Jan. 14, 2010~ Lapbooking Ideas ~
Winter can be a difficult time in homeschool. Christmas has come and gone and so has the break that comes with it. Summer is still a LONG way off and so is spring, but around this time, itching for spring can start. Kids are stuck inside more and everyone is getting antsy. Now would be a great time to shake up your studies a bit and do something fun! Here is a list of lapbooking resources:
Dec. 28, 2009~ Getting Your Homeschool Organized in the New Year ~
Awww... New Year's, the time to set new goals for yourself. I like so many others out there, am setting new goals for myself and for our homeschool. I want to be more organized in the next year. My life is really busy. Besides homeschooling (and of course taking care of kids and house all day), I also work from home. I feel like I have very little free time. In addition to this, I am determined to get myself healthy this years which is going to take extra time (to learn more about this, check out Get Fit in 2010!) and to add Bible study into my day (yes, this has been sadly lacking), so I need to get really organized to add a few more hours into my time. Here are some resources and tips on getting organized for the New Years.
Get your household in order-
If your household is falling apart, your homeschool probably will too. Get your household routines down, so you can spend the time in your homeschool that you need.
Some helps for getting your household organized-
A home management binder- A home management binder will help you keep all your schedules and important information together. To learn how to put together a home management binder and to get resources, check out this link:http://bit.ly/46irl0
Motived Moms- I LOVE this program!!! Motived Moms is a very inexpensive program that you can buy that helps you organize your house work and to remind you daily of the tasks that need to be done. It breaks the work into simple chunks, so not to overwhelm your schedule. You can learn more about Motived Moms at their website: Motived Moms
1. Make sure you set aside time for homeschool. Try to avoid interuptions during this time. Your homeschool will stay much more organized if your time is not always being interupted. Here is an article on How to Avoid Interruptions while Homeschooling.
2. Keep your homeschool stuff in one spot. Whether you have an actual schoolroom or not, it is a good idea to keep your things together so you are not using valuable homeschool time searching for what you need.
3. Prepare ahead of time. Have copies and printouts already prepared before hand. Doing this during school time, will greatly impact the time that you are using for schooling.
One last thing- if you have a child that has trouble focusing on school work and has trouble completing it in a timely maner, then you may want to consider a small reward for when they complete their work. This could be like an hour of tv time, computer time, video games or outside time, something that they look forward to when they get all their work completed. This may help the day go more smoothly.
Wow! Time is going so fast. I can't believe it is almost December!!! I don't know about you, but I usually start adding Christmas into our homeschool right after Thanksgiving is over. I am hoping to do an interactive notebook this year of Christmas Around the World, but I will have to see if my printer is fixed in time. Unfortunately, it started leaking. Ugh!!! Well, I wanted to share some resources that I have put together for Christmas.
