 she's right here. I'm gonna be showing her home school routine. In the mornings it's a little bit chaotic because I do have two toddlers. I have a one and a three-year-old. As you can hear them right now, I'm being crazy. We typically keep our home school really light. Right now my daughter is working on her creative writing in her daily journal and I'm going to go ahead and get some breakfast done and I will try my best to show you glimpses of our day and everything that happens. So I hope you guys enjoy watching my nine-year-old's home school routine. Okay you guys, while I have everyone at the table a little bit settled, I have my two toddlers kind of coloring. They're doing whatever they want to do. Brielle is working on her daily journal. My little one is calling me. I think I'm just gonna make some muffins really quick this morning and probably some eggs. Just something really really simple. I love these little box kits. They always come in hand so let me go ahead and get to work. Mama's here. I don't know about you guys but me as a mom of three cooking breakfast is pretty much the hardest task that I have to do in the morning. I'm not too sure why this meal is always the hardest for me. My toddlers always seem to get into something. They are definitely a handful but you guys I love them to death. So for breakfast time I really try my best to keep things very very simple. My daughters they love muffins and raisin toasts and bagels and by me doing this it definitely keeps things flowing in the mornings for me. I love listening to praise and worship and gospel music in the morning you guys. It is so uplifting. I put my music on our speaker and I just let it play out loud. I get a little praise dancing every now and then and my daughters love listening to all of the gospel and his spiritual music in the morning as well. Here goes a live view of what it actually sounds like this morning. No that wasn't nice. Did you color on mama's couch? She got into a dry erase marker and this is how to sign my couch list right now. Okay you guys off camera I went ahead and did my two toddlers hair. This is a normal time that I do their hair in the morning. I try my best to keep them looking cute. I don't do their hair every day but I'm trying my best to get into the habit of doing their hair every day because I have noticed a behavior change especially when they're all dialed up and they're looking cute. I went ahead you guys and I gave my daughters some bulgar just to hold them over. The muffins are still cooking in the oven and I just want to make sure that they have a little snack while they're waiting. You guys these muffins came out so good. They were really delicious. These box kits they have definitely been surprising me and they have definitely been coming in on hand. So my daughter Brielle she finished her creative writing and she is in the kitchen helping me cook. I have been making sure Brielle's been coming in the kitchen with me ever since last December. I really feel like cooking is a good life skill for any child to have and her being nine she's at the perfect age to learn how to cook. She loves coming on the stove with me for every meal especially now dinner time to learn how to cook new things. So here is breakfast you guys we have muffins. I had some potatoes in the refrigerator I just heated up in a microwave and I'm going to send a plate downstairs to my husband. My husband is still working from home. I feel so blessed that he's still here. So I try my best to bring down some breakfast to him in the mornings. He has a lot of morning meetings and he can't really get upstairs to get any breakfast so that's just my little treat that I love to do for him as well. Okay you guys while the kids are eating I'm gonna go ahead and do Bible. This is a time I normally do Bible for all of them even my younger toddlers. I have like all of their books and I have my big stack right here of books that we're gonna read for our devotion in morning time. So yeah let me go ahead and get started while they're still eating. Oh you ready for me to read your book? Okay. God made friends. Are you ready? God made us to laugh. He made us to share. I will sing about the Lord's love song 89 verse 1. Okay we'll read about Noah since you want to read about Noah. Okay Leigh? We'll read about Noah. Okay are you ready? This man is who's this man? And it's Noah. Noah lived a long time ago. Noah was God's special friend. One day God told Noah it was going to rain and rain. Make a big. Your family will be safe. Bible time in the morning with my daughters is my favorite part of the day. This is what reminds me of my goal and my purpose to home school is to teach my daughters all about God and just to let them know that he is always there for them and to build that foundation and that relationship with him. I feel like I would never have this one on one opportunity with my daughters if I wasn't homeschooling and I just love this morning time that we get to build character and just seeing my daughters learn and thrive in God. My daughter Brielle she actually does a separate devotion. She actually does her September in co-cards that talks about different character. Right now we are on forgiveness. We also read a daily devotional book called How God Grows Courageous Girls and she does her primary Sabbath school lesson as well. We have like a morning basket with all of our Bible things and if you guys want like more details about like our Bible and morning routine I will be glad to make another video about that especially because this is definitely my passion and the center of our homeschool. We finish Bible and we are headed in Bible and we ate breakfast so Brielle is going to go ahead and do typing.com. The two little ones are still eating right now. During Bible time they eat sometimes they just take a little bit longer so yeah I'm gonna go ahead and let her do typing then after this we will go into our read aloud so Brie go ahead and get your typing done baby. Oh you got a video to watch. Oh we use typing.com it's a free typing curriculum that's online and my daughter loves it so yeah. Okay you guys Brielle she's finished in typing and we are about to start our reading time. I have this big old basket right here of all of my toddlers like board books and things like that that I like to read to them too and then Brielle she listens to packs right here on audible. Our morning you guys if you haven't noticed are very laid back because I really need to give myself this flexibility especially when I have all three of my girls up I really need to be present here for my toddlers because they demand my attention. Yes so they want my attention and everything like that so when they go to sleep is when me and Brielle will really hit it hard with our core curriculum but for right now it's kind of like a rainy day you guys. We're just going to get our blankets and we're just going to do some nice reading time right baby. We got to read. Yeah we're going to read. Several times in just these few days it has become an old argument. He watched her shake off water in the doorway and reminded him of packs. The dog like way he did that. Was it raining where he went? Would he still shake himself off if there was no warm dry inside to come into? Peter's sugar and rubbed his arms. What's the matter? You look like you're in pain. During reading time I try my best to multitask between my two toddlers. They always are grabbing many books out of the basket for us to read. We typically do our purely preschool but in this video I didn't show you guys us doing our purely preschool and all of the books we've been reading with that unit as well. So right now I have my daughter playing with some magnetals in my front closet. I have the Legos. I have magnetals. I have so many different blocks and sensory things for them to do that I pull out during this time. You guys my daughters they love Elmo. They love Cocoa Mellon and my job in the morning is not to turn on the TV until lunchtime. So I have been very successful in that but it's really hard sometimes because they love their Cocoa Mellon. Brielle she is about to go ahead and do math. I have like maybe about a hour before it's time for me to put my two younger ones down for a nap. So this is our new little homeschool room right now. This is like my office slash our homeschool room. If you've seen my last video you would have seen me setting up this area in the desk for Brielle. I can do like a full tour showing you guys like all of like the little details inside of all of our drawers and everything like that but Brielle is going to go ahead and do her math. I need to go from back downstairs with my toddlers. So she can do this math very independently. She doesn't need me. We're doing a Becca arithmetic 4 and she's been enjoying it. Sometimes she does you know get frustrated with the amount of problems. So you guys I just crossed out the extra practice. She just does the meat of it and yeah. So I can run back downstairs and let Brielle do her math work up here independently and quietly. So yeah. We're finishing up her lunch. I just put the girls down. I don't think they're quite asleep yet. Let's see. They're in their beds but I don't think they're quite sleep just yet. So what I'm going to go ahead and do is I'm going to check Brielle's math work right here that she did and I'm just going to see what she got wrong if it's anything you finished. If it's anything that we need to go over and since she finished her lunch and she's up here right now with me what I will do is I'll go ahead and have her do her spelling lesson while I check her math work so we can kind of be getting two things done at one time. I like to utilize the time that we have really really good just because the girls are going to be sleep for maybe an hour and a half to possibly two hours. So we have to get all of our the rest of our core work done. So for today all we have left to do is for us to go over math. We have English spelling and today we have history. Oh that's your checklist. So Brielle is just showing you guys her checklist that I made here. Let me see her checklist that I made for her today and she loves when I make these because this allows her to be like more independent where she can see what she's expected and if it's something or sometimes I am busy with my two younger toddlers she doesn't have to stop and wait for me. She can just go on to the next thing like if I was still putting Leia and Alana down for a nap she could have came in here and went and started with her spelling and things like that things that she knows she can do on her own without me. So yeah let me go ahead and start checking her work and she's gonna work on her spelling lesson that she did. So in the Abeka it has like the green parts that's extra practice so I just crossed them out so this is her lesson for today you guys and she only missed one problem in all of her problems. So what she normally does is she'll get her dry erase board right here and she will work out the problem one more time and sometimes I go over it with her and then for her speed drill she did an awesome job on her speed drill. She only missed one so out of all of those problems she did she only missed two. So even though Brie doesn't really like math that much she's really good at it. She's not the worst for Brie. So she's really good at it and I just make this workbook work for us. I don't have her do like all the problems we just do whatever works out for us. So she's gonna go ahead and finish that up and I'm gonna go ahead and get everything ready for us to start English and just kind of like get the ball moving for us. So yeah for English we are using Building Christian English Series by Rod and Staff and you guys my daughter loves this simple English curriculum. The teaching portion of this curriculum I find is not really teacher intensive at all especially in this great level. It takes me maybe about five possibly ten minutes to go over the lesson with my daughter and then she does the written practice all on her own. She doesn't really meet me after that point. I just like to use my dry erase board because my daughter is a visual learner and I just love having this here for her. So Brie Brie is working on her spelling and we're gonna get a little spelling dictation going as well. Okay so you guys Brielle wants to share with you her daily journal story or whatever. She does daily journal or creative writing sometimes four times out the week. It just depends whenever she feels like it. This is just the opportunity in the morning for her to like to jot down like all of her thoughts and everything like that. So she's gonna read to you guys her cute little poem she wrote. So go ahead Brie. I'm about the way. Okay. Alright. This is called a fall tradition. Fall is so pretty. Its colors rise. The leaves come out sweetly with the colors all bright. The yummy cider jumping in leaves. Fall is creative. Fall is calm. So the breeze fall is autumn. Awesome Brie. Awesome. I wrote some of the words incorrectly for our purpose. Here goes the other picture. Oh Brie that's beautiful. I like that poem. It has autumn on the side. Extra. You did awesome. Okay you guys we are about to do our rod and staff English building with diligence. My daughter actually prefers this over the master books. So yeah that's your student book and this is the teacher's guide. So Brie she actually prefers this over master books. So you guys to really be honest we have been doing this more noun than ever and I really don't mind. I like it too. I think she likes it because it is really straight to the point and this just gives her her grammar and then she's good to go. I've been enjoying it. I love the teaching component. It gives me everything I need and I can't believe this curriculum I found that used for only $13 and yeah we've really been enjoying rod and staff. So this really right now has become our primary English that we have been sticking with. So yeah so we're gonna go ahead and get into our rod and staff lesson. Yes. Okay Brie so oh this is sorry you guys this is Brielle's little composition book that she uses to write with her written work with rod and staff and then I have like these really cool erasable marker pens that I let her just choose whatever color she wants to use for the day. It just makes it kind of fun because the book is really simple. It's like black and white on the inside. It's no fancy frills or anything like that. So I figured to let her write in color pen that might like spice it up a bit but I think she likes the simplicity of rod and staff and I think that's why I like it as well. Okay Brie so we are on lesson number 11. Okay so in your textbook you're gonna turn to page oh you want to write your um oh yeah turn to page 46. Okay you got it? Okay so what two parts of speech does every sentence have? Good job. Every sentence must begin with what and end with what? Each sentence must begin with the subject and end with the predicate. Each sentence must begin with a capital letter and end with a what? Good job. Good job. Brielle she just got finished finishing her rod and staff English. It was really simple. Today we were just diagramming um compound subjects and predicates. She did an awesome job. Hopefully you can kind of see this like here right here with all of her color pens that she used but um yeah. So we are all done. We typically do Amazing Africa today for our history but you guys we are exhausted. Brielle right now she's laying on the floor. She's done. I'm done. It's a rainy day and I think we're going to pretty much just be laid back the rest of today and just chill. Brielle she may do like some independent play during this time and then she will do her piano practice but for the most part we we're just gonna call it a day. In the days like this where we don't get to either science or history I will just push it to Friday on our fun Fridays and doing that one history or one science lesson it really isn't a big deal. I think honestly it's more important that we listen to our bodies and we just stop when we are ready to stop. So I still find today to be very successful because we got done writing, typing, reading, math, and language arts and I really feel like you know we had a successful school day and I'll take that. So you guys I really hope you enjoyed today's video. I hope you enjoy seeing my nine-year-old homeschool routine and hopefully you guys can take some take away from anything that we did today and you know bring it into your homeschool. We really keep things really laid back and simple here and we kind of just go with the flow. So you guys I look forward to seeing everybody in my next video. Please don't forget to comment, like, and subscribe and I'll see everybody next time. Bye!
