When I was researching homeschooling years ago, I was always curious about what it actually looked like in real life. All of the info I found about it was helpful, but I was always searching for people's experiences. It occurs to me that I've now been a homeschooler for six years, and a glimpse into our daily life might be helpful to any newbies out there.
- We all woke up at about the same time (except for Dad, who always has to wake up much earlier to go to work).
- Kathleen and Alexander took the dogs out (after being reminded for the millionth time).
- All three ate breakfast while watching cartoons.
- Kathleen continued writing the story she started yesterday on the computer. Keep in mind that this was entirely her own idea and not an assignment. Writing/Grammar/Spelling
- Alexander decided to jump on the trampoline. P.E.
- Kathleen wrapped up the chapter she was writing, and she and Grace joined him. P.E.
- After about 40 minutes, they all came in to play with their Playmobil sets together. I adore the fact that the three of them can play an imagination-based game together.
- Lunch
- More trampoline time. P.E.
- Alexander and Kathleen each logged onto IXL (which, if I haven't mentioned before, is GREAT) to work on some math practices. Math/Computer/Reading(A's lesson was reading intensive)
- Both kids took spelling tests at Spelling City. Spelling/Computer
- All three kids picked up their toys from the living room.
- Even more trampoline time (it was a spectacularly beautiful day) P.E.
- Dinner, which included an impromptu, round table spelling game, just for fun.
