Homeschool day!!! Week 2

Every Thursday I want to blog about home schooling, and it can be anything about home schooling! I have a hard time keeping track of ideas and plans. I have folders stacked up with pictures, papers and ideas and would like to just post it here instead. I will share what we are doing each week, and what we will be using to get the job done.

It's Friday sorry about the delay:)

So, this past week was an okay week for our family even though plans changed. My mother in-law did not come down Monday like planned since we were all still coughing from this flu/cold, will this ever end. We have been fighting this since before Christmas, I am so ready for the runny noses to end.

We got a lot of our studies done this week which was so nice. My kids were starting to get board, and I was ready for our routine to kick back in. I love to do all the crafty things with my kids but it is so hard for me to sit and teach English and Math. My husband has been home all week and he is so good at it. I listened to him teach the younger kids and it was so sweet, they just love it!

I decided since Larry was home I would get some organizing and selling done. While trying to figure out what to do with all my plans for each month I came across a company that I just was so happy to find. This company sells everything one would need for storage in the home! The company is called Thirty One, have you ever bought from them? While I was looking over the website I came across a Fold N' File that would be perfect for all my file folders, which hold each months plans. This along with about 5 other things will be going on my Thirty one wish list!

Plans for the upcoming week in our little school house -

Finish working on the family binder that I talked about last week, were moving a little slower than I thought we would with this.

Will be starting the Alphabet path with my younger 2 daughters, all though I think I will have 2-3 of the older girls wanting to join in. This is a Catholic preschool idea, but we are going to change a few things to fit our protestant beliefs and our family likes, and values.

My older children will be starting a state-by- state scrapbook; I will share more about this in a later post. Here is a little peek at the first book we will be using F is for First State: A Delaware Alphabet .

Our daily plans for school look a lot like last week, with new activities

Monday - A normal school day, but we will be making our snowman today!! Colorful snowman to put up in our January snowflake home.  Snowman are one of my favorite things, and adding lots of color is going to be fun!

Tuesday - Martin Luther Kings' birthday, National hat day and Strawberry ice cream day. Not sure what we will do yet but I do know that homemade Strawberry ice cream will be included.

Wednesday - Today is Madelyn's 4th birthday so we are off of school today to celebrate! We have a Cinderella party planed and she is so excited!

Thursday - Benjamin Franklin's Birthday today we will learn a little about one of our founding fathers.

Friday - Jazz Day we will learn about Jazz and use some of these worksheets for fun.

I thought it would be nice to print out a calendar for all the fun activities we like to do each day. It really keeps school fun when my children know that each day we will be learning about all kinds of fun new things.

Here is a calendar I am going to print off for my girls, they have icons you can paste on but I think we might just make our own.

 

Blessings,

Pamela

Homeschool Day!!

Every Thursday I want to blog about home schooling, and it can be anything about home schooling! I have a hard time keeping track of ideas and plans. I have folders stacked up with pictures, papers and ideas and would like to just post it here instead. I will share what we are doing each week, and what we will be using to get the job done.

January 2 -4th we are still on a winter break so I am really just grading and catching up on some things I put off till after Christmas. One of the things I chose to do for 2013 is make a House hold Binder like the one you see here. It's been fun making this binder with my daughter and husband and I can't wait to share it with you!

My girls are doing catch up on some school work this week, and were back full time January 7th!! We always do our normal school work, but we also love to add things! Here is what we are doing for fun alongside our normal day.

Monday- Christmas with Grandma at our house, we are having a themed winter Christmas party this year!

Tuesday- Normal school day and it's National Clean-off-your-desk Day! A good day to clean out our desks and school areas, a midyear cleaning.

Wednesday- National Apricot Day I think I will make apricot cookies today. This is a easy coloring sheet little kids 5 and under can color.

Thursday- Daddy's birthday is today and we will celebrate his 36th birthday!  It's also •Bittersweet Chocolate Day a good day to learn about chocolate.

Friday- Juliana's birthday is today and we will be taking the day off, she will be 7 today and she is growing so fast. Another perk you get when you home school is taking the day off for your birthday!! And for fun, it is national milk day!!

I have come up with monthly themes in our house for this year, hoping to add a little fun for the little ones. Since schooling at home is about family and togetherness I try to make it year round fun! We school year round so we have themes for the next 12 months!

January- Winter snowflakes, and our Favorite things

February- Caring and Sharing and Lent

March- Irish Culture and Easter

April- Spring and Gardens

May- Flowers and Garage Sales

June- Flags and Fathers

July- Red White and Blue

August- Beaches and School Supplies

September- Apples and Parties

October- Smells of fall and Pumpkin seeds

November- Pilgrims and Preparing

December- Advent and the Grinch

That's it for this week, I hope all of you are having a great 12 days of Christmas!

Blessings,

Pamela

There Are No Formulas

Homeschooling a word some people run from and scream about, I on the other hand love this word. We live in a country where we are STILL FREE to school our children what a blessing. I have to say I have not always loved the thought of homeschooling I was at one time the one that screamed about doing it. Looking back I wish I would have done things different from the start.  I have learned a lot over the years about how to love homeschooling, but it took time for me to understand that the Lord was calling me to school my children and that neither private nor public were in his plans.

 I first had to learn to avoid the do's and don'ts of homeschooling since it seems that everywhere you look someone is giving great advice on this area. I needed to stop comparing myself to other families and instead I did the one thing that most of us fail to do, I prayed about it.  I would normally ask advice and read books about how to do it the correct way, than when all else failed I would pray about it. I am not saying I have never prayed about homeschooling deeply over the years but I never just left it in God’s hands completely and gone to our heavenly father first.

 It is do freeing and it feels so good to know that I am not the one in control, which was very hard for me since I like to be in control of most things. I encourage you this year to allow God to control 100% of this area and not to compare yourself to others in this area of motherhood. Remember with GOD all things are possible and he never makes a mistake, what a great feeling to know that the one in control will never make a mistake sleep well knowing you are in good hands.  

I prayed with my husband about the way we would school our children this year, something I have really never done. I just bought the books did what I wanted and he helped when I needed him. Another big mistake leaving your husband out of the homeschooling plans, my husband loved the idea of helping out with our plans for this year I had no idea. I thank Jesus for showing me this and to think all I had to do was come to him and ask what he wanted me to do... I wish I would have asked years ago for his help.  I feel our little school is even more blessed now that our heavenly father and our daddy are involved more.


This year with the support of my husband I actully have my plans in place before August:) I have all my books ordered and our plans about 95% done which I could not have done if it was not for my husband.  I know my husband had a lot to do with this early planning because it seems each year I am getting things done just in time to start school, and the summer is just crazy with desision making. Thank you sweetheart!!!

I will be writting a blog post on what we are using and doing later in the week since I have it just about finished!!! I am so excited about this!!!

Remember my home looks nothing like your home, and that's okay God has a different plan for each of us.
