“I’m done!”

Have you found yourself screaming this (either inside your own head or out loud) when it comes to wearing a million hats that now include homeschool teacher?

Yep, me too. Specifically, I’m done trying to fit my kids’ homeschooling needs into perfect little time blocks. Because let’s face it, they are not sitting in a classroom right now, they are at home, during a tumultuous time. So I’ve adapted to a schedule that, most importantly, gives everyone a break and ditches the clock.

Daily Block Schedule

This 👆 is the current plan that’s working really well for us.

2 Big Changes

You’ll notice there are NO TIMES. We start whenever we get up, we go at our own pace, and we’re done when we’re ready to be done. And when we want to throw this list completely out the window, we do that too.

Another change is the time I expect my kids to do actual school work is CUT WAY DOWN. Two hours (or so) a day on the Google Classroom work assigned by their teachers is more than enough to stay on track. The rest of the time is filled with ways to get their bodies moving, do hands-on projects and just relax.

Zoom Call Tracker

Another lifesaver is a way to track all those Zoom calls. With two kids in regular and gifted classes, it was hard keeping up with all their required Zoom check-ins with teachers, on top of my at-home work schedule and fun events with family and friends. This organizer helps us all keep track.
