 Hi you guys, my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel. You guys in today's video I'm going to share with you Brielle, my 10 year olds homeschool routine. This video you guys is in a collaboration with two of my really close friends Lauren from the practical homeschooler and Gina from Gina B Homeschool. We have came together to show you guys our kids routines. Now we all have different kids of different ages. I'm not too sure which daughter Lauren is going to show in her video and I believe Gina is going to show her son Nicholas who is in the second grade. She's going to show his routine. So you guys are going to be able to get a good glimpse of all of our kids homeschool routines and I'm really excited to be making this video with them today. So you guys I really hope you guys enjoy seeing what we do on a daily basis and just kind of seeing how different everyone's homeschool is. So Gina Lauren thank you for making this video with me. I'm so happy that we have partnered together once again. Okay you guys, Brie just finished her facts practice. She did really really good. She timed four minutes and 36 seconds and yeah. So today in Saxon she has her test. You're doing test number three. Are you ready Brie? You are. Okay so I have her test solution sheet right here where she's going to fill out her test. So I'm going to give Brie some space and I'm going to let her finish her test but good job on your facts practice Brie. Thank you. Okay Brie before you get started on your math test can you tell me how you're enjoying Nicole the math lady? I like it. The videos are really cool. You like the videos? Mm-hmm. Yeah doesn't Nicole the math lady teach better than mommy? Yeah a little bit. That's fine. That's fine. Okay go ahead Brie you can finish your test. Okay you guys Brielle she is finished with her math test and she is downstairs. Brie has been really helping me with breakfast. She's been really enjoying like being in the kitchen a lot more. We're downstairs. The girls are down here my little ones. There goes one right here Alana and then Leia she's right there. So it's a lot more chaotic now because my husband he is at work so we're going to get started with breakfast and then Bible. So yeah. Okay Brie what's for breakfast today? I've got sausages. You made us sausages and what else are we going to have? And some waffles. Okay so sorry for the noise you guys so we're going to have sausage. Brielle's going to make eggs and then she's also going to make some she's also going to make some waffles. So good breakfast. Good breakfast Brie. Just wanted to show you what we're going to be doing for a Bible. We're going to be going over the fruits of the spirit. We're going to be going over 1st Corinthians 13 verse 4 through 8 Psalms 23 the Lord's Prayer and we've also been memorizing the books of the Bible. This I guess is my little fake morning menu. We're going to be going over the character of goodness. We're going to be reading from our African-American poetry book and then her devotion today is how that grows a courageous girl. Look Brie your breakfast looks good. I have sausages. Looks good. The girls are already eating. Good job making breakfast Brie. Okay let's go ahead and get into Bible. Gentleness and self-control. Look it's right there see. It does not boast. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1st and 2nd, 3rd, John, Jude, Revelation. Yes okay so Brie is starting spelling. She's doing 180 days of spelling and word study. So she is on what day are we on now Brie? You're on day three of week seven. So we're on day three of week seven so she's going to go ahead and get started with that right now. Okay tell them what you're going to be doing. I'm going to be doing so the directions are so I'm going to be doing I'm basically going to find the word in the word bank and then I'm going to match it with the definition. Okay you're so you find the word in the word bank and matching it with the definition. Okay good job Brie. Okay you guys Brie is finished with her spelling. Today is Wednesday so I have like speech therapy with Leia with my youngest daughter. She didn't do too well in this session. She was kind of like goofing off and playing but I mean we do speech therapy virtually so it's kind of crazy. So right now Brie she's over here. I don't know if you can see her but she's over here. We're having like snack time and break time in between spelling and then we will get into our rotten staff English. We have about like an hour before lunch time so she'll do that and then this afternoon we get an opportunity to kind of like have fun with like our black history month. The girls the younger ones they're over here too they're on their tablets you guys. I just wanted to show that to you guys. I do have to use technology in order for me to get a lot of things done. I normally don't pull out the tablets until it's like right before lunch time. I allow them to use them then and then they take their nap time and then I can kind of finish out their day. So if you have little ones and you do have to use technology or the TV don't feel bad. It is what it is. You just have to get these things done so they're going to finish up their snack and then we're going to finish off some English. Hey you guys I know this sounds really crazy but today just happened to be a test day for us. So Brielle right now she is about to do an English test. We actually just finished chapter five and our rotten staff building English Christian series. So here goes her test right here she's going to do and I'm just going to go back downstairs with the kids and I'm going to let her go ahead and finish her test and see how much she has retained from chapter five that we just went over. So you're excited Brie? You're going to do great. Yeah I'm going to get this for my diagram. Yes and Brie likes to use a ruler when she does her sentence diagram and she likes her diagrams to look really really neat. Okay you guys I just laid my um toddlers down to take a nap and they're in there being crazy. They're not quite asleep just yet but today since Brielle had to take so many tests I just decided to save it for the afternoon for me to grade them. So I need to grade her spelling her math and I need to also grade her English test that she just took and if it's anything that she missed we'll kind of like go over it and then we will head into like our black history. So I'm going to go ahead and grade it and hopefully by the time I grade it the two younger ones they will be asleep. So yeah Okay you guys I also made a second cup of coffee. I normally don't make coffee um in the afternoon I'll drink like a chai tea latte but I ran out so I made me another cup of coffee. I'm going to drink it so I can just kind of like have enough energy to get through our black history time because it's so special when me and Brie get an opportunity to have this time while the younger ones are asleep and do like our history. So uh let me go ahead and get to this. I want you to go back right here Brie and come here come look right here you forgot to underline what does it say for you to be it wants you to underline your what your direct objects so make sure you look through those and underline what the direct objects are okay. Okay you guys Brie she missed a few on her spelling so she is using dictionary.com on my phone to figure out uh which words go right here and while she's doing that I just want to show you guys her test she told me it was okay for me to show you guys her test so this is the test number three that she did right here with Saxon. She did really really well with it here goes her test so she got an A. She missed one question on it and what I love about Saxon so much is that the question that she missed it has the lesson number right here that I was able to go back to the lesson number and explain to her why she got the question wrong and just to make sure she understood it and that's one thing I really love about Saxon math. Brie is doing Saxon 6.5 and right now we are going to be starting lesson number 21 so she's just trucking right along on this and she's doing really really well so um we have really been enjoying Saxon um she also had a facts practice that she did this morning like you guys seen and she did an awesome job on that as well. I really love these facts fluency sheets because I'm noticing she has been coming uh she's been getting really really fast when it comes to math just by doing these um drills so yeah so she did really really good on her test and we can keep on going forward with this. For riding staff again Brie did awesome on this test she actually got that was her other test she did. Where's the one for today yeah she's been doing really good on these tests but today she actually didn't miss any she did really really well diagramming her sentences and everything like that so she did an awesome job I have really been enjoying riding staff riding staff is a lot different from uh other English curriculums because it is a mastery approach where for each chapter we are only going over one element so we just completed chapter five which was using verbs correctly and then we're going to be heading into chapter six which is pronouns and even though she's only going to be going over pronouns just this one chapter they do have like a little review and practice where they will mix in other concepts that we did go over already and just um kind of like build them in the lesson as well so we only have what one two three four five we're stopping at chapter 10 at the end of the school year we're not going to do chapter 11 because she's really really good at capitalization and dictionary skills so we're going to end off on chapter 10 this school year we do a chapter in about two weeks so she's doing really really well with this so we're just taking our time with our um English series so here you guys we are about to start Black History today we are going to be talking about Dr. Wagnari Mathana and it's really cool because we actually read a really cool chapter book about her last year when we did our botany study so it's kind of cool we're going to read read about her again Brie wants to make a cover page for all of her like black history uh pictures that she has so when black history month is over she'll have like a way to store all of her uh coloring and behind it it will have my paragraph her bibliography it sure will so this right here is the template right here for her bibliography that she's going to write I don't know if we're going to write the bibliography today or not just because Brie has done a lot of tests today I kind of just want to just let her color and read and we can just take our time tomorrow and do our bibliography on Dr. Wagnari Mathana these are the books I'm going to read aloud to Brie while she's coloring I'm going to read Gone Crazy in Alabama we're going to read our ABCs of Black History I Affirm Me and then we're going to find all the information about Dr. Wagnari in this book right here Timelines for Black History but this right here is the page we're going to be reading today about Dr. Wagnari Mathana and um yeah I'm really excited about that okay and we're on letter L right here for I Affirm Me and the ABCs of Black History we have only been reading one to two letters a day so both of these books can last for the whole month um so Brie's been really enjoying reading a few letters L is for leader I am a role model for others I listen and learn I have the confidence to stand up for myself because what I say matters Brie so L is for love L is for love L is always for love okay Brie so Dr. Wagnari Mathana do you remember where she's from uh Kenya good job she's from Kenya Wagnari Mathana she was born in 1940 and she died in 2011 was founder of the Green Belt Movement which was an organization that has arranged the planting of more than 51 million trees in Kenya that is everything that we do in a day our homeschool routine I know it was kind of crazy because you really didn't get a chance to see me like teach Brielle a lesson she had a lot of tests today and it's so crazy I don't even know how that happened but um today we really uh was able to sit together and work on our Black History for Black History Month you guys Brielle has really been enjoying Black History you can see her board back here it's definitely getting full and uh we have definitely been enjoying learning about all of these great Black scientists inventors just people that have had a big impact in our world so I'm really really excited that we have carved out that extra special time in our homeschool to do that this month so you guys I really hope you enjoy seeing Brielle's routine nothing's really changed since the last day in life video we are definitely still in this in the thick of this toddlerhood phase where I am wrangling toddlers and trying to homeschool at the same time but we're definitely making it work I think the only few things that I didn't show you guys in today's video was Brielle doing her piano practice in the afternoon normally this time right now she is doing her um her story writing she does a little story writing she does like independent uh play where she will like play and do things like that I really don't allow her to do like technology or anything like that until after four o'clock but other than that she has free range to do anything else that she wants to so you guys I hope you enjoy seeing uh today's video our routine please don't forget to go ahead and check out Lauren's and Gina's homeschool routines with their kiddos and you guys I look forward to seeing everybody in my next video bye
