Homeschool Prep With Me: Insights from Over 4 Years of Experience

Homeschooling – a journey filled with discovery and growth. As we dive into this week's blog post, I invite all of you wonderful ladies to join me in exploring the world of homeschool prep. Having embarked on this rewarding journey for over four years, I'm excited to share the insights I've gained along the way, along with the organizational gems that have kept us on track.

Organization: The Cornerstone of Success

Homeschooling without a touch of organization can be quite a challenge. That's why I am sharing some of these helpful tools that have become my homeschooling allies. Let’s start with the Homeschool curriculum that I use, Abeka. It has a structured schedule breakdown for all the classes, including the time that each video and class should last. I find it very helpful to create a schedule and stick to it, whether it be a format your homeschool curriculum recommends or something you create on your own. I find it helpful to my children and as a parent to avoid burnout.

This semester I decided to purchase these fun timers from Amazon to help the children understand the importance of time and doing their best to complete their assignments within the set time frame for each video and activity. They may go over 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., but these timers greatly help them understand the principle of time. This also helps us as moms avoid burnout and be able to plan our days with structure.

Creating an Optimal Learning Environment For our Children

A desk serves as more than just a surface for studying; it becomes a place of creativity for our children. When it comes to kids, a desk that not only provides a dedicated space for learning but also facilitates organization becomes a game-changer. A desk adorned with a pocket offers a practical solution to tuck away materials and keep clutter at bay. This ingenious feature is undoubtedly a remarkable addition to any learning space, promoting tidiness and a clear mindset for effective studying.
