Minimalist Homeschooling | Simple Daily Scheduling 

Oh yes! I have learned SO much and now understand my daughter better. And now I know how to help her better. Sigh... I feel bad for what I didn't know! But things are even better now!

Simple really is better, isn't it?

SO. MANY. PRICEY. PLANNERS. WASTED. I have a video and blog post coming on the bullet journaling!

Yipee! I am looking forward to that!

TY so much for taking the time to share.. Totally understand that whole "my brain just quit!" deal too.. You are so not alone.. & your sweet girl..who's dealing w/ Dyslexia is definitely not alone as well.. so many people in that same boat.. My eldest DD is navigating high functioning ASD.. If you happen to have any knowledge about that.. please feel free to share.. I tell you everybody's got something..

Thank you for your super sweet comments!!!

Oh heyyyy!!!! That's so cool! Sorry I am behind on responding to comments! I had surgery a few weeks ago and had a rough time with the recovery. Still trying to get caught up! I'll do a review on Math U See [added to my queue to record!]

I pray for your recovery from surgery! I am looking forward to the review. We found Math for a Living Education as well and are loving it!!!!! Math is our most challenging.

Hey Autumn! 1. We knew that to move here, my hubby would either need to transfer and we live close to the beach but not on the island. OR he would need to get a job that allowed us location autonomy. So he went back to trucking over the road. Then, even though we were already minimalists, we sold almost everything else! And moved! We lived in a hotel for a couple months, no plan. Just prayer. Then found a house and miraculously got approved for it. Rental not owning. 2. Photoshop! I am a professional photographer and I used to do graphic designing for companies as my day job. :-)

Oooo YAY on the vegan transitioning! Yes, we do Dave Ramsey mostly on Fridays, just one lesson. The girls both do the homeschool middle school version and my son sometimes does the kids version.

Working on it! Sorry for delayed response, I never got several notifications that there were new comments 😩

Hey! Click on my channel and you can see each grade, what we are using and links to our blog! www.saltytribe.co has many blog posts on homeschooling, especially minimalist homeschooling.

It's a different one, but that is a great one as well!

So with my son, who is 6 and can read, we do not do a lot. At all. He's very active and sitting for long language arts lessons does not work. We do handwriting and copywork more than G&B. BUT after we hadn't done it for a week, he specifically asked for it. He wanted to master the word lists! We did AAR & AAS and it was a no-go for us. Too tedious and everyone was in tears. Me included. Schooling boys is a new thing for me since my eldest two are girls. A better late than early is our approach. I hadn't planned on doing any type of curriculum like this with him until he was 8. He prefers mostly being read to. A LOT. He loves listening to stories! We don't focus on writing at his age because I think it frustrates him. He will often draw something [anything he wants] and then dictate to me what it is about. Then I write it for him. As he gets older he will do more writing but I'm not rushing it or doing a curriculum with him on that. We don't do any spelling. We just work on getting him loving literature and slowly using G&B to get the grammar.

My son at 7 still has a hard time sitting for lessons as well. I'm hoping we can try the G&B lessons and keep them short. We will see. My son loves to be read to as well and he loves listening to audio books, that was one reason I got the G&B history for this year. Hopefully we can tailor it to fit him and not be too much. Thank you for your response.

Shelley Mattson I have daughters but your description of your son is my daughter and what we've done so far for her schooling. So far the short lessons are a win for her. She literally dances in place while we school! Hope it works out for you guys ❤
