Tiany over at Less of Me, More of Him, is hosting a "Homeschool Open House", so I decided to hop on board with this great idea! Feel free to join in as well! Thanks, Tiany!
A short intro about you, how many blessings? How long have you been Home schooling etc.. Just in case this is someone’s first visit to your blog
Welcome to Innovative Learning by Cindy Q. The Lord has blessed me with seven children; 21, 19, 18, 17, 11, 10 & 6. We have five boys and two girls. We began home schooling sixteen years ago. My poor older children suffered through all my trials although they do not appear to be suffering from any damage. LOL
Your Home school Day, what does it look like?
My home-school day is very routine. We each have our own schedules we follow loosely. Our schedules are really our accountability sheets. We all know what is expected of us, so we have no excuse for not getting it done. I found this to help most when mom is gone because school and chores do still continue. See last years school schedule and chore chart; new school year schedule under construction.
What curriculum will you be using? Do you not use a curriculum? Do you home school for FREE? Tell us about it!
I’ve tried just about every curriculum and then some. I’m sure, my husband wishes our home school was for free. We use a variety of curriculum or create our own, always trying to teach according to each child’s learning style and needs. To view our Bible Devotional, Mathematics, Creation Science and Ancient History; see Our Home School
I do plan ahead, this allows us the freedom to move at our own pace. Being organized makes life more relaxed and structured. Home-schooling allows me the freedom to teach according to the needs of our children not our lesson plan.
Do you schedule your day to the minute or go with the flow with no real structure?
The only times we try to follow; rising in the morning, breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime. We try to keep our routine structured and flexible allowing our schedules to mold around all those daily life interruptions.
Do you home school in a home school room, at the kitchen table, at a desk, in the park on the grass?
No home-school room. My younger children do have desks although they do very little school work at them. Where we go, school goes. You might find us in the kitchen, living room, hall, car, park or bedroom. (My younger children need supervision or will get distracted.)
