Good Morning! Homeschool Organisation for 3-6 Year Olds!

homeschool morning organisation

In preparation for homeschooling I created these morning boards.

These are to help DS6 and DS4 get organised for the day and settled into a routine. The idea comes from the site homeschool creations.

I printed the pictures from k-3 resources. This is an Australian site that has loads of printables and helpful information. It's only $22.95 a year for membership. Then I whipped out the laminator. I love laminating! Does that make me a nerd?

The one above was made for DS4. It's fairly basic as you can see.

This is the one I created for DS6. It includes a list of morning chores as well as a yearly calendar.

Finally, here is a picture of them up on the wall above the boy's homeschool craft table.

 Simple, but effective.

I plan to update these morning organisation boards as needed to provide new challenges!

    I think that a penchant for laminating is a prerequisite for a good homeschooler ;)

    Lovely board, I've been doing something similar with my kiddies, but it doesn't look as neat as yours! I got inspiration from Jolanthe too, love her site!
    I started when they were 2 and 4, so we drew pictures of the activities we have planned for the day, and we stick them to fridge (each activity card has a magnet stuck to it), visually very satisfying for a young one :)

    Love your blog :)

Inspiring Character That Lasts - We Choose Virtues Giveaway!

One of the benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to help shape our children's character. In fact, one of the points from our own homeschooling mission statement is that I desire....     To build strong character in my children believing that good character is more important than academic success        Children are not born with a set of values and beliefs about the world - they are taught. This means they do not always naturally become kind, patient, content and diligent - they need to be guided, gently corrected and encouraged to embrace the kind of virtues that God desires within us. I find this a challenge with my incredibly spirited, strong-willed children (yes, all of them fit this description). I have often allowed myself to feel discouraged and disappointed in their behavior rather than see it as an opportunity to teach and shape their character.  Another benefit of homeschooling is that we can encourage these vir...

Why I Chose Skwirk For Homeschooling

Over the years we've used a few different online learning resources but I'm particularly excited about trying something NEW for 2015. Skwirk has had a make-over and quite frankly, it's awesome. There is nothing quite like it around at the moment and it has some great functions that work well with homeschooling. It provides animation based lessons for younger ones as well as great options for independent learning for older kids all the way up to year 10. As an educational tool it is aligned with the Australian curriculum so if that's important to you, or you just like to occasionally see where your kids sit in relation to their peers (like I do) this is a good thing. The subjects it includes are maths, English, science, geography and history. My plan was to use this for my 5 year old who is 'technically' in his first year of school next year. However, once I learnt all the features of the program I'm thinking it will be a great resource for encour...

Homeschooling On The Rise in South Australia - Article In The Media

This is my family as pictured in an article on homeschooling in the Adelaide Advertiser. We look happy don't we? Laughing with joy as we learn together. It's true. We are happy. In fact, very happy to have the opportunity to be homeschooling. However, this recent article pointed out that the current rise in home education is not due to parents recognising homeschooling as a valid way to educate a child but because so many troubled children are being kicked out of school. Apparently, there are hoards of unhappy parents being forced to homeschool their children because the department of education no longer wants them in their system. My response is this: I've met lots of homeschoolers and interact with many online and I have never once encountered one who homeschools because the department kicked their child out of school - not even one. I'm not denying these families exist but they are clearly the minority. Many troubled children display troubled behaviors b...
