Finding this video was truly a blessing. a few problems I have faced and came across, I am late for Registration and have my reasons and yet your convictions has a similar setting to mine. god bless you for the time put into helping other Homeschoolers. thank you very much.🙏🙏
Thank you sisi, Ive managed to fill in the forms. I praying for the Lord to straighten crooked paths ahead of me, as I am startin this journey. Nolitha🌻
Thank you so much for this , I am in a process of changing my Grade R from private school to homeschooling for the rest of the year hope they don’t reject my application🙏
Don't worry, they don't just reject applications, they would give you an opportunity to correct whatever they need you to, and as far as I know, you don't need to register until the child is in grade 1, I recently registered my daughter.
It has just been recently passed in the bela bill for grade r to be compulsory however the forms available only start from grade 1. So keep on checking if the forms are available for grade r or alternatively email the dbe and enquire with them.
Thank you so much, such relevant and informative video. Advice please, my daughter is turning 5 in December and I've been teaching her since she was 3 years is there age restrictions or I can register her for grade 1 for next year also is there an assessment I can make her take to make sure I didn't overlook anything and see if she is ready for grade 1?
Hi Vanessa, according to the recent bela bill updates the dbe wants homeschool families to register from grade R but the forms on their site were not updated to accomodate that. Double check to see if you can register grade r now. When it comes to assessments I made a video that can help you, its "how to homeschool for free" and another one is "how to do assessments without a curriculam provider" I share what is available for you as a grade r homeschool mom. Alternatively you can purchase assessment package only on the Impaq website so you can have a report as well.
Thank you soo much I am really glad to have come across your channel ,I will be using your guids and advices . how do you teach 3 kids at once that is what stresses me ,I have grade 5,3 and R. What other help can I hire to reduce my work load in terms of teaching the kids by myself. honestly am scared 😂😂😂
Hi Julia, yes the thought of teaching multiple kids can be daunting. To simplify I teach 1 to 2 subjects a day. Grade 1 -3 have only 4 subjects so I do 1 subject a day and leave Friday for fun projects, art, field trips or catch up if needed. I also have a grade 5 learner she does 1 subject on Monday and 2 on the other days. And we tackle a weeks worth of work for each subject per week. So on a Maths day everyone is doing math which makes it easy on me, I don't follow a regular school timetable. Give it a go first and figure out what is challenging for you to teach then you can consider outsourcing that.
I was thinking that maybe you can go to local schools and look for kids who excel in their work and ask them to tutor the child. I dont know how practical this will be. But if you can delevop a relationship woth their parenta it would be great, the child will have something to be busy with.
Hi Refilwe thank you so much i am really grateful i came across you channel this can only be god you truly are a god sent ❤❤ i am currently using cambrilearn as my curriculum provider for my daughter for grade R CAPS but wont be able to afford next year for grade 1 i am still looking for affordable online platforms i can employ. i just have 1 question should i go ahead and plan a classroom setup and if so what are the expectations?
Hi Tebogo, glad I could be of help. To God be all the glory. I wouldn't advise creating a classroom setup, it is really not necessary. I do advice that you create an environment in your home that inspires learning for example a bookshelf in the living room or put books your daughter can flip through on the coffee table, an art station maybe, puzzles and a lot of play, playing is how kids learn. If you have a printer or don't mind diy you can homeschool grade 1 for free thats my plan for my daughter who will be in grade 2 next year. I can create a video to show my process if you are interested.
@@refilwe-matshivha 🙏 yes please create another video 🙏🙏🙏 and yes i have a printer and wi-fi and i'm really wanting free homeschooling it will really relieve me of the burden of affordability and being unemployed thank you cc ❤ god bless you and may he bless this channel really appreciated a lot.🙏🙏

Thank you for this helpful video, please also advise if I need to register my child for grade R or do I only have to start registering from grade 1?
