Every year, the needs of our homeschool change, and so does our daily schedule! It was difficult to keep up with the household chores while also completing the homeschool work....and then I realized...."Man! those constant little, itty bitty interruptions that keep happening....that adds up to some REAL TIME!" We had to fix it!
So I took our homeschool block schedule and implemented a new strategy so that we can keep up with not just homeschool, but exercise, chores, and also give Mom some time to do her work as well!
How does a homschool mom Homeschool and keep the house tidy? I have some ideas for you! This video is part 1 of 2 videos! This video is the plan. The next video is about the execution...the tools we use to make sure that Mama doesn't always have to be nagging kids to get their work done!

One thing I forgot to mention….. By the afternoon, the time stamps are more for me, not my daughters. They can go at their own pace once their math is done. They may even go outside and play for a bit. But homework needs to be completed before dinner. Same thing for the morning chores. There’s a half hour there. So if their chore only take them 5-10 minutes, I might let them go outside for a quick “recess”

@NovasYouTubeName Год назад

What happens is they just keep not getting the work done and it’s dinner time…? Because when my kids all of sudden want my help at 6 pm cuz they’re rushing to get it done before dinner I tend to loose it!

@OurHOMEschoolPlan Год назад

@@NovasRU-vidName i know this feeling! I can’t help after a certain time. My brain is done. This year. I started a rewards chart that has helped with some of this behavior. You could implement something like that and require they not have playtime, etc til homework is done.

@simplejoyfilledliving 2 года назад

We operate on what I call the my time/your time policy. Your time begins when my time (school) ends. Both of my girls are motivated to finish so they can do what they want to do more quickly. I think this was easier to teach to Katie because she went to public school through 2nd grade and appreciated having more free time with homeschooling. But Sophie learned pretty quickly too.

The Lord is so kind because I just came across this video again right when I was feeling like pulling my hair out and I was fresh out of ideas for my son! Lol. There were days I felt mean making him sit there when the day already felt long to finish. I've been wrestling with the mindset of "am I making this too much like public school" when we homeschool...but on the other side of the coin I was thinking he needs to learn to finish work so he can function in the work world. All that to say thank you...so glad it came back up on my feed to rewatch again. You saved me from going bald! 🙃🤣

BUT once schools finally over suddenly all those things he does constantly ARE GONE! lol I always tell him he's king of procrastination. It's a cycle I've never been able to break so I look forward to maybe getting to a better place.

So it’s a good test of Mama’s patience and long-suffering, right? We aren’t perfect yet! Still forming these habits! But definitely the hard stops and holding back the things they want to do at the end of the day, help motivate them more.

My oldest is that very distracted/procrastinating child. We have to do a very similar type of scheduling. I have an app on my phone(android) that she uses called "Kids task timer-visual timer for kids ". I program all her subjects/breaks for each day with the times. It's helped her a lot.

@OurHOMEschoolPlan 2 года назад

I’ve thought about putting timers on my phone!!! So how is you app different than just setting timers? It starts next timer after a task is marked complete?

@nataliecrowe2122 2 года назад

@@OurHOMEschoolPlan yes. You program your day with a set amount of time for each subject. You can also put a 1 or 5 min visual or audio warning indicating that time is almost up for that subject and once its done it goes to the next subject. The timer itself looks like a pie chart with colors(you choose the colors for subjects). My daughter actually prefers I cast it onto our TV. :)

@awilson8521 Год назад

Preface: I come from a classroom background: So, expectations are great and (as a procrastinator myself, and what helps me as well) I use a wall timer to keep students on task--no blankets, no water, no bathrooms when the timer is going and it's work time. An announcement that it's five minutes until school time, and go get comfy now, should be able to cut through the distractions and procrastination when it's focus time. Also, my three-year-old is going to be a procrastinator too, I can tell. We're teaching her how to focus right now (eyes on the task and talking about the task; simple things like getting herself buckled in her car seat or putting on shoes).

@OurHOMEschoolPlan Год назад

Yeah-I thought about this idea since that’s how schools do it. We do use the cube timer sometimes. As long as I’m in the room with them, they’re fine. It’s if I leave to go to the bathroom, or check on my son, etc…..they allow themselves to be distracted. 😜

The part 2 to this video is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ojW_qSZ-_KI.html If you go to my RU-vid page, there’s a menu item at top of the channel page that says “videos”. If you click that, it will list every video I’ve done from most recent to oldest. You can also sort it by most views (although older videos also typically have more views). You can also find various videos through my playlists. I have all my videos organized in multiple ways depending on what you’re looking for, so there may be a video in more than 1 playlist. For example, all curriculum videos are in 1 curriculum review playlist, but I also have playlists for specific grades. I hope that helps!!

How'd you know I needed this video right now? Haha. Between a distracted avoider and another ADHD kid, and my afternoon burnout, some days are sure a struggle! It's like herding cats, we joke. My oldest has some independent work he can do while I wrestle with the other two. The routine/list does help! I've tried picture tiles and putting up a printed schedule, but what has helped recently is a bullet journal-style daily sched I jot down on a spiral notebook. I'm such a distractable person myself; it helps come up with what we need to work on for the day, and I add a wishlist for things I'd like to get to. The spiral notebook travels around the house with us so we can keep referring back to it. I keep thinking a I should learn to use would be Alexa timers (even with a routine, we can be so time blind). Also, taking school out of the house! In normal times, we used to bring bags with schoolwork to the library study room...Hopefully those will open again soon. Or even work with one kid while the other is at a lesson or practice. Thank you for the tips!

@OurHOMEschoolPlan 2 года назад

I knew you’d need this! 😜 think this time of year, all homeschool moms everywhere are making 1 last effort for the perfect schedule! Lol! Hence this video! don’t have an Alexa, but I do set timers sometimes. Like when I do read aloud. I try to do a chapter.

I tell them we need to have everything done before supper time and it does not always get done, which makes me cringe because I am one who thinks we must get everything done to feel accomplished. I have a 7 year old, 10 year old, and a 12 year old. 1st, 5th, and 7th grades. I feel pulled in three directions at all times. 😩 Math is enough to make me crazy. My kids are all procrastinators.

@OurHOMEschoolPlan 2 года назад

Thanks!!! Solidarity!! 😂 My schedule has my children’s names on it. I’m not sure how to make it an editable printable. It’s on my list of things to figure out at some point.

I have a rule that school stuff as to be close to where we do school, we have extra blankets for that purpose!!! My kids do their independent work independently and if it takes longer it’s their time!!! My brain is sharper later in the day so we do our together time then!!!

@OurHOMEschoolPlan 2 года назад

My daughter LOVES this one blanket, though. So it travels all over the house! Her brother gave it to her for a Christmas. ❤️❤️❤️ Yep! Independent work is on their time!

That is my daughter exactly! But worse is that it’s also me. I have such a hard time sitting and not getting up so I can teach anythijg

We’ve been letting her drink and Alani drink in the morning which has helped a little. Do you drink caffeine?

@@OurHOMEschoolPlan I don’t drink coffee (it makes me anxious and shakey), but I do have earl grey tea with bergamont which helps my focus. I’ve been binging your videos today while sick on the couch and I’m feeling remotivated for homeschooling and planning thank you ❤️💕❤️💕

I haven't finished this video yet and I know it is old, but I am curious what you do if it is something they can't do independently of you?

@OurHOMEschoolPlan Год назад

I’m not sure what you’re asking. If they can’t work independently and need me? You’ll have to give me an example bc I work with the kids who need me. But I’m only one person nap I have to schedule my own time. If I can “ping pong” between kids who maybe are both doing math but need help….I’ll have them sit on either side of me so I can be there to help both at the same time. And then I try to COMBINE as much as I can….teaching them all together.

@user-nq1vg2vi3e Год назад

@@OurHOMEschoolPlan I guess I am primarily thinking about how much time language arts takes us. it seems to be so much time when I have to read all the lessons but their actual worksheets don't consume much time so they are done and sitting waiting for me before I am done with someone else. math is very independent for now, and I love that.

@OurHOMEschoolPlan Год назад

@@user-nq1vg2vi3e this year I have a list for my girls on what they can do independently. So if they are sitting waiting for me, I can say, “work on your independent work!” That list might say their chores, maybe they have to make their bed or out their laundry away. Or maybe it’s time for a little break. Go jump on the trampoline. We have maps they can trace. Flash cards they can practice. I try to think through these things. For my youngest. When she was a lot smaller, I didn’t mind letting her have a break and playing with something. So I had stem type toys, like blocks, or buttons she loved to arrange, puzzles….even coloring pages. Last year my girls liked coloring anime coloring sheets I printed from the internet. Hope that helps!!

@user-nq1vg2vi3e Год назад

@@OurHOMEschoolPlan so do you just plan extra kind of worksheets that you know they can do on their own so they don't start leaving their seats and getting toys and rolling on the floor playing and being a distraction to whomever you are currently working with? something like that?

@OurHOMEschoolPlan Год назад

@@user-nq1vg2vi3e I don’t have littles anymore so I don’t plan busy work. Today, I just know what they need to do and what can be done independently. And I may have suggestions for independent activities they can do. (Like the stem games) When my kids were little, it was harder. I have a video of things i did with toddlers. When they were preschool age, I guess yeah….I just had a bunch of activities I knew they could do IF I didn’t want them to leave the table or if I wanted them to play quietly. But if you have little distractions, the meson thing is to plan the hard work with the older kids when you KNOW the younger ones will be napping or able to play quietly. So I planned my sons harder work for the afternoons. I also took advantage of education TV shows. I’d put in DVD about an animal they wanted to learn about. Or maybe some school house rocks videos.

I feel the noon thing also. That’s why I’m trying to exercise at that time. Hoping those endorphins will help give a little boost!
