I was thinking about homeschooling my kids if I ever have any. Since public schools are getting worse and out of control.
This was such a joy to see! Your children look so happy and engaged, and you are so kind and patient. I just began homeschooling and I was concerned that we would drive each other nuts, but it's been such a blessing for my family & we are much closer. Thank you so much for sharing! You are inspiring to me. I bought your book and lots of your curriculum. I've been watching your videos and reading your site, soaking up all of the info lol! I'm so appreciative of you taking so much time to help moms like me! God bless you!
I want to be home schooled so bad cuz it is a lot I am in middle school and I hate haveing to worry about how u look all the time and being judge no madder what u can do school in my pjs and not be judge my grandma is a teacher and dates that she would home school me but I don't know
This is my 1st year homeschooling and your videos have helped me tremendously. It was an honor watching your day with the kids. I look forward to more videos.
Thanks for letting us into your homeschool! I love that you're using different curricula for your kids. We went eclectic and use curricula from different companies as well. I totally recognized MUS for math since we're using the Primer for my kindergartener. He's totally rocking it out too! This was great!
Wow! This really inspires me. You are such a great leader to your kids and they are so well behaved. I have a first grader who has been struggling in school for a while he has adhd and I’m thinking may be that’s what the Lord wants me to do at this time. I will be praying that my husband will agree
I been homeschooling my daughter, and she loves it. Thanks for sharing your routine video was great😄
Homeschooling is awesome!. I love to see some of your ideas that i don't have in my homeschool. Keep it up mama.
That was great,Erica! Thank you for sharing your routine.
Thank you sooooooooo much for sharing your school day!!!!!! It helps me for some reason to see how others do things. 😀
Thanks for sharing I enjoy this type of video. As someone just getting started it was nice to see.
Thank you for sharing this, love seeing the daily routine, it helps me to get new ideas for what we want to do next year--love the hop forward reading game, totally going to use that!
Aww this is so awesome! I am a homeschool mom of a 4th grader and a kindergartener who probably should've went straight to 1st grade lol It is NOT always easy, but they are both geniuses and are such a blessing. Thank you so much for sharing. This helps out alot.
P.S. we've also learned to ignore the unwanted opinions about homeschooling. if anyone hates it then know there just haters of all things and there just bullies thereself
this was fun to see. looks like a full day. learning and then playing !!!
I would never be able to tell that "you're not a blogger!" You did an excellent job! Thanks for sharing your homeschool days!
Great video Erica! Thanks for sharing! The kids are growing so fast!
Hello! I'm a new subscriber :) I only watched 2 of your videos and I already love your family! I also have 4 kids and I want to start summer homeschool, can't wait to watch all your videos!
so neat to see this in action.
Thanks for sharing your routine. We like your family!!!
Thank you for sharing. Would love to see more!
It was cool seeing your school day! Thanks for sharing :-)
That was such a fun video!!! Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome video, Erica! Thanks so much for sharing your daily routine :) Be Blessed!
Thank you for sharing your day with us
Thanks for sharing. You have such a beautiful family. I have four children but only homeschool our youngest son who is 9 years old. Our oldest son is in college, second son a senior in high school and our third son is a sophomore in high school. I wish I had the ability to have homeschooled our older children when they were younger but every state is different. I'm very happy we moved and I was able to homeschool. This is one of the best experiences we've had together.
Hey I just started homeschool with my mom and I love it it’s not as stressful and has gave me more time to work on my dream of being a TH-camr dancer and horse crazy girl it gives me a lot of free time to play with my Breyer horses too I’m in middle school and it’s so fun I love waking up and dining my school now I used to hate it
Thanks to this video we knew and do Homeschool since 8 years ago, miss yogur homeschool videos♥️
I am so excited to homeschool the children I nanny for. We start in August! (Future Kindergartner and a 2 year old
I really enjoy your channel and will definitely be back! I enjoy making handmade reading comprehension materials for my little girl as well as math related resources. We are now working on decomposing and composing numbers and are having fun! We also love Thanks for posting. Thumbs up! And subscribed! BBG
I love that game for your youngest... I think I will start that with my second grader! 😊😊😊Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing!!!! You all are awesome :)
Great video! How do you teach them new things?
How do deal with feeling behing being a mom and acdemic school teacher at the same time
Enjoyed watching! You should do vlogging more often.
wowww!!!! great work, congratulationsss!!!! thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Wow! I would think you ARE a regular vlogger from the quality of this video :)
Very well edited and casual with the camera. Also your kids are adorable (but not as adorable as my nephews of course :P).
Thanks for sharing your day with us :)
Hi I loved watching this video! I have 3 kids that I am starting to teach next Monday and I have a quick question. What are your other kids doing while one of them is using the white board for her words? or while one of them is doing the jumping game? Thank you in advance!
When my kids were all younger, we did the jumping game together and I just gave them different flashcards based on their age. But if one of us is using the whiteboard the others are doing something independent like reading, handwriting, etc. I will teach them a lesson, then they can work while I am working with the younger ones at the whiteboard. We rotate from there.
I have to know!! Where did you get that calendar set? For the tiny tots? We used to do that back when I was in school,, I never seen them anymore . Just curious . Thanks!
I have this one: amzn.to/2EIoZFt
I also have free month headers and numbers here: www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2011/10/gingham-calendar-day-month-printables.html
Nice to see how others go through a day, thank you! What time would you normally start and finish? I have kids in 7th, 4th, 3rd, and K and we take about 4 hours to homeschool.
We normally start around 9am and finish around 2pm give or take!
we had the same birds, but the noise was too much for the kids so we had to give them away
hi , i see quite a few homeschool moms have that really cool school table was wondering were you got it ? thank you for sharing with us your
helpful insight on homeschooling !
+Rachael Heidenreich Hi Rachael, It's from Ikea, you can see info on how I made it here:
www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2012/08/our-ikea-school-desks.html
Erica Arndt hello, Erica! Thank you for sharing anything with us! I'm looking for a box or organizer for our colorful pencils and pens etc. but it's pity that no one on amazon has such a one which could have more pencils in:(. Could you please share the one you have on your table with me??? Than you so much! And by the way, i do. want to know how I can make my 4 years old son sit down with me and learn with me together. Sometimes I feel that I'm not a good mother...:( he doesn't want to sit beside me and learn anything I planned for him... I don't know what the problem is. Yes, he's just 4 years old and he's a boy and especially he's now in his sensitive and active period... it's not that easy for me to discipline him. Then I feel very failed as a mother😓. I understand that each kid is different... but I still would like to ask you to give me some advices or tell me about your experiences on it. Thank you!
May I ask you where you purchased your white desk caddy that holds all of your pens, pencils, etc. ? Thank you.
+Rachel Absher I'm not sure where she purchased hers, but there is one that looks exactly the same at Micheal's craft store.
+Rachel Absher I found mine years ago at Michael's :) I'm not sure if they still have them, but I've seen them around and online at Amazon. search Recollection Desk Caddy.
Hi. Your video was really nice. I am planning to homeschool but i have some fears that i need to overcome. I am not a teacher by profession but i still want to homeschool my 8 yr old and 4 yr old. My fear is sometimes i feel i wont be able to teach my kids as i dont know much about what to teach and how to teach.
Did u ever feel like this?
Hi Lubna,
Yes, we all feel that way at one point or another! :) You will be able to do it well, especially with your teaching background. It is a transition to teaching your kids at home, but shouldn't be too difficult as you're already use to teaching. I have information on how to get started, what curriculum to use, how to schedule your day, etc. and what to teach by grade level in my HS 101 book: amzn.to/2jfI3LC
Thanks for sharing! :)
Erica, where did you get your laundry cart with the baskets?
Gosh, we've had it for years but probably Walmart or Target :)
thank you SO much for sharing!! please do more videos! ps...loved the starbucks clip :)
homeschooling is a great choice. public schools tought our son nothing and didn't know how to handle his disability yet they went to college. our son has really improved and plus our son was bullied unmercifully at public school
wow I just stumbled on your channel. I'm a homeschool mom of 2 ages 10 & 7. we just finished for the year last week and I'm already anxious to plan for next school year. am I the only crazy woman doing this? I really enjoy hearing your ideas and seeing what you do. I'm curious to know what bible books you are using? I couldn't catch it in the video. you're inspiring thank you!
The ones in this video (it's older) were from The Picture Smart Bible, this year we used Word Of Life Challenger Devotions.
Im not creative enough to do homeschooling with the kids.....plus its alot of work -.- Is there specific instructions on how to set up the classroom and do games and stuff?
Hi, you don't have to be creative to homeschool, but it does make it more fun! :) It really depends on the curriculum you choose and your family's needs. It can be as easy as following exactly what the curriculum says to do, or you can create a less formal learning environment.
I like that table. Is it several desks or one big table? Where can I find it?
It's two table tops, you can get all of the info here:
www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2012/08/our-ikea-school-desks.html
Great video!
One of my coworkers told me about your website. I am loving the idea of homeschooling my girls. I have a two year old and a five month old. In this video Teeny tot was painting...where did you purchase the tray her paper was in?
lizstx Those are called easy clean craft trays from Lakeshore Learning.
thank you! I got your curriculum, I am so excited :D
Very cool vlog
Teety tot is sooooooo cute cuteness over load
Omgosh u have bible in home school awsome and its only half a day plus activities .
Hi My first grade giro needs to imrpove In her writing comprehension...... what do you recomend me or do you have any ideas. Thanks for Your time
Hi Alma,
If you mean "reading" comprehension I suggest my literature units. Not only are they fun, and hands-on, but they also include reading comprehension questions for each chapter. One thing to make sure of with comprehension is that she's actually reading okay as well. Sometimes their comprehension isn't so great because they're still struggling to read the words and that takes a lot of concentration. So remembering what they read is difficult.
You can always do read-a-loud time with her to make sure she's reading okay. You can even alternate reading with her to give her a break in between paragraphs or pages.
If you mean writing, then I like writeshop.com for younger kids, and Institute for Excellence in Writing for 3rd and up.
Erica Arndt Thanks for that tip!
Pretty late but im just wondering what type of fish you have?
+norimous chan Not sure, they're neon glow fish I think :)
So with home schooling, the parent is basically the teacher? I thought it was more like taking classes online with an instructor 👨🏫 available.
How long does your family spend on curriculum time? How do you know how much time to spend and if it is enough to keep up with other children in their grade level. Thats my goal incase my daughter ever goes back to school I don't want her to end up being overwhelmed because her school load is heavier than home. Our actual work time can be about 3 to 4 consecutive hrs. Sometimes art and projects can be throughout the day. I feel like she is learning new things at home and is gaining confidence but I want to be sure she is learning what she should at grade level. What do you feel about this? How do you make sure?
You'll need to check your state requirements, our state requires we do 172 days per year, and average 4 hours per day.
Most curriculum covers what is needed for their grades as well, so depending on what curriculum you are using you should be fine.
Erica Arndt
Thank you this helps so much!!!
Your house is beautiful and that laundry room set up is amazing!! Are you required so many hours? How do you schedule that in? New at this and trying to get some ideas.
We are required to do 172 days/year averaging 4 hours per day :) Each state can vary a bit though so check your state laws.
Nice to see
Who do you use to Do you do christian homeschooling?

I so want to home school, but my little guy doesn't listen to me.
HI Jessica,
It really just takes a bit of consistency and discipline on your part and he'll get into the groove. Everyone goes through an adjustment period where you have to set a bit of a schedule and just keep with that consistently for a while until they get used to doing school at home. He'll test you to see what he can get away with as well, so just be firm on what you expect from him each day and he'll get it. I also have this post on homeschooling and discipline that might help:
www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2014/05/homeschooling-101-discipline.html
What curriculum are you using?
+Her Royal Highness We use a variety of curriculum, you can see what we're using this year here:
www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/blog/2015/07/our-curriculum-2015-2016.html
Do your kids ever not want to participate? I’m worried about my son whose in kindergarten and doesn’t seem to enjoy school at all. He just wants to play.
Sure, sometimes! Everyone has good/bad days, but once you get into a groove it goes pretty smooth most days.
Lol Starbucks is always bound to happen in any situation 😁
How long do you have school each day?
We do 4 hours per day on average.
Are you in MN by chance?!
Sorry, no!
All of your children are in homeschool? What are there ages. I want to put all my 4 kids in homeschool. Two are gonna start next week
They are currently 9, 12, 13 & 15.
I do homeschooling with my mom
wow...all I do is wake up and go on my computer :/
I have sbeka
Wow...you are super organized!! You've totally changed my views on home schooling. If you had a teaching credential, I could see other parents clamoring to get their kids into your classroom to get a decent education. I'm in California and the classrooms are bulging at the seams! Teacher-student ratio is horrible!! And the tuition co$t for a preppy-private school academy is through the roof! And let me just say...God has disappeared completely from the classrooms. All the way from the pledge of allegiance to subjects like science. It's a disgrace. :(
You give the American-future hope, Erica. I hope other moms watching your channel will be inspired to hang their teaching-shingle and follow suit. :) God bless you.
Sylvia Catalano at my school there are core subjects then things the kids choose like religion or computer coding for example it's much better then regular schools
Awesome Mom!
do they get homework?
Sometimes they have homework from our options program, but we normally finish all of our work during school and so they don't typically have homework. Sometimes they will study for tests in the evenings when it's quiet but otherwise we're free once school is done for the day! Yay!
I'm not homeschooled but on weekends I pretend I am.
Awe this was on my bday
Do ya home school
A have a frog!
I was so triggered when she said she didn’t wanna dog😐
This was a great video and everything, but your getting your teenager to do the same work as an 8 year old? That just keeps bugging me
Hi Emily,
My kids all do different levels of work. We were using the same Bible curriculum which is what I think you're referring to. And my youngest did listen in on our science reading for the day. However they each have their own workbooks, so while it may look like their doing the same thing they have their own levels. The older kids have a blank book they color and write in, and my younger one has a traceable book so she can trace over the answers. Anyway, my oldest and youngest do not do the same work. hope that makes sense :)
