Episode 38: Five Ways to Plan Your Homeschool

Today, I'm tackling the often intimidating subject of homeschool planning. It's that aspect of homeschooling that can trigger fear and uncertainty because we worry about covering everything necessary for our children's education, leaving something out and not having the time for all the things we should cover.

Whether you're a seasoned homeschooler or just starting out, finding the right planning approach can be a challenge. I'll share five methods to make it easier no matter what route of learning your family chooses:

Unschooling: Follow your child's interests, teaching real-life skills.

Boxed Curriculum: Use a pre-packaged curriculum for clear daily guidance.

Loop Schedule: Rotate subjects like art, music, and maintain flexibility.

Themed Learning: Base your year on a central theme for a holistic approach.

Goal-Oriented Planning: Set goals, mark events, and divide your year accordingly.

Remember, it's okay to mix methods. It’s also okay to decide it’s not working and take another route. Homeschooling should adapt to your family's unique needs. If you want to explore these approaches in more detail, email me at [email protected]. And tell me all about it!

Happy homeschooling!
