Millard I feel you on the crazy part!! I’m glad it was helpful 😀
Your schedule looks great! This is our first full year of homeschooling (we did pre-K last year). I’m nervous about establishing a schedule and fitting everything in. I’m going to try looping! Thank you for posting this! :)
Sheridan Wibeto You’re very welcome - I’m glad it was helpful!
We are new to homeschooling and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you! Can you please share/post a video of your science and social studies curricula for TK/K?
Yes! I'm actually just getting ready to film a video on the plant unit we just finished! This year I decided to dedicate the fall to science and the spring to history ... so I don't have any social studies to share at the moment.
Thank you! Looking forward to the video!!
Thanks for sharing. We just finished our first week of homeschool! Was wondering what you use for Bible study with the kids? We watch Storybook on youtube for our Bible study and then discuss. This week planning on incorporating a craft to extend discussion
Sylvia Jackman Congrats on your first week! We are in week 3 and it’s been a bit of a rocky start 🤣. We use a combination of a few different resources and just rotate between them! We do scripture memory using the Simply Charlotte Mason method - if you are interested in it, just search for it on YT, there are a number of good videos explaining it! We also use the Jesus Story Book Bible and a book called The Ology. This year we are also trying a missionary story book for kids! Hope that helps!
I have heard most LOE families take the whole First Grade to go through Level C and Level D for Second Grade :)
Of Numbers and Stars Thank you so much for your comment - LOE was starting to feel overwhelming, but the idea of stretching it over 2 years is very relieving! So thankful you commented!!
@@sciencemama No problem! They say the lessons are a lot more dense in C, so you are kind of forced to stretch it. I am learning just from reading the moms comments on Facebook :)
Hi Angie! I’m slowing going through a lot of your videos and am finding so many great ideas.
You mention your kids doing an enrichment day. I’m curious what they do? I wish we had something like that in our city, but so far I’ve only found co ops where you go with them (which I’m not against, but it doesn’t give me a break ha!)
I love our enrichment day so much - 1) because the kids have fun doing messy art/science, cooking, martial arts, drama, etc but also 2) because I get a break!! I hope you can find something similar and I'm glad you are finding the videos helpful :)
That’s so awesome! What a blessing! Yeah I would be sooo excited if we had that. But alas...will be thankful for other opportunities! Is your enrichment specifically geared towards those who homeschool?
Thanks for this! Excited to watch your other videos. We are starting 1st grade, pk4, preschool and I’ll have a baby this fall. So trying to see learn how to school since my oldest loves learning!
How long are your terms?
And when do you incorporate play? Outside time?
Hi, congrats on starting your homeschool journey! I feel like I'm constantly shifting my terms based on life - currently we are doing a 6 weeks on and 1 week off sort of schedule, which I am really liking! As for play, we don't really have a set recess but my kids play mostly in the afternoon and when it is warm they are always out back. Our backyard is right off the school room :)
Do you have incentives or ways to encourage them to do their chores? And what does their chore list look like? Also is your morning basket time done while they're eating breakfast? Do you do a PE time?
Hi! I am terrible at charts and incentives ... I have a tough time remembering to do them! Right now, the chore list is very simple ... my big kids have to make their beds, brush teeth, pick up dirty laundry, and get dressed. I've found it is easier to ask them to do extra stuff (load dishwasher, wipe table, etc) as I need help instead of making it a daily thing. Yes, most of the time I try and time morning basket with breakfast ... although sometimes it doesn't happen, so I just get out their Morning Time Activity bins to keep them at the table. No formal PE time ... our morning break or snack time is usually outside, I like to give the a bit of time to run around :) Hope that helps!
Love seeing your planning! Very helpful. And up at 5?! What time do you go to bed? I know getting myself ready before the kids helps my day but that is so tough!
Julie Quates Good, I’m glad it was helpful! Haha, I try to be asleep by 9-9:30 at the latest 😀. But all of my kids sleep through the night so it really helps that we are out of the baby/newborn phase!
hey! its a great video thank you!
may I know what is Logic word puzzles?
There are lots of different logic resources, I actually have a video on what we use here: ua-cam.com/video/XDIWZkMqkgc/v-deo.html
Looks like a wonderful plan. I just watched another video of yours that said you are working on a habit to go to bed early, I assume pretty early since you are waking up at 5am. With your kids waking up around 7am, when during the day before your own bedtime (is it 9pm?) do you do your planning and research (for school) and all that? Aside from all your regular mom tasks of cooking, cleaning, organizing and taking care of the kids outside of school? Thanks!
Haha, I’m actually thinking of putting a video together on this very topic! After having the twins I became are really systematic person - I have certain days for laundry, meal planning, cleaning etc ... and unless something crazy is going on I don’t deviate. As for homeschool prepping that is usually Sunday afternoons but I do find myself thinking about curriculum often 😀. I also find myself watching videos on other peoples tips and tricks for housework etc to try and streamline everything!!
Do you have a more recent schedule video or is this still how you plan?
I don’t quite do it like that anymore, it changes every year. Here is last years schedule: ua-cam.com/video/3d_u8m1GDzg/v-deo.htmlsi=goiyn-nqLZL5kJ4L
