We are now on our 2nd year of homeschooling. Things are easier now than when we first started. One of the main challenges we had was the scheduling.We didn’t know how to fit the curriculum in 1 year, more so, what to do for each subject daily. We got left behind in some subjects, but with God’s grace, we were able to catch up at the end of 4th quarter.
This year, we are doing it the easy way. Since we’re planning to finish the curriculum in 40 weeks, we just divided the lessons for each subject into 9 weeks per quarter. We left 1 week specifically for preparing for the portfolio presentation at the end of each quarter. We do weekly scheduling, instead of daily. One of the realities we had to face and struggled with last year is that life happens, and having to follow a daily schedule is very stressful. Now, I even let my son pick which subject he wants to tackle first. We do 4 subjects of 45 minutes each every weekday, with 15 minutes of break in between and a lunch break.
We are now on our 7th week of the 1st quarter, and I have to say that things are now less stressful.
So how is your homeschooling now? What was the major challenge you had or have to overcome with your homeschooling journey? Whatever stage in homeschooling journey you are in right now, just trust in God that your family will get through it all.
