6 Ways to Organize Your Homeschool Days

This entry is part 3 of 4 in the series 5 Days of Homeschool Organization

Organizing the Homeschool Day

Today we’re talking about Organizing the Homeschool Day

I never realized how important this aspect of homeschooling was in the early days of good ol’ preschool and kindergarten. You know.  what is school then? An hour? Half an hour? But now heading into the 3rd grade it’s become ultra important in our home to make sure that each hour of the homeschool day is used wisely. That our daily schedule matches up with our homelife and that we’re not burnt out from being so disorganized by the end of our week.

Pacing ourselves and making sure to not just go through the motions is on my agenda for this coming year. I think they call it being intentional. We’re also going to be switching things up, much to the chagrin of the Sweet Peanut, to be more accommodating of Daddy’s schedule. He works on Saturdays and has a weekday off so this year my goal is to take that day off from school and use it like our Saturday and have school on Saturday. We’ll see how long this lasts.

So to help me and to help you too I’ve pulled together six homeschool moms to give you some tips on how they organize their homeschool days.
