ORGANIZING Your HOMESCHOOL For Beginners | Where To Start | Homeschool Mom Organization

What kind of personal planner do you use?

I want home school my 5 year old but I feel so overwhelmed with the all informal out there

Thank you for all your videos. Learning so much from you! Homeschooling 2 of my boys full time and homeschooling 2 of my boys (one is in HS now so he is a lot more independent) part time with a UMS. (And then a little toddler boy running around!) Appreciate what you share ❤️

Always love your content!!

You mentioned in a most recent video that you found math was too teacher intense and you are switching back to Texting Textbooks. Could you do a video comparing the 2 options? This will be our first year & I'm trying to choose between the 2. I appreciate your videos!

Thanks for sharing!!!

You just saved my sanity! Thank you!!!

I need to fix our schedules.

Would you be willing to share your kids daily checklist and a blank template like you did with your loop and block? Thank you for these!

This is very helpful! Do you have a pdf for your weekly plan?

Could you do a video on unschooling? Maybe I missed it looking thru your videos. I'd be super interested in seeing how it works for your family.

Thank you!

oh! we sponsor children through World Vision too !!! and i used to run for Team World Vision. way to go !!! xo, melissa

Do you have a recommendation for school books for a 10th grader. I am having a hard time finding any. Thanks

Love love love reverse planning. Like
You, if I needed to do a detailed plan for the year I’d be totally freaking out!!

Hi Erin. For your boy who is on Singapore Math level 6, how much work does he do daily from the workbook? Does he do the Intensive Practice books? My daughter is on a same curriculum but currently on 5b Intensive Practice. She can manage these problems but sometimes takes a lot time just to do three pages of it, for example, and, on those days, she been having hard time following up on her daily routine. We have been trying so hard all this summer to figure this out.

Can you make the checklist available that you mentioned in this video? We can switch our own kids names...I think that looks awesome!

I'm in WA too! <3

As a first time homeschooler, can't tell you how much your videos have been a blessing.. 🙌 for reverse planning and yay for road to 10k subscribers.

Love your channel! Would you consider making your weekly plan (the one you laminated and your kids mark off) a printable?

Reverse planning has been my life saver! I am NOT a planner, I get so stressed out when the plan changes and then I feel totally unprepared and unable to adapt. By having a loose structure and routine, and just writing down what we did instead of what I hope to do, I'm seeing that we're actually accomplishing a lot more and my kids are leading the process more which saves me extra time and worry!

where
Did you get your planner

Oh! Writing down the Lessons per Subject and crossing them out after they're done is such a great idea! Thank you for that!

Erin, you are officially my favorite homeschooling mom! I've watched so many different approaches and now I can't stop binging your videos. You have brought relief and confidence to me. Thank you so much. My kids and I loved your homeschool cart video and will absolutely be using many of the tips and tools you've shared. Keep up the amazing work and God Bless! ❤

I need this checklist!

SO GOOD Erin!!!! 👏👏👏 Loved this! I think it's funny we both had BUG issues during filming. 🤣
All your tips are so great and easy to duplicate! So great! ❤ Thanks for doing this collab with me! 😁

This video has helped me sooooo much!!! Thank you!! ❤️ New Subscriber!!

So helpful thank you. We have to pause our math especially so I don't get the satisfaction of checking off the box everyday. But I have to be ok with that. Y'all have full days, do you need to limit out of the house commitments to help? I feel like even just a couple things out of the house each week really throws us off! Thank you for your concise videos!

THANK YOU for sharing!! Been waiting for this video! Very helpful, appreciate it!!💖

All about reverse planning because I feel awful if I don't do everything on a preplanned list. 😅 I'm also a very relaxed homeschooler and reverse planning really helps keeping track of what ever accomplished. Win! Great video with good tips! 💕💕

Thank you for all the tips on how to begin. My oldest of three is only starting preschool this year but I'm already trying to absorb all the good advice from more experienced homeschooling moms and figuring out what I feel will work for us in the upcoming years. Did you do a lot organized things with your kids before the kindergarten age? I'm trying to keep things simple but some days I already feel anxious that we're not "doing enough".

I’m loving all your videos.❤️.And I love that you grab a little from every type of schooling and integrate it i to your homeschool. Would you be able to do a video on your top reference books that you suggest for new homeschoolers to always have🤩

Came over from Pursuing Peace. ❤️

Great information! Thank you. We are new to homeschooling and you mentioned that in Washington State you are required to teach 180 days. I also live in Washington State and was wondering if you could point me to that requirement or law. I know we are required to meet the same hours as private school which is 1,000 hours but I didn’t know it had to be over 180 days.

I love this! I was thinking of doing a similar video but you nailed it! I'd rather just recommend people watch this! I wish I could have learned these tips when I was starting out, instead I fell into a similar style with time. My kids are still a bit younger than some of yours so I'm excited to continue learning from you. Thank you!

Yes being organized is sooo important to us 😀

I always find that being organized before the school year starts really helps me to get everything done

Thank you 😊
You are so helpful ☺

Hey I actually caught it on time not weeks or month later. New sub here. Can someone help me find curriculums for kindergarten and preschool? That seems to be where I am really struggling.
