I should say We already started off our homeschooling day as you guys are already seen my oldest completed math Um, I really need to go ahead and get started with breakfast The only thing that I did was I made myself some coffee. Well coffee I am trying to limit the amount of caffeine that I'm drinking now So this is actually Roma, which is like a coffee alternative and it's really really good you guys So I made myself a little cup and we're just gonna go ahead and get on into our day This is so crazy this is like my first day in a life that I'm filming for you guys for this homeschooling year and I'm excited to like bring to you guys like more day in a life So it's really really hard for me now to make these day in the lives because I'm homeschooling all three of my kiddos in some form of capacity and It's kind of like hard to maneuver all of the moving part And yeah, so as you guys can hear you can hear all the kiddos in the background They're pretty loud, but this is you know my homeschool. This is our day in a life So I'm gonna go ahead. We're gonna make a quick breakfast My daughter wants us to have cream of wheat today, which is kind of like a hot cereal I'm gonna cook it takes really really fast for us to cook it And we're gonna eat some breakfast and continue on our homeschooling day Okay, you guys we've wanted to make breakfast for us, but this is cream of wheat since it's now officially fall We've really really enjoyed this hot cereal and then we're probably gonna go ahead and have some Sausages with it as well. So That's kind of like our simple breakfast and the younger kids they like to eat cereal So yeah, so this takes like two and a half minutes and we're eating breakfast And of course I have like fruit and stuff like that for them. Okay, you guys now while I have breakfast starting I'm gonna go ahead and go over Everything I want real accomplished for today so she can still feel like she's independent and I love Using my student or using her student planner and just having her write down everything that's in my planner So she can kind of know what I'm expecting of her for the day So when I get started with my younger kiddo, she doesn't really have to wait on me She can kind of continue on with her subjects So we're just gonna go ahead and go through everything she needs to do for today. So Okay, so for your English today what you're going to go ahead and do is You are going to go ahead and start your short scene So it's actually going to be Assignment number Yeah, it's assignment number three. So you are you're gonna work on your You're gonna use your vocabulary words to do a short scene now You have all week to do this assignment. So and three is just one scene. Yeah, I'm not Can't make a whole chapter. It's just one scene. That's all they want to see you should look at what it works hands made us all Isaiah chapter 64 verse 8 There are some pretty interesting really weird animals in God's creation They don't frighten me at all Don't show me frogs and snakes and listen for my screen if I'm afraid at all. It's only in my dreams I've got a magic charm that I keep up my sleep. I can walk the ocean floor and never have to breathe Life doesn't frame me at all. Not at all. Not at all. Life doesn't frame me at all I might actually yes Okay, you guys I'm gonna give you a quick overview of all the curriculum that my sixth grader is using because she works pretty Well independently as you guys already seen I went ahead and I went over her day and her student planner So she kind of already has a good idea of what she's going to be doing for today. So Like when I always watch these day-to-life videos you guys I always love seeing like what the kiddos are using So I'm gonna give you a brief overview, especially if you guys are new here. So for vocabulary This is what Brielle is gonna do in this morning. These are vocabulary cartoons and they're really really cute cartoons that actually helps really retain or her retain vocabulary and this has been working really really well for her She uses each of her vocabulary words in her Vocabulary notebook and she does all the little exercises in here as well with the word and then once we get to the unit review She has like a little oral quiz that we do together and we've really been enjoying this So this is her vocabulary cartoons. We actually also Started using word ladders as well. I think this is the greats four through six. This was just a free PDF I decided to just try for Brielle because a vocabulary is a skill We're really trying to hone in on this year and she really really enjoys word ladders So these are her two things that she's gonna do this morning as her independent work for her vocabulary In her folder as well. I have her fix a grammar. We pulled this baby back out. I have her oak metals English I have her English notebook. This is actually her old fifth grade one. You guys I just put a sticker over it and she uses this when she's doing any type of grammar Or vocabulary or sentences short stories that she does in her oak metals English coursebook here is our ancient history notebook and then here is our oak metals ancient civilizations for history This is her science notebook our oak metals basic life science. This is her handwriting I also went ahead and pulled out one of our supplements, which is 180 days of science This I had since last year. So this is a good addition to our homeschool This is her flex binder which has like loose leaf paper that she uses when she's doing either her IEW or any type of rough drafts For her writing assignments and oak metal and of course you guys we pull back out our old faithful IEW structure and style We did our first week last week this week. We're not doing IEW because Brielle is actually writing her first expository essay in her ancient civilizations because we're actually on ancient Africa right now So this is her a little line up right here in her basket and after we're done And I'm working and checking all her work will take her basket upstairs So this is all a Brielle's curricula So what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna go ahead and stack up all of her morning work And I'm going to go ahead and begin working with my kindergarten. Hey you guys I am upstairs right now and since I went ahead and I set up everything for Brielle to work independently What I typically do is I come upstairs real quick and I read over my kindergarteners Her instructions for like her preschool and I have like everything out that I need So we're going over like basic addiction So I went ahead and made sure that I made all the new flashcards that I need for Leia All I need to make was like a plus sign and an equal sign for her for her math I have everything all laid out right here for her all about reading and I went ahead and I put the Letter towels app already on my computer so I can already have that ready to go when working with her because When I call her up here you guys I have to be one point because like my Her attention span is really really short And I have to like get the lessons in with her So I'm gonna try to record as much as I can with her But I'm not going to guarantee you guys that I'm gonna be able to get a lot of stuff with her Because her lessons like I said I have to be really really focused with her So I have everything ready for all the stuff that we're gonna need and we're gonna go ahead and get into working with My kindergarten Okay, come on.

Which seal is different? We're gonna put a sticker on the one that's different Well, you want to see some like faces Okay, you guys at this point I typically do a quick reset in my home school room I just make sure I tidy up all of the things that I use with my Preschooler and with my kidney gardener and I like to stack up the items that I'm going to be using for the next day So since this is Tuesday, I already have everything planned out for the next day So this whole time I was upstairs my sixth grader was actually downstairs working independently And we swapped off while one of the kiddos was playing independently with their toys So she loves this autonomy that I give her in our home school to be able to Follow her checklist do everything that she has to do So right now my younger two they found another toy to play with independently and they're eating some crackers They're having a little snack time and during this time while my oldest is still working I like to do a chore in the house. So right now I'm just sweeping up the play-doh mess that they made I went ahead and I popped in another load of laundry And I just make sure to use my time effectively throughout the day. So I don't have everything just pile up on me Okay, you guys brishy finished all of her independent work I went ahead and I just put it back in her basket because we're going to take a quick break. I'm kind of tired We'll probably go ahead and eat some lunch right now I'm going to take the kids outside And then when we come back for our second half in the afternoon I'll go ahead and go over all of brielle's morning work And then we'll do history today because today is history And then after that our day is pretty much going to be uh over as far as like our homeschooling day The kids like to do like a lot of free playing stuff in the afternoon Brielle does a lot of like her reading and stuff in the afternoon. So um I'm going to just go ahead and share with you guys our second half of our homeschool day But for right now, we're going to take a quick break Eat lunch and we're going to go outside rabbit rice bowl All by that one Mini said and she pointed at the fiery orange fish with the black eyes and fin that had caught her eye The other village children looked at her enviously while the watching adults shook their heads Okay, you guys while the kids are finishing up lunch and they're cleaning up downstairs I just ran upstairs to go ahead and grate brielle's morning work from the morning time She did excellent on her fix it grammar as far as her oak metal this week. She's actually going to be Writing an expository essay. We are on lesson 11 So on monday, she went ahead and defined all of her vocabulary words and today What you guys was watching her do earlier this morning was she went ahead and used her vocabulary words And she created like a short scene and they give her all the instructions of how her short scene should be uh written And she really really had fun doing that creative writing assignment. So she Finished up this right here. So what should probably do is tomorrow She'll probably type it and we'll listen to it together And then towards the end of the week what she will she will do is since she is actually finishing up reading Her independent assigned reader, which is the rainbow people They have an assignment for her to go ahead and choose one of the following activities to do As like her reading recap assignment So she'll probably do this next week because i'm going to take two weeks on This particular lesson because she is writing a five paragraph essay in her history I want to give her enough time to be able to do all the assignments And I found some of the weeks we just spent two weeks on it instead of one Which is perfectly fine. They all seem to be like aligning up pretty well So i'm not too worried that we're going to spend two weeks on this particular week's worth of assignment because how oak metal works is um You pretty much they give you a list of the assignments like you see this is english And then I choose to break up all the assignments however we want to do them and or sometimes I go ahead and skip some of the assignments I'm really customizing this to work for us So since we're in ancient africa, these are some of the additional Picture book reads that we are going to go ahead and read. I went ahead and I was able to reserve these on hoopla So when brielle comes upstairs, we're going to go ahead and listen to one of the anastas Um, what is it like the little picture book anastas the spider? We're going to listen to him Uh on hoopla and then what brielle is going to do for history is since this is tuesday On monday, she typically does like all of her um Readings so what she's going to do is finish up reading her uh independent reading on ancient africa So she stopped right here So she's going to go ahead and finish reading about the drums art and storytelling. So that's one two three She has four more pages of reading to do and then um, she is also going to go ahead and choose The topic that she wants to write her expository essay on so, um They have a lot of topics that she can choose from so here is the topics a through d that she can choose from for her expository essay And she told me she wants to research one of the ancient african kingdoms and do her five paragraph essay on that So today what she'll probably do is finish reading and doing the outline and all i'm going to do with brielle This afternoon is just read one of our picture books together and just let her finish off her Independent assigned reading and then if she wants to she can go ahead and start her outline for her Expository essay, but i'm giving her two weeks to work on that. So she doesn't do her outline It's perfectly fine. So that is my lineup that i'm going to have us do for our ancient africa As you guys seen earlier, we read some of our old fafals We did africa study in her third grade year and i still have so many of the africa picture books So we read these two We all went on a safari and bring him went to capiti playing and then for her research I went ahead and check this book out. It's called african beginnings And it does have a lot of information on the beginning like african empires And I also have this book right here. I'm going to pull out for her This is called timelines from black history. So when she is writing about one of the ancient empires She can come in here and grab more information as well. So I just make sure I really Have a lot of resources because this curricula It's really based off of her doing like research writing and she always needs additional resources So I make sure I have been either pulling off books for my shelf or utilizing our local library So i'm going to go ahead and check on the kids and i'm going to bring brielle up here And we're going to go ahead and listen to her story and i'm going to let her finish off her day working independently Okay, you guys it is the end of our homeschooling day We actually did pretty good with timing. It is about 157. So almost two o'clock brie is finishing up her Independent reading in her room. She just likes to get comfortable reading her history And like I said before we'll probably start she'll probably start her outline for her Essay tomorrow since this is only tuesday. So um, I just wanted to just chit chat with you guys And I have a cool unboxing So you guys um, I recently got this in the mail iew I have been working with iew you guys now for about a year And they went ahead and they sent me a package And i'm going to share it with you guys. Um If I can open it up There we go. So This is actually This is actually their new intro to public speaking A course that they just released I believe this year and this is meant for middle schoolers and high schoolers So I am so excited you guys to give you like a flip through in my initial review of the Introduction to public speaking from iew Video, I definitely know this is going to be our next course in iew because right now as you guys know We are actually working on iew structure and style Level one b so we're in like the middle school series So i'm definitely excited to do the public speaking in brielle seventh grade year But again, like I said, I will open this baby up in another video Give you my initial thoughts and my initial review of their public speaking course So thank you iew for sending this to me. I am so excited. I have been thoroughly like Happy with all of like iew's products at this point I have done three of the fixa grammar books We're on the fourth book and I've done two levels of um iew or we will we're in our second level of the Iew writing program and I have seen tremendous growth in both of those programs with my daughter's writing and her grammar instruction And it really has taken the pressure off of me as the homeschooling mom Like writing and language arts is my weakest subject and to be able to like outsource these things Has been amazing and to find really strong and thorough curricula choices for these particular language arts pieces Has been so happy. It's just like I can just take a sigh of deep breath Because I don't have to think about this particular area for my oldest daughter Especially now that she's kind of getting up there. So um, I'm so excited in the black box. You guys it's so sleek ain't it? So um I'm excited to kind of dig into the intro to public speaking from iew But you guys like right now what I typically do is I kind of reassess my house. I know I have Uh sink full of dishes. I know I have a pile of laundry on my chair. I need to fold So right now I'm really going to do like my second reset as far as the house after our homeschooling days So now for me. This is really like a time where I'll do like some light chores and to really be honest you guys I have been making sure my younger two right now. They're playing independently. That's why you really don't hear them They're still playing with their toys But I will um lay them down for quiet time and you guys I have been taking naps in the afternoon I just want to encourage you mamas like we do so much And if you feel tired, please rest I have been resting when I feel like I need to And um, it's really been a rejuvenating me even if it's just like 15 20 30 minutes I get to just close my eyes I do that and then I you know wake up for my second half of my day Which is of course, you know like the dinner the evening rush and then you know bedtime and stuff like that So I definitely need that little burst of energy to get me through the rest of my day So, um, I hope you guys really enjoy seeing our homeschooling day Just remember that these are just snippets of my day. This is not like my day in its entirety Today ran pretty smoothly.
