Homeschool Organizing Overview

I’ve been working hard getting everything organized for the new school year!  I made a vision so on those TOUGH days I can look at and see why I’m doing what I’m doing! HA

We hope to be done by noon daily (maybe everything but quiet alone reading). We shall see.  Also, hopeful that Friday’s can be super LOW KEY and that we can do things together & field trips! I still have some things to finish up and hoping and praying for an AWESOME year.   Our first week will be intro. of everything and go over expectations.

We are doing spelling. I talked to the author of the book we are using to get her tips.  I’m still pretesting Adam and Luke to see where and what list I will start them on.  Its called Spelling Plus.  Will be nice to use the same book for each of them!  These are notes from an email I got from the author as to how to go about spelling with them.

My Planner and how its organized
This will be so helpful!! Just having everything I need in one spot! I love that I can easily add things to it.  Sorry its upside down!

We will be incorporating this in our HISTORY /Lit and our Science.  Love Charolette Masson ways!

This just helps me know at a glance what I’d hope they would complete each week in our American History.  Three lessons a week isn’t much actually! Its mostly reading and answering a few questions, narrating to me what they read or heard me read. 

Our Crate System 

For a big family this is just going to take so much stress off of me.  Planning now and getting our folders are filled and ready!

Our Bookcase

Our Morning Time

A few Books we may continue to use off and on during morning time.

the Virtue Cards we Use

Kinder Stuff

We hope to do neat journals like this with our FIVE IN A ROW stories too

Here is a list of the books we picked.  Sorry for “chicken scratch”.  We made copies of the little pages  in the FIVE IN A ROW book (borrowed that from a friend).  We picked up a few of the books and the ones we can’t find cheap enough we will grab at the library hopefully.  We have the activities for each book planned out and crated!
So excited for Science.  Will be fun going through this with Adam and Luke (the others will get to chime in too).  Fun stuff planned for this and we bought the science experiment pack so we have lots of fun projects we get to do too!
History & Literature for Adam and Gregory
I love that we are doing the SAME for both.  They only have a few different books that are more geared toward their reading age.

    I love the Five In A row thing…that sounds fun! I found a list online of a lot of the books and we have quite a few of them already 🙂 I am hoping Jillian will take to reading since she's already sounding things out and asking us what certain letters spell when she is "reading" really reciting books she's memorized! I will have to find some new books to test her reading ability since she has a large portion of her favorites memorized at this point!
