MOM OF 8 KIDS HOMESCHOOL ROUTINE!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- Okay- so no two days ever look the same, but here's just one day in our "homeschool life". With 8 kiddos, it's a juggling act to get everything in, but we've learned to go with flow. I'm also beginning a new weekly activity with the kids, known as Poetry Tea Time. The kids LOVED it! Days like today remind me why I love homeschooling. Not everyday is fun or even smooth, but it's worth it!
I'm also sharing how I create a HS unit, how I plan it and pull it all together as we are finishing up our Space unit and moving onto to something new!

Can you homeschool me? I graduated in 2009 but that's not the point
Haha! I’m schooling myself again too in so many areas!
Me too?
My 10 yr old son is watching this with me. He says that if I made him brownies, he would listen to poetry too. haha! Challenge accepted :)
Angela I would love to know what you do as far as "preschool" type learning.
Yes me too!!!
My daughter is only 2 and we "homeschool" daily. I can't wait until she is the age we can start with real subjects and see what she is actually interested in 💖 Thank you for sharing
I love to see how you homeschool, I'm really hoping to homeschool my daughter.
Sooo many questions! 1) do you allow your children to take breaks as often as they want? 2) when you said you “lost children” during the history part, did some ask to take a break or do something so you stopped the lesson to give a small break? Or do they just leave? 3) if they just leave, do you continue on with the lesson for the 1-2 children left & those gone miss out on the lesson, or is it made up somehow? 4) with such a large age group and some special needs mixed in, how do you carter each lesson to meet each child’s learning level?
Stephanie Smiles yes- would love to know as well
It's easier than you'd think... they are all getting what they can, at their own level. People don't actually learn in grade levels, that's just how they set up classrooms in most schools. And different ages learning together, helps everyone learn better. But she's just letting her littles (under grade 3) get up and leave when and if they want. Doesn't mean they're not still catching bits here and there.
They're getting exposed to so many things, and when things peak their interest, they stick around longer. Her older 2 are getting it all. Her younger ones are getting what they need.
I hope she gets back to you! I am thinking when she said "she lost a few" she meant the younger ones that she doesn't require to do the group studies yet. They are welcome to take part but they must have been excited in the beginning and then got a little bored so she lost them. 😉
Yes to factual history! Honestly a huge deciding factor in my decision to homeschool was how schools in Australia whitewash history. My mum read aloud an autobiography of an aboriginal woman when we first got to Australia, I knew more about aboriginal history than my Australian born friends did (I still have alot to learn but now I have my side kick to learn with me)
I LOVE your poetry tea time shenanigans!!! It has inspired me to break out our Alice in Wonderland tea set, make some brownies (my favorite!), and dive into some poetry (NOT my favorite ;-P). Thank you!!!
The kids loved it! One of my kiddos really seemed to be drawn in to the poetry- it surprised me, but that’s why I love trying out new things- you never know whose interest will float to the surface.
When you were setting up for poetry tea time, I thought to myself "Wow. She is serving and honoring her kids in such a sweet and humble way, just like the Lord does to us!"
The tea time is such a cute idea and it looked like the kids really enjoyed it!
Goodwill pretty much always has tea cups for usually $1 or less. Might be fun to take the kids and let them choose their own cups.
Love all your content, but definitely would like more homeschool videos! It was great when CR jumped in and was talking about an area he is passionate about. I love when my hubby does that with our daughter on something I’ve been teaching her.
How cute would it be if they ALL picked out tea costumes to wear and characters to be for tea! Imagination use AND poetry time! And a little bit of theater thrown in there too!
Yay it’s back! 🖤 More videos like this please (I know they’re a lot of work), they are my favorite from a fellow homeschool mama!
A Long Walk to Water is such a moving book. My oldest was 9 when we read it for a book club, and it was so eye opening for her. God did some pretty awesome things from seeds of compassion that were planted from this book.
I’m curious to know how you check them on retaining information. I disagree with the rigorous tests and memorization of traditional school, but am wondering if you go back and review or give some kinds of tests
I'm very strongly considering home schooling in the future, thank you for this!
One of my favourite memories growing is my mum and sister's reading aloud to me. Fun fact: I never read a Harry Potter, my sister read them all to me from when I was 10 to when we were in our teens just before she moved out
Found you recently. May I ask you, how do you always have your makeup, hair, nails done and do all that you do? I homeschool three little boys and that just doesn't seem like reality. Is your husband supportive and hands-on helpful with all the children or in the house? What time does everyone including you go to bed and what time do you wake up? Would love to know or even a video on maybe just you. You know we other moms find these things encouraging and inspiring.💜
I love getting a glimpse into your homeschool day. I use my planner like you do by writing down what we accomplish each day.
Juggling 8 children... A huge house, two dogs (as far as I can see), a love life, house chores, shopping, looking beautifully put together, and entertaining your TH-cam channel, plus presumably hobbies? Finance? Problems? Other family?
How on earth are you guys doing it?
I go to university, live with my fiancé and have two dogs and a a biggish house to care for and I'm crumbling.
Hey, you're doing great. I go to Uni and work full time. I don't get a pet because I already forget to feed myself some days. And I don't have the energy for a partner at the moment. My days are way to short.
Thank you for sharing your homeschool day! We started our homeschool journey this year and it is helpful to see what works for other families.
THANK YOU! I so appreciate watching the video and how you go about teaching and planning the lessons for your family. I enjoy all you've shared about the challenges and rewards of homeschooling in this video and am so very inspired by it all. I applaud you and other parents who are truly stepping up and taking a far more active roll in their children's education and over all well being. Engaging, encouraging and investing in the children and in their future is key!! Thank you so much for sharing and helping those who are just starting out to be hopeful, excited and inspired by you. What a blessing you are!!
I love how much effort you put into homeschooling your children and how much you love it. They were so into the poetry tea time! So adorable to see
I’m 24, single with no kids but this gives me so much inspiration for homeschooling one day. I love the idea of being able to give my future kids a catered teaching with accurate accounts of history and implementing a ton of fun activities to make education more enjoyable. I absolutely love this and your channel so much! Keep up the amazing work ❤️
Thank you for explaining how you don't "plan" your school lessons, but just track them! I have naturally been doing that too, but still feeling like I "have to" plan. But you are right, it just creates a burden and stress of feeling behind if you don't stick exactly to it. We get so much done anyways without needing to plan and life happens!
You’re such a beautiful person, Angela! You’re a wonderful mother. I literally burst out crying when you put the tablecloth on and set the table, you have such a beautiful soul. Bless you and your family
Yes!! Do more like this!! Homeschooling is how I found you!
LOVED the tea time poetry! You rocked it! So fun!
Awesome with the discernment ! So happy to hear someone actually using wisdom in those areas
You're so wonderfully relaxed! Inspiring... I am schooling my three little boys with a 4th on the way. So encouraging to see how natural you keep the schooling even with 8! What a blessing.
I loved this video! I would love to see more like this. Your homeschool day inspires me to add more fun to our school days. I feel like we have such a boring, mundane routine. I got great ideas from you, thank you!
Beautiful! Watching your love and dedication truly warms my heart. 🥰 I’ve been working with my 2 year old and it has been so fun. I was homeschooled and I’m confident your children will be very grateful for all you’ve invested in them when they’re older. (Not saying they aren’t grateful now, but will be even more so when they’re older 😉)
The very first video TGN video, I watched was a homeschool day in the life. In the thumbnail you were carrying Rosie. Your homeschool videos are still some of my favorites. I always look forward to them.
Yay for poetry tea time! We love “Where the Sidewalk Ends” for funny poetry. Thank you for being brave and sharing your silly mom moments in your homeschool day. I am a fool for the sake of learning as well some days. Glad I’m not alone 😜
Thank you so much for showing your poetry & tea. So stealing this idea. I'm a homeschool mom & my daughter just got a ceramic tea set. So such good timing on this idea. 💗
I loved this! Back when I was first considering homeschooling when my girls were teeny tiny, you were one of the first homeschooling TH-camrs I stumbled upon. You only had a few videos (you also only had a few kids!), and I loved hearing about the way you homeschooled. You, along with several other TH-cam moms, gave me the courage to jump in with both feet, and now I am midway through our fifth year of homeschooling my fourth and first grade daughters.
So sweet to have your husband working and homeschooling alongside you. My hubby does preschool books with our 5 and 3 year old why I do English with our older three. It's so nice working as a team in the home together, I feel so blessed to have him here.
This was great! I'd love to see more of what a typical day looks like for each grade. I have 8 kids - the oldest 3 have graduated from homeschool, 2 are high school, and the 3 youngest are elementary school. After all these years of homeschooling my kids, I still struggle with knowing how much is "enough". I love to see what others are doing. It helps so much!
I love how you build your units and make less interesting subjects fun and interactive!! 😍 Even if it’s not everyday, it shows how much you care and know your children well!! 💝
Ahhhh! I LOVE POETRY! It makes my heart so happy that you are exposing them to poetry to them at such a young age. I am working on publishing my first poetry book and my love of poetry began at there age. Keep being the awesome momma you are!
As a fellow homeschooler, really appreciated this video.
I get so excited when your videos pop up!! A lady after my own heart!!! 😍😘❤💖💕
LOVE LOVE LOVE! I"m a homeschooled graduated and I've homeschooled my kids for 13 years so far. I have one graduating (from a private high school) this year and I'll be starting my 5 yr old in the fall, so I still have a long way to go. I LOVE your way of homeschooling, structured yet flexible. I see that you have just as much chaos with littles coming in and out as I do with just one "little" but you seem to keep your cool, too, which is great to see. I LOVE read aloud time. It took me a while to get used to it, believe it or not, I didn't actually read that many picture books to the kids when they were little, but I've come to really enjoy that part! I also do "units" for science, or we sort of "unschool" that subject throughout the day or with TH-cam videos or yes, the husband likes to join in sometimes! I used to teach the middle two (we have 4 kids) together, but now that they are 11 and 14, they don't get along at all, so I separated them. Plus the 14 yr old is in 9th grade so his routine has changed a lot, so you might want to prepare yourself a bit for that. I only plan a little bit ahead as well, more like an overall idea, because lots of things come up with my health with appointments or stuff at church. Great job on Poetry and Tea Time! I learned about it a few years ago, but it didn't stick with us. You plan so well! I don't look ahead on lessons like that, but it's what a lot of people do. Great job! I have a ton of resources because my mom kept a lot of the books we used in our homeschool growing up. Otherwise, I use the library a lot! Especially with history! One thing I would love to see is how you handle kids who don't want to do their work and/or when they argue throughout the day. That's where I struggle the most. Especially being inside during the winter. Thanks!
THIS is encouraging. THANK YOU for sharing. I'm a homeschooling mama of 5 VERY ACTIVE boys - LOVE THIS
The poetry tea time got me singing " Aaaaa very merry un-birthday to YOU!"
YES! to all of the homeschool videos! This was the original reason I started following you and how I found your channel.. then I fell in love with you guys (sounds creepy haha don’t mean it that way 🙃🤣) and I watch all of your content now! ❤️
Same! Lol
Same!!!
Me too! I don’t even homeschool but find homeschooling interesting!
I absolutely adored your spin on the poetry tea time, I loved seeing the kids reaction and seeing you get all pumped and excited to begin it. If you have more videos on poetry tea time please let me know and if not please consider doing more dedicated videos of them. 🤗
Every video you just get more and more beautiful!!! You are glowing!!!! Love your homeschooling vids. Lord bless you and your family!
Angela, Your BEST video to date!! Thank you, thank you!!! I needed this💗
Your tea time put a smile on my face!!.. they loved it so much!
OH MY GOODNESS. I just love the tea time so much!! ♥️🧐
Thank you for sharing. Would love to see more of these videos. I’m planning on starting homeschooling next school year and have no idea where to get started. This gives me hope that I can do it.
We have used 1 TGTB science curriculum so far and really liked it. Seeing how you prep it was super helpful! Thank you for showing that.
I love your homeschool videos!!! Your videos are what gave me the courage to take the leap and homeschool
I loooove the homeschool content! I watched during our quiet time & it's now back to the homeschooling here for a few more lessons!
I can’t even lie the part when you dressed up was my favorite part definitely opened my eyes up as a teaching parent I definitely have to try to keep things fun and upbeat
I admire u so so much!! The fun & interesting ideas u put into home schooling...ur even & kind tone & way about u! U are wonderful & truly inspirational!! I don’t know how u don’t have a million subscribers already?! ❤️🙏🏻
I love that you homeschool you are an inspiration.
Love the video! Can you do a video explaining when/how you decide what units to do for everyone? When do you put everything together, how long does it take you to put together a unit? I would also love a video of you with your littles doing school work!
😍😍😍 totally doing tea time poetry! We love tea parties- what a good way to bond and make literature fun.
The oldest two daughters have such a happy face during there tea party, you just tell they are So proud of there mama /teacher 💗
So many good things integrated in that PTT! So endearing and inspiring to see a mom get into it to help her kids get into it!
How did I miss this! So great to peak into other people's homeschool days!
I loved this video! Kylee just read a long walk to water and was enthralled. She highly recommends. Also, I loved seeing you play and have fun with your babies. Those moments are memory makers!
Second time watching this video, thank you for sharing it again, Angela. Can’t wait for your book!!! ❤️☀️🌻🦋
I like that you said that you track what you've done instead of planning. I do the same. It works much better for us.
I LOVE the unit prep page you did, we technically "unschool" but I'll definitely give a similar plan a go
I wish I could "love" this video! This was all so helpful as a future homeschooling mom.
That poetry teatime is amazing!
I love watching how you homeschool. I have 6 kids. I homeschool 3 of them right now. I can't separate the little kids from the older ones. So we do have distractions. We do more of a traditional school. But I'm hoping to change somethings soon. I would love to do school like you. You are really engaged and it seems fun. My children are still young, and I want to change things but I'm not sure how.
We definitely need more home school content!
We JUST started Poetry Tea Time with another family in January and it was a hit! Loved the Little Women vibe you had ❤️ My husband is also a Space buff and always loves talking to the kids about it.
Tea time poetry.... that is a real fun way to learn.
How awesome to incorporate the tea time activity!! I'm sure it was so much fun for the kids :)
the boys are adorable!! loved the poetry section
I loved this video. I would love to see other ways you make learning engaging and fun. This video was really inspiring ❤️
I only have one little preschool girl and sometimes I feel exhausted, watching your video really encourages me to do better in parenting:-) Your kids are so lucky to be your kids. God bless you!! :-)
Yeeeesss to more homeschool videos!! Great video☺ your kiddos are so precious!
That was so fun! We do poetry tea time as well. I loved getting to see how you plan for the new science unit since we will be starting those up next school year.
I love Usborne books :) I used to be a consultant and my kids love those books.
I am really praying about the option of homeschooling. 🙏 thank you!
Hey! I always wanted to get homeschooled (until my second high school). On the water unit, I'm a civil/water engineer, if you want any information about how we manage water day-day let me know :)
I LOVED this and would definitely love to see more videos like this one.
Absolutely loved this!!!!! Please, more like this!!!! ❤️
Would love to see more homeschool videos, routines, setup all the things!!!
Im so happy every time to see you and your family..😊
This is such a fun video. Love how real it is. I only have my one son to homeschool and really appreciate these tips!
WHEN do you have the time to homeschool, prepare material, cook and clean the house? WHEN? do you have any help? It's amazing what you're doing
The Good and the Beautiful!! What I use with my three-year-old!3
We just started poetry teatime a few months ago and my kids look forward to it all week!
I’d love to see this more! Always looking for ideas to engage my kiddos
CR talking black holes is me and animals or kid facts haha
Enjoyed this! We homeschool as well! We have a 15 year old daughter and 4 year old twin girls (adopted through foster care). Blessings!!
Very good JO, this is exactly what I was thinking when you said tea poetry!
You are so fun! Thank you for sharing this!
This is our second year homeschooling it it has been a lot better. I appreciate your homeschool videos they have been so helpful
This video was seriously the cutest! ❤ I love all your videos so much!
So helpful! I’m hoping to homeschool my son starting this next school year!
I have zero children and am 1000% obsessed with your videos and your channel!! *hugs*
Your video somehow gave me a glimpse of what it is like to homeschool when I become a mom! more video like this please!! :D
I am so thankful to have found your channel!!! So much great info for a new to be homeschooler of three 8yr olds this year.
