  • Hey mamas! Let's talk about schedules in our homeschool and how in the world we fit it all in! Homeschooling can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to trying to get it all done, add in multiple kids and it can definitely create some stress. So how do we schedule our homeschool with multiple kids?...

    This video popped up in my feed, I’m 1 minute and very excited because our families are so similar.
    Total coincidence, my name is also Meagan, but pronounced with the May sound instead of Meh.
    Anyway, I’m also a mama of 6, all boys, ages 12 down to 2.
    After diving in…..I definitely agree with so much of what was said. The part I’m struggling with is the actual structuring of our rhythm.. We desperately need that structure, because we’ve been surviving through the chaos of unstructured days as I’ve been trying to plan and prepare, and some aspects are easier than others, but with so many moving parts and only one of me, trying to figure out a flow, particularly at the points where we diverge from group learning, is hanging me up.
    We just finished our first week of school, I decided last minute to change our math and still sorting that out, plus getting a grip on other changes.

    I love your point of routine and expectation--those two are so important to get the flow going for homeschool. Knowing what to expect and what is expected of me is very comforting for a child. Gives them a sense of security. 💕💕

    We definitely thrive having structured days, but with balance, not too rigorous but not so flexible that things will go all over the place.

    We love family subjects! Something we do since we live in the Midwest with cold winter come Jan and Feb we do school in Sat/Sun when the kiddos are bored. This helps fill in gaps.
    Have a great week!

    Thank you for just sharing wisdom on the schedule/rhythm of your homeschooling days! Feeling a little out of whack as I just don’t know what things will look like when we kick back off this coming year with a newborn (and I am trying not to worry about it! ☺️). Your video is definitely encouraging. Yes for having a routine during the summer - lazy days are hard and chaotic I totally agree hahah!

    What about when you have curriculum that's four or five days a week? For instance, my daughter does Apologia science that's four days a week and sonlight for history that's five days a week.

    • @PenniesAndSalt
      @PenniesAndSalt  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We do MFW which is very much like Sonlight. So we do history 4-5 days a week. It’s mostly read aloud format so we even listen to the audiobook versions if we’re driving somewhere.
      As for apologia we do that as well. We also have the audiobook of the textbook so we have been listening to the chapter for the week in the car and discuss as we listen. Then we pick just a couple of experiments and a couple of workbook/activities. It has worked very well for us.
