We know what it’s like to be in the trenches as a homeschool Mom. Sometimes you need a little encouragement or a few fun tricks from knowledgeable homeschool parents who have real experience balancing school & family with cooking, cleaning & chauffeuring, or even working outside the home.
One of the bonus parts of homeschooling is that our back to school shopping is much less involved than heading back to a traditional classroom. We do our shopping on an as-needed basis, and keep a small supply of notebooks on hand for various projects that come up.
We are starting our 6th year of homeschooling this fall with 5th grade, 4th grade and 1st grade. Our theme this year will be Medieval history. I can’t believe its year 6 already, in so many ways I am still learning as I go.
Our space evolved as the kids transitioned to elementary school. When we bought our current house 2 years ago, a dedicated school space was a priority, and I knew that our school room had to accommodate my four school space non-negotiables: I wanted a reading couch, computer desks and both independent and community work spaces.
Welcome to Monday in our homeschool! It’s fun to see what real life looks like for someone else, so come take a peek inside a normal day for us. We are in our 5th year of homeschool, this year we have 4th grade, 3rd grade, and Kindergarten going on. Our homeschool this year includes online classes, family subjects, special needs.
