 Hey guys, my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel. You guys in today's video I'm going to be talking about my yearly daily and my quarterly goals for our upcoming homeschool year I am so excited you guys to be sharing our daily schedule and how we're going to do things around our homeschool this year So if you guys are interested in watching then go ahead and stay tuned for today's video So if any of you guys are new here to my channel again, my name is Brittany. I'm actually a mama three girls I have a nine three and a one year old and I'm going into my second year of homeschooling you guys I am still very nervous and but I'm really excited and hopeful for our upcoming school year um One thing I can say about homeschooling schedules and everything like that is that I definitely want to allow myself to continue to be flexible at when it comes to our homeschooling schedule In our daily flow and just how we keep things in our home I am still in a season that is pretty hard last year when I started my homeschooling year I had a six month old and I had a two year old So I was breastfeeding and potty training at the same time as long as along with homeschooling So I definitely had my hands full and I'm still not in a season where it's definitely going to be smooth I do have a one and a three year old and I know our days are going to be jam packed and it's going to be You know crazy Again, but I do want to allow myself some flexibility. So if any of you guys do have some young ones I definitely hope that um me showing you guys my daily flow And my yearly schedule would probably help you guys, especially if you're in my same boat So I'm going to flip the camera around you guys and I'm just going to lay out everything and show it to you guys Okay, you guys this right here is actually my um Yearly schedule that I have for our upcoming 2021 2022 school year So you guys I just went online and I just printed this sheet off and um, yeah This is how I did my schedule for last school year. So it worked out just fine So I did the same thing So I just got a calendar so I can see the whole school year So our start date is actually going to be august 2nd You guys I have two weeks to get this all in order, but I'm really really excited and hopeful So that is our start date and our first eight weeks is going to end on September the 24th I have scheduled our first week break at the end of September because we're actually going to be doing One last vacation of the year during this time right here And that's one thing I do love about homeschooling now is that we can just stop anytime we want to do You know any vacation so I'm really excited about us doing this vacation at the end of september Um after that we are going to just go ahead and start off in october We're going to be doing weeks nine through 15 and then we're going to have a break for Thanksgiving break I do have the week 16 right here Just because if we have anything we need to catch up with that we didn't finish within our first semester that we need to This week 16 is really like a catch-up week I did one ahead and I marked off week 17 and 18 right here Just because I'm going to be using these two weeks right here as like some type of like Christmasy fun activity Unschooling type of thing going on so I'm still going to go ahead and count these Two weeks in december before we take our official break as like some type of unschooling Thing last year you guys we went ahead. We did so much like baking and we read so many like Christmas stories We did like so many Christmas arts and crafts and things like that And brielle had so much fun and I want to go ahead and incorporate something like that as well Um last year what I did was when we did all of that cooking and baking I went ahead and just added like a home economics. Um credit for brielle Just saying that you know that was like an elective we did and added it into our school year So that's what I do have us scheduled to do on the 17th and 18th And then we will start our regular core work on the fourth Just because my baby girl lana is going to be two on this second So I went ahead and took the day off on the third and we will go ahead and just start back our school year for our second Um semester on the fourth I have us working all the way really up until this week break in um april Now if brielle needs to take a break anytime in between here I will not hesitate to take a break with her But you guys like greed when she gets the momentum she's trucking along and sometimes She's dragging her mama and she's like come on mom. I want to do school So I'm just really going to go with her flow this year But if we do need to take additional break in between january february march, we will Um, I have us scheduled to end our school term on the 13th of may now If we take any week additional week off it would just fall down uh to the 20th However, you guys this year brielle was really done with all of her core work by I think it was like the 6th or the 13th And I just gave her busy work for those last like week and a half of school And I feel really really bad about it this year if she does get finished with her core work We're just going to be doing like reading arts and crafts Unschooling and I'll just count those days especially if she gets done early like she did last year I'm not going to just give her busy work for the sake of busy work to say I have to count a school day So yeah, this is going to be our yearly schedule. And yeah, again Like I said, we're just going to just this is tentative if we need to change anything We will but this is just what I have for us to start off with Okay, I hope you guys can see this. I really love to write in purple ink I don't know. I started writing in purple ink a while back. And yeah, it's just been my jam So this right here you guys is going to be our daily schedule Now this schedule right here is the same exact schedule that we did last year My husband he works from home and he actually doesn't start work until 9 a.m So last year what I did was I utilized that time when before he went to work I mean, we're typically downstairs You guys my like 745 8 o'clock my girls are early risers So um, bria will eat like a quick full oatmeal Sometimes she will make a bagel and we went straight into math So we would do math then After we did one of her like subjects where she really needed me We would um take a break. She would do like her creative writing and then this school year I'm adding and fixing grammar Then from there we would do like our bible study reading Then I have us doing our unit study We're going to be starting off our unit study this year doing our amazing africa heritage pack And that's unit study is really charlotte mason you guys So it's going to be like a lot of reading and or narration and things like that So it's less I should say worksheet heavy It's more so reading and literature based and then I have us flowing into language arts So this is what we did our last school year In the afternoon when I had both of my toddlers my one in my three year old taking a nap brio Did typing independent reading and this year we're adding in piano So This is the first schedule that I have set up just because this schedule it worked However, I'm kind of nervous because during this whole time That I was doing these activities. I only had One toddler up which was leia my two year old at that time So I really was only entertaining her alana was sleep while I was able to get all this stuff done with brio Now that they're taking one long stretch nap you guys together If I was to do this schedule except for this morning time when my husband was will be with me I will have to do all of this In managing two toddlers. So I was kind of nervous about this schedule So I went ahead and I created another schedule So this right here you guys is the second schedule that I created Just because I think this schedule might be the one I go with I'm not too sure But this one will honestly be um, it will be it will be probably the best one So right first thing in the morning I do have us doing our creative writing or we're doing her creative writing and her fix a grammar again These two things are fairly independent while brio is doing those independent things I will be doing preschool time with leia my three year old She loves first thing in the morning you guys when she sees her stuff on the table She just wants to go so that's what I do with her is I just let her do her preschool time Especially while brio is really independent Then while we are like eating breakfast and doing our other things We will do like our bible study Our reading and again this kind of flows into the same schedule We're doing right now for summer where I will read all of my toddlers like nursery rhymes their type of books And then I will add in brio's read aloud and whatever book she's reading Then we can kind of flow straight into our amazing africa unit study again It's literature based it's still going to be reading So that's pretty much all going to be combined together Then I will let brio do her typing which is completely independent. She doesn't need me for that And then after that we will break for lunch. We will um I will get the two younger ones my one of my three year olds down for afternoon nap We will go outside before their nap. I will let them run out all their energy You guys because right now they are taking their nap from 12 to 2 Sometimes I can get them to sleep 12 to 3 if I really allow them to just run out all of that energy and everything like that So um, I was thinking about doing this and then in the afternoon while they're taking this taking a nap brio can really have my undivided attention while we do her two core subjects Which would be math and language arts then um, I'll have her doing independent reading and piano Now her piano practice she could do it anytime throughout the day and independent reading sometimes brio does her independent reading Before she goes to bed and that's just like another time she does like to read especially during our school year So this schedule right here would probably be the one that would work best Just because if I was to do our old schedule, like I said before I would just have to manage both of my toddlers and I just don't know if I could do that. So Yeah Now with both of these schedules our fridays do look exactly the same. I do have her doing her handwriting um, I added in poetry you guys just because um brio she really loves writing She loves all forms of writing But I didn't do a lot of poetry and I feel like I need to add that in because I might find she might she might like to write poetry and poems and things like that So I ordered some poetry books so we can do like our poetry tea time and things like that on friday Again, we're going to be doing our reading and bible study That's just like a part of our natural flow and then I do have scheduled Our art that we're going to be doing for our first eight weeks since she's doing her amazing africa I do have eight arts and crafts scheduled for us to do I do have like nature study here and this right here you guys for nature study means that I'm going to be Intentional and getting all my girls outside. I'm going to let them make mud pies get dirty get messy. Take them to the park I'm just going to be intentional with that time in nature I'm putting it on a schedule so I can make sure I do it for them And again friday will be like a catch-up day now fridays all of these things right here you guys I know will probably be done by like maybe 10 o'clock honestly So she will be able to just continue to have fun and do other things that she loves and enjoys So this right here is going to be Schedule one schedule two and again like I said, I think I might go ahead and try schedule two I'm just only a little bit hesitant to try schedule two just because When we did schedule one braille was done with all of her school by like 11 30 sometimes because we started so early in the morning And if we do this schedule braille might not be done until later in the afternoon However, with our situation with our daily flow and with the two little ones This one will probably be more effective and we can't really get things done. So Yeah Now I wanted to show you guys this little to-do list that I had for braille that I made last year for her braille She definitely loves being able to just check things off the list and seeing everything she's going to be doing for the day Um, she definitely sent or definitely wanted some type of independence at the end of our last school year So I started making this little checklist and this little notebook and allowing her to see what she had to do for the day What were we're going to get up to and then towards the end you guys I started getting crafty I started adding like little stickers and things like that and she loved every morning coming downstairs and seeing Like what I wrote in like her little notebook and things like that. So Um, I have this notebook that I got from the dollar tree It's completely blank right now and I was thinking about doing the same thing However, you guys Wendy just introduced her new student planner Wendy from plan prep flight plan prep pray She had introduced her new student planner this week and you guys I want to get it so bad However, after I made my curriculum video my husband. He's been looking at the homeschool budget So I'm gonna have to wait to get it, but I definitely know since Brielle already likes To-do list that she would really enjoy that planner. So Um, I'm gonna have to wait until our rolling funds We get some more funds in our homeschool budget and I think that's probably going to be something I'm going to purchase because I already know Brielle will love like that just because she already loves me writing out little checklists But for now, I do have this little dollar Folder and I do have stickers and I'm just going to get her started off because again She just likes to see what she's going to be doing for that day And she just likes to do especially her independent work She just likes to do it and she doesn't want me to tell her what to do and you guys I'm really happy because this is going to lead us up towards Her older grades for her to be doing things independently And then also too is just going to allow me more room because next year Leah's going to be in pre-k and then when Brielle's The following year she will be um leah will be in kindergarten. So I will officially have you know two homeschool Schooling kid age kids. So the faster I can get Brielle to be independent the better it's going to be for me Especially when it comes time to add in another kid that I'm going to be homeschooling. So yeah I really hope you guys enjoyed today's video I hope you guys enjoyed seeing my yearly daily and my um quarterly goals for our upcoming school year You guys I'm so excited. I am actually on countdown right now I have two more weeks until our school year gets here And I have a few more things that I do need to get done to get prepared but overall I am excited I'm nervous and I'm hopeful that we are going to have another good year homeschooling So as always you guys, please don't forget to comment like and subscribe and I will see everybody in my next one Bye
