1/6/2023 0 Comments Morning books brave writer![]() This year, there is a bit of deviation with that, but overall, we still love her principles. I’ve mentioned before that, while we aren’t purists by any means, we draw a lot of inspiration from Charlotte Mason’s methods. ![]() It helps to ensure we are staying on track with our goals, especially when I’m not checking boxes. ![]() That was so helpful last year and I’m continuing to do that this year. I mentioned in my kindergarten post that I had planned out a day each month to reassess how homeschooling was going. It helps me not to get behind and it’s much easier to plan. But rather than planning out page numbers (rookie mistake for me), I just write down what we complete each day. When I am planning, I write out lists of what we are working on, books we are using, goals of how many lessons/chapters to complete, etc. Rather than writing out full lesson plans with boxes to check, I find it more helpful to write down what we do each day. PlanningĪs I did in kindergarten, I am continuing to follow a basic outline of what we have planned. However, I think I have planned things out to where they are doable. Sometimes when planning, I make lofty goals for myself, so I really hope that I haven’t done that this year. I’m adding more subjects and trying to have a bit more structure. We have still done some lessons here and there, but we’ve been so busy settling in and planning first grade, that they haven’t happened consistently.įirst grade is going to look quite a bit different than kindergarten. Unfortunately, moving threw a wrench in my plans (more info on why we moved here if you’re interested). I’d rather have the flexibility to take time off in the fall, when the weather is beautiful and begging us to come outside. Summers are hot in the Midwest (not as hot as those of you in the South), so there’s not a ton of playing outside. Our initial plan was to continue school throughout the summer (but probably a lightened version with reading lessons, math, read alouds, piano practice and nature studies). ![]() (If you’re curious as to why we homeschool, you can check out that post here) I love that Claire is so excited to start school. I can’t believe Claire is in first grade! This is our second year homeschooling (third, if you count preschool).
