During my hardest year of homeschooling, I had a 12, 10, 8, and 1 year old, and twin newborns. Life was⦠a little chaotic.
One week, a friend of mine who had homeschooled all three of her kids asked, âSo how’s homeschooling going?â
And naturally, I burst into tears. Iâm not sure she saw that coming. But then, maybe she did.Â
Anyway, she asked me how I was keeping the kids on track for their schoolwork and how much they could do when I wasnât able to lead them, and when I looked at her with a blank stare, she said, âOkay, Iâm going to come over tomorrow and Iâll bring some spiral notebooks.â
So, I cleared a path to the door and she came and she showed me how a 25 cent notebook could completely change our homeschool for the better.
Today, we’re going to talk about those spiral notebooks– the one simple tool that has had the biggest impact on my homeschooling life.
In this episode, youâll hear:Â
- How the spiral notebook system combats overwhelm when youâre being pulled in too many directions
- How I used the spiral notebooks in our homeschool
- The modified system that we use in our homeschool now
