A Peek Into Our Simple Homeschool Day

I thought it would be nice to take a series of pictures and give you a peek from a quiet day in our homeschool. It was really an uneventful day where we got a lot of work done and no interruptions happened.

On this particular day the Sweet Peanut had been using her Zone Cleaning pad from and going through the house touching things up.

If you’re unfamiliar with what I’m talking about this is a little kit by the Times Tales people to help kids clean not only their own bedrooms but the whole house. I actually purchased it over a year ago but for some reason my daughter has decided to wait and has really taken to it this week. It’s been a real blessing and she’s been doing a wonderful job all over the house. Even her bathroom!!!

I know this too shall pass so I’m enjoying it while it happens. It helped that it rained this day so she was indoors taking it easy and decided to help momma out.

We start with me opening my eyes…

1. As I awoke at the crack of dawn…okay it was about 8:30 and this is the morning view from my bed. I wasn’t real interested in getting up.

2. After dressing and such I started a load of laundry in our laundry room which is going through a remodel…

3. Then I went to go wake the Sweet Peanut since I woke up late but this is what I saw…I found her downstairs cleaning the living room. More on that later.

4. I walked outside checked the weather and as usual rain. No outdoor play today…

5. I moved on to make breakfast. Uh oh! We’re out of granola.

6. So we had fried (don’t judge the fully cooked egg) and buttered bread. So you know this is a typical breakfast.

7. After eating it was time to start school. We did our memory scriptures….

9. After our devotions we moved on to school. Our curriculum starts with English. Then we move on to math. We do a quick lesson with Math-U-See and then our main curriculum of BJU Press lesson plan.

10. Time for a break! On a roll the Sweet Peanut did the dishes while I started dinner and made some lunch.

11. This is dinner. Marinated chicken wings.

12. Here’s the Sweet Peanut’s lunch. Leftover spaghetti with cheese. She says “yummm”

13. After break it was review day in our History class so we played a game where the more money you earned the better prepared you were for the coming test. Sweat Peanut earned $2600 by the end of the game. She’s good to go! We also did a Science course learning about the weather.

14. We ended the Homeschool day putting together our Elections Lap book. The review for that is coming soon! Like tomorrow soon!

On this quiet homeschool day, after all work was done, we broke camp to tend to other matters and play.

Later in the evening father (we sometimes call him that much to his chagrin) came home from work and we ate a sumptous dinner of leftovers followed by ice cream (all completely off the Trim Healthy Mama plan).

The evening ended with music and laughter while momma sat down to do a bit of computer work before heading to bed herself.

It was a quiet, incident free day in our Homeschool.
