*NEW* 2021 HOMESCHOOL SCHEDULE

hey moms welcome back to my channel today we're talking about my new homeschool schedule for 2021 oh hey guys this is editing tori so in the video um i might have fixed it now but you're gonna see that it looks like i did not blend my makeup because i didn't blend my makeup we're gonna pretend we don't see that okay okay all right ladies so if you've been following me you know that i took the whole month of december off we finished up our homeschooling stuff right before thanksgiving and we have been resting enjoying taking inventory going inward legit resting and restoring our lives and our souls and our bodies since then now during this time i've had ample amount of time to sit down and really ask myself what worked last year for us regarding homeschool what didn't it what do i need to change how can i make homeschool work for us and that's a question that all of you should always be asking yourself this homeschool journey is such a personal one and it's really important that you mamas learn that yes there's all these amazing homeschool mamas on youtube and on instagram and we love them so dearly however how can you make your homeschool work for you and that was my question to myself going into 2021 because what i did in 2020 will no longer serve us as a family there's lots of changes happening in my family i'm going back to school i have a business i'm running uh the kids are growing and getting older and they want to do more outside activities and they everything is just changing rapidly so what do we do do we freak out no we adjust accordingly and we keep it moving so this is my new plan for our 2021 homeschool schedule first things first before anybody panics unit studies are not going anywhere matter of fact we're returning back to our love of unit studies our love of unschooling and we're taking everything else away i mean okay not math or language of course but any other formal thing i was trying to do like history we're taking that away um spanish we're gonna take that away because that just wasn't flowing with us and what we're gonna do is a is a core based curriculum very unschooling um and then also every subject will not be taught every day i'm going more into a block scheduling and i'm so excited for that teaching all the subjects to all the kids every day is no longer sustainable for us as a family so let me share some things that i'm going to be doing in 2021 that i'm just over the moon about the first thing is i'm bringing back something that i did with the kids the first year that i homeschooled and that is their own personal notebooks that are gonna serve as um planners for them so what i'm gonna do every evening before the school day or morning of the school day is look through what kid needs to get what down and legit make a to-do list for them so titus the date and all of his assignments for that day everything that he needs to focus on and get done for that day so it's always going to be handwriting right it's always going to be 20 30 minutes of reading um and then as we go throughout the week their lesson will change depending on the day so i'll get into that but i'm really excited to usher in their individual notebooks again they thrived off of these and i don't really know why i stopped doing them so when i was taking inventory i was like we're bringing these back especially journey she is an independent worker and independent learner she likes to know what she has to get done and she wants to get it done if that like she if she can get something done in 20 minutes she doesn't want to be with me for an hour getting it done does that make sense so individual notebooks are returning and i'm so excited for the kids and for our whole family uh to bring these back okay so let's get into the new schedule the new schedule is block scheduling we are going to be doing some subjects on sundays other subjects on other days and fridays are completely off we are using fridays as our free learning day so what does that mean that means they can choose to read all morning to play an instrument all morning to work on a skill like building legos play-doh um or uh i know titus is really into legos and that slowly is evolving into construction and building so that's what i mean by skill journeys into singing therefore she can do singing lessons um whether we go to an outside place and i let her have singing lessons or we do singing lessons on youtube um they can cook if they want to learn how to cook they can say hey mom i really want to make this recipe can i do that on fridays yes friday is your free learning day if you want to learn about history get the history book out and i will sit and read with you the kids got a really cool learning tool for christmas the osmo that i cannot wait to do with them so if they want to do that on fridays fridays are free learning and what that allows is it allows for mom to breathe it allows for mom to get her school work done to get her um videos done to get her membership work done it allows for me to not feel like i am running and running out of breath and tired every single minute of every single week so we're excited to breathe in fridays and make it personal make it fun make it a space where unschooling curiosity very charlotte mason-esque learning can take place all right so that's how our fridays will look like what will our monday through thursday look like well i'm so glad you asked monday will be our math block mondays we will only be learning math so we will probably do two to three lessons on math um on monday and then we won't visit math again until wednesday um the curriculum my kids are using for math is master books and we have five lessons every week for math so it's gonna look like two lessons on one day um and three lessons on the other day or what if they get through the whole week of math on monday then we're on a whole new week on wednesday so all math we can take an hour we can take two hours to get our math work to really focus on math get good unrushed learning happening which is what i'm really excited about this block scheduling allows me to slow down and not feel like we have to rush our lessons now after we focus on math on monday and wednesdays we then will be doing our unit study stuff hallelujah i found a way to usher in that unit study again our january unit study it's fabulous you guys are going to love it i cannot wait to share it be looking for that video next week um but we are going to be diving in to our january unit study and it has anatomy so we're gonna be doing science it has uh some physical education stuff we're gonna be doing with it it is just amazing so i can't wait to share that with you guys so monday through thursday after we do our core subjects then we will end the day doing our unit study so as i said monday and wednesday is our math block tuesday and thursday will be our language block after we get language done on tuesdays and thursdays we're going right into our unit studies and then guys we end the week with our free fridays like uh i don't know what took me so long to arrive at this i mean you know we adjust and we adapt with each season and because we're going into a pretty busy season new season of our lives this is what um my life is asking of us right now this is what our lives are asking and calling up from us right now so i i really hope and i pray and i really do think that this block schedule is going to be the answer uh that that i've been needing for my home school i hope you guys enjoyed me
