Never let your schooling interrupt your education.

Q&A Friday: YOUR Homeschool Day in the Life

//  by 

Written by Jamie Martin, editor of Simple Homeschool and founder of Steady Mom

January was filled with posts from each of our contributors, sharing how we fit all the pieces of life together in our homeschool day. Each day reflects much of what is going on in our lives–from work we do on the side to babies waiting in the wings.

You’ve heard us ramble on and on for an entire month.

Today, it’s your turn! So here are my questions for you:

How old are your kids? How long have you been homeschooling? What does your homeschool day look like?

Last Sunday, I invited you to write a day in the life post on your own blog to link up below. If you have a link to share, please include it in your comment here.

Even if you haven’t written a separate post, you can of course still tell us about your day just by leaving a comment.

I’d love to have the chance to read how your days unfold.

Thanks so much for sharing!

    I have three boys (10, 7, and 5) and a 16 month old girl. We’ve been homeschooling from the beginning. Every day is different around here. We are neo-classical homeschoolers, but have a very ‘go with the flow’ sort of (non)routine. I posted our ‘day in the life’ for three days in a row this month:

    We’re pretty new to homeschooling with Gracie (7 yrs) in first grade and MisterMan (5 yrs) in Kindergarten. Balancing the regular needs of daily living with homeschooling with special healthcare needs has been a big challenge. This series has helped me see how every family is unique and does what they can and need to, when they can and need to and that has been very comforting and encouraging!

    We homeschool a 15 year old 9th grader and a 6 year old 2nd grader. We also have an 8 year old public school 2nd grader, who will be coming home next year. This is our 2nd year homeschooling, and began at the request of our oldest. We have slowly brought each one home after that. Homeschooling started out as a necessity and now is a way of life. I posted my Day in the Life as part of my Weekly Wrap-up here:

    We have been homeschooling since September of 2011. My oldest is 11 (5th grade) and my middle child is 7 (2nd). My youngest is 4 and attends our local preschool four times a week. Each day looks a little different, but mainly our day starts with Bible (Telling God’s Story), Math (Saxon), English (First Lang. Lessons & Rod and Staff), Spelling (Spelling Workout), and History (Story of the World). I’ve decided to change Science curriculum because it just wasn’t working. We follow the Classical Education approach, so I’m back to researching the Well Trained Mind for another Science experiment book.
