“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Galatians 6:9
“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalm 55:22
“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.” Psalm 89:1
“And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Do you have any other tips for homeschooling multiple kids? 🤗📚
I was thinking mayb I can give them all an hour of my attention while the others watch a movie or occupy them with something els while I tend to one child at a time
Extremely helpful! Just sent this video to my husband so he can be in prayer with me for what I desire to implement from this video. Which was everything lol our children are 7,4 & 2. Thank you for sharing
I’m so glad it could be helpful for your current season! They grow so quickly. Have a great homeschool year. 🤗💕
Great info for our first year homeschooling family ❤
These are great tips, Deanna! I needed some of these reminders ❤️ I need to get back on getting my older ones to help out the younger ones! 😊
I need these reminders too! 🤣👏🏻
Me too!!
I am beginning to combine teach this year 4th, 5th and 6th grades in a small school in The Bahamas. Thank you fir this great, helpful video! I look forward to digging into your other content.
Thanks this was a great video. The tip about educational screens I think I need to bring this back.
It’s nice when you can use it strategically 😉👍🏻
Great tips! We rotate our olders ones with the younger ones. This ensures special sibling and one on one time with the little ones PLUS helps Momma to be available for the other children!
Yes! That’s so smart. It’s always sweet to see my big kids serving or playing with their younger siblings. 🤗💕
Thank you so much. This was encouraging as well as helpful!
I’m so glad! Take care 🤗
Thank you for sharing this!!
Thanks Jaimie. Hope you and your newest little guy are doing well. 💕
So excited about this video! We have almost exactly the same age of kids!
I hope it’s encouraging! 🤗
When rotating older siblings with younger (oldest to youngest than middle to middle kids is best) ensure its only for 15-20 minutes. I also sit the reader kids beside the non readers so they can quickly help with a question on a task for each other. I use visual dividers (tall books lol) when they need to work quietly undisturbed and quite often with headphones and mind mend music playing the background-the productive work music, or other instrumental music. I try to keep the littles at the table while teaching the oldest because its easier to supervise and keep fights from breaking out when they are within arms reach. Playdough and other sensory play (water colour paints) are great for younger kids WHILE the oldest need help with tough math questions or time to wrap up their more elaborate projects. Unit studies are wonderful, recently we were studying ancient egyptian life. The older (gr 4 &6) were writing reports on an ethical question about hippos. The younger 2 (prek, K) learned all about hippos, dictated 3-5 facts they learned, they printed a key word for each fact sentence and coloured a picture of a hippo. Big hit. :) Some days are smooth, others are bumpy, eventually we all get there.
Thanks so much, these are great suggestions! 🤗
This is Great! Thank you so much! Our 4 kiddos are the exact same ages as yours ❤ Fall 2021 will be our 1st year homeschooling and multiple grades and levels of learning was my biggest fear.
It can feel intimidating and some days are more smooth than others, but it is totally doable! I remind myself that the student to teach ratio in our home is much small than a brick and mortar school. 😉 I hope you all have a wonderful school year!
Great tips, thank you 😊
Thank you for this vid
I have a 10, 8, 5 and 2. For language and math I work one on one , while the rest keep the 2 year old from getting into things 😆
That sounds very relatable 🤣👏🏻
This I'm going to need to give this a try because I'm getting stressed out.
Great tips!
Thanks Erica! 🤗💕
Great tips! Would you mind sharing about the piano app that you use?
It’s the “Simply Piano” app 🤗
Thank you so much!
I liked your tip of grouping kids💜
I’m glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching! 🤗
This is great! During your morning time do you do a little bit of each family subjects (history, science etc) or have specific days for to focus on those separately?
Currently we alternate days for science and history. Generally we do Science Mon/Wed and History Tue/Thur. 🤗 I’ve done it where we’ve done a little bit of both everyday, but I prefer having them on alternating days.
I have 4 kids same age as yours and i am new to homeschooling
Awesome! I know it can feel daunting in the beginning, but in time you’ll become more confident in homeschooling and what works best for your family. 🤗👍🏻
@@CalledtoCultivate Yes! we use Masterbooks for everything right now but im learning more and plan to look into MATH u SEE
I got three 1 baby and a 3 and a 6 yr old my baby does not nap so i can try and so the play with rhe baby with my daughter to teach one and i loved thei pad one too
That can be challenging with so many littles! As cliche as it sounds, they don’t stay little long. I hope you have a great school year! 🤗
I have 4 kids similar ages to yours, we currently cyber school our kids and would love to switch to homeschooling but I’m so nervous. You seem to have figured out a good method. Can I ask… when you say Units that you do with multiple kids do you use something that helps you plan them or do you plan them yourself? I guess my biggest concern is planning, how much do I have to plan myself, I’m worried about my ability to do it. Oh and juggling 4 kids lol
You could certainly plan your own unit studies from scratch. Like if you chose dinosaurs; then get library books, shows, coloring sheets, and crafts to go along with what you’re learning. But many curriculum companies have unit studies pre planned and ready for you to use with kids of various ages. Two companies that come to mind are The Good and the Beautiful and Gather Round Homeschool. I don’t currently use any short unit studies, but I do teach the same history and science curriculum to all the kids. I have a general idea how long it will take to complete it in a year and then I do what’s called “reverse planning”. Basically I write down what we accomplish each day as a means of record keeping, so I don’t need to create lesson plans in advance. I hope that helps! 🤗
@@CalledtoCultivate That definitely helps! Thanks so much!!
Hi, what's the name of the math program that your friends use?
Teaching Textbooks. It’s for grade three and higher. 🤗
Coming cause I definitely need help I have 3 kids 3 dif levels
That was me this year as well! It has its moments where everyone needs me at once, but overall we made it work and found ways to help our days run more smoothly.
@@CalledtoCultivate yesss wheww this is my first year and boy oh boy it definitely has its days I have a 6 year old 10 and 11 year old and some of the lessons i teach them I'm relearning right along with them lol
💯 Relearning things with them for the pure enjoyment of learning without the pressure of performing for a test, that’s one of my favorite parts of homeschooling. 🤗
I really want to homeschool im a bit nervous.. Where can we find material have a 5, 10,8, and 12
Hey Nena, it does feel a bit unnerving getting started homeschooling. I’d recommend you visit the HSLDA to see what the laws are for homeschooling where you live. hslda.org/legal From there the options vary widely. Let me share my playlist of videos that has several for new homeschoolers. That might help you learn about homeschool approaches and types of curriculum. th-cam.com/play/PLNmeoBEWBlLWNHuWveR9F60JbVlpiLdbu.html
