Homeschool Planning for the New School Year (Episode 1) 

Ok! I can always add these pages to my homeschool planning page bundle and you can customize them from there. I'll work on that this week. 💕

@@funhandsonlearning you’re amazing! You know I LOVE everything you make! I’m still using your curriculum with my upcoming 2nd and K!

Aww, I'm so blessed by that!

Hi friend!! Yes, I do remember! It is so good to hear from you. ❤ It is so crazy to have some of our children graduate isn't it?!!?! Life changes so fast! So do you work one on one with your daughter who has autism? My son just turned 7 and he is really smart - he knows & understands a lot but has a very hard time communicating. And yes, I remember you have a 4 yr old - my youngest is about to turn 4 in August. 😊. How is your daughter doing with her special needs? So thankful God gives us the strength & grace to parent these special children.

@@funhandsonlearning yes life passes in a blink! Yes I work with her one on one. She is so smart when it comes to some things and she’s pretty good at life skills and communication, but writing and math are a struggle. I’ve learned to help her by using speak to text and using a calculator. Your phonics is actually what taught her to read and spell! Communication is a hard one. Serenity is non verbal and it’s so hard. We’re working with her speech therapist to use communication devices to help her because she really can’t say many words. She mainly uses sounds and some sounds we can understand and some we can’t and she gets very frustrated. What I’ve learned throughout the years is just work with them at their level and progress is progress. Adaley is still learning basic math but that’s okay. She can read pretty well and actually has great comprehension skills so I feel like that’s her strong suit. She loves to sing and I teach her life skills to help her. I honestly don’t think she could ever live by herself and that’s okay too because neither will Serenity. God is good though and he gives us these special babies for a reason. ❤️

Oh it is so good to catch back up with you. I feel the same way about my two boys with special needs. I don't think Seth will ever be able to live on his own, and possibly not Paul either...but I'm praying that maybe they could live together and help each other. Wouldn't that be amazing? It warms my heart to hear that my phonics curriculum helped her learn to read! It's what I used with Seth too! He can read very simple books and he's making progress all the time! Paul knows all the school "things" (reading, simple math, etc) but really struggles talking. He can talk - but is only up to about 3-4 words at a time. But every day is new - and every day I see more of God's hand in his progress. I also am filled with joy as I see my other children help their special needs brothers. It's teaching them compassion. Well, I'm so blessed to know you & share experiences with you! God bless as you continue your journey with those kiddos. From one mom of 8 to another ❤

@@funhandsonlearning yes I agree! It would be great to catch up more often! Yes we’re hopeful as we get older Adaley’s older siblings will help take care of her and I’m sure they will. They love these sweet girls so much! That’s so awesome that they help him! It makes my heart so happy! Yes I’m so thankful for you and for all you do! I pray you have an absolutely amazing year! ❤️

Thanks! I hope you enjoy my content!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances..." “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” Praying in every aspect of your daily life is vital, especially in this day and age that we live in. Jesus is the only way ❤
