So fast forward to the start of school. Let's just say that I did a ton of research about homeschooling but did not actually make any concrete plans. (Sort of like when I was pregnant I read everything I could about pregnancy but basically nothing on what to do once the baby arrives)
Anyway, we started school last week, on the same day as many of the local schools. We are doing a virtual classroom for Judaic studies for the older 3 kids. So for 3 30 minutes classes per day, they log into a website and they can see the teacher and the other students and everyone can see them. So far it is going well. We are going to try it for a month and reevaluate. My youngest one and I will be studying Judaic studies together.
We have a math curriculum, a grammar curriculum, a social studies plan and a science plan is in the works.
My main goals for this year are as follows (in no particular order)
#1 Everyone will love learning
#2 Everyone will excel in math
#3 Everyone will learn the basics of cooking and cleaning
#4 Improved family time
We have had one week of school now and I already see a huge improvement in #4. We do not have homework, which means at night when my husband is home, we can all just spend time together. No one is rushing here or there while trying to finish our homework. Are the lunches packed? Do you have your permission slip? You forgot what at school?
We have not had any of that this year. Our quality of life has improved so much in this past week. Hopefully it will continue . . .
