Managing your Homeschool
I just finished an amazing book called "Manager of her Home". It is a book written by a mom that had 12 children and home schooled them all. She shares tips on how to schedule your children throughout the day to maximize time and get all things accomplished. I have implemented her system and I am amazed what I am accomplishing every day. I wake at 5am( I know, insane). Get my run and Bible Study in and then, I start with the first child's homeschooling at 6am. Everyone is scheduled at hour or 1/2 hours intervals throughout the day. We are intense till noon and then things relax and 7Th grade and up are off to two hours of private school classes to help supplement home school curriculum. I was a little worried how I was going to manage. Not only do I have my eight children but I also have 4 additional children that I have taken on the responsibility of schooling.
All in all , I can say that it has been a blast. We are having so much fun. The kids are having fun also. The science experiments and discussions take on a whole new life with a group of kids discussing. I am schooling a Junior, Sophomore, Freshmen, 8Th grader, Three 7Th graders, 4Th grader, 2nd grader and then I have the 3 year old and the 1 year old. I am worried that it is to good to be true but I also know that God is probably giving me a ton of grace through all of this. I officially have a buzzing school room and I love it! My new career as teacher is well suited to me.
