I know myself and a break to reset and refresh is what I need to be a better homeschooling mom throughout the many years that I desire to homeschool which is why we don’t homeschool in summer. Let me be honest here… what I also wanted to see with this yearly overview of lesson planning, is that we didn’t have to pull out the math book all year long if we missed time off due to not feeling well, a day of that we just needed, an unscheduled play-date, or if we had a vacation time in mind. This is where my year-at-a-glance homeschool lesson planing using Google Sheet came in. Then I wondered how long different curriculum took throughout the year based on their suggested timeline and what I saw happening. First of all, I needed a a prayerful approach and plan to choosing curriculum.
I came up with a system to help me in what I wanted to see. But then there’s still my question, how do you create a homeschool lesson plan so it doesn’t create this feeling of defeat and failure? Or maybe not feeling well while having a week to recover. Adapting homeschooling to life is dealing with real emotions and arguments between siblings all while homeschooling. I also felt like my approach to life and homeschooling needed an adjustment.įor us, adapting life to homeschool says that homeschooling is primary and you fit all that happens to life in it. How is it possible to write out lesson plans of what you see happening for the month or year all while feeling like nothing that you hoped for is getting done! It became defeating for me. In fact, it was this approach where I felt like a homeschooling mom planning failure within just the first two weeks of homeschooling. But that’s not how things happened for me. I pictured and perceived homeschool lesson planning as a process of writing the plan out for the year, following it, executing it and feeling successful.
