Glimpse of my Day

A Day in Our Homeschool: Unedited

By Heart of Wisdom Academy - Monday, January 20, 2014


I love getting to be a fly on someone else's homeschool wall, so I'm joining Tristan at Our Busy Homeschool to share one day in our homeschool. Welcome to our day...unedited!

12:38am-fed baby
4:00am-fed baby
5:30am- fed baby, prayed, checked blogs, take asthma med, try to go back to sleep
6:45am-Got up, put diapers in dryer, fill washer
7:00am-pick library books to read for today
7:07am-My quiet time
7:25am-publish 2 blog posts
8am-feed and change baby, wake kids up, kids have their quiet times, laundry, personal care, quick chores, breakfast
9am-devotions
9:25-start individual school. Kyle does IEW(writing composition) I edited and had him watch webinar for clarification
The twins are at the board and I work with Kason at the table. Then I rotate and do one-on-one reading instruction with Kaden, Peyton, Kason, and Kendal. The other children do computer work or free reading while they wait.
Kyle writing
computer work, I think this is after I changed his clothes b/c of an accident
spelling/dictation
one-on-one instruction
12:30-lunch is leftover dinner: fish, mac and cheese, veg.
1pm-Kyle does Saxon Math. I do some review on the board with him, and then he does his problem set. I read library books to the twins on volcano's. Kason is at the computer.
Baby is napping
Kendal is napping which is very rare
laundry accumulates until the end of the day when we fold and put away
2:10-Work on Israel lapbook, watched you tube videos on floating in dead sea, and the Negev Desert, did an experiment with fresh water vs. salt water. Talked about major seas in Israel.
3:13-Kyle read Around the World in 80 Days, and the younger kids did math
3:40-clean up and snack

3:50-kids outside, I eat and clean, return phone calls, upload audio books to Kyle's Kindle
5:00-Shower/fold and put away laundry. 2 people shower, 2 people fold, and then switch roles.
6:00-Start dinner, G really did most of the dinner
7:00-finish baths and laundry
7:30 -kids eat. I don't usually eat with the kids at the table. It's overstimulating. I justify it with the fact that I spend every other waking moment with them!...I just need a little peace for my mental health. Just keepin' it real!

8:30-dinner's done, kids are spending time with daddy, mommy is drinking hot cocoa in bed reading Proverbs, then Anne of Greene Gables. I'm going to sleep and daddy offered to do devotions with the kids and put them to bed. Normally we have devotions together but tonight my asthma is giving me some trouble, which is rare, so I'm going to bed.

Goodnight
