Are you feeling overwhelmed with your homeschool planning? Spending countless hours researching curriculum options and organizing lesson plans can be a daunting task. But fear not!
In this episode, Dollie Freeman, the host of Influencing Your Kids Show, has some valuable tips to help you streamline your homeschool planning process. By implementing these three essential shortcuts, you'll be able to save time, money, and energy while creating a successful homeschooling experience for your children.
Create a Wholesome Curriculum Planner:
To begin, Dollie recommends creating a Wholesome Curriculum Planner. Think about the subjects your children will cover throughout their educational journey, and jot down potential curriculum options for each subject.
By planning ahead, you can take advantage of book fairs, curriculum sales, and homeschool conferences to find the best resources for your children's needs. Having a well-organized planner will help you make intentional and cost-effective purchases.
Utilize Social Media for Curriculum Suggestions:
Take advantage of the wealth of information available on social media platforms. Engage with homeschooling communities and groups where experienced parents share their favorite curriculum recommendations. Keep your Wholesome Curriculum Planner handy while browsing, and note down any resources that catch your eye. This way, you can refer back to the suggestions later when conducting further research.
Plan Once, Reuse for Multiple Children:
By applying these three essential shortcuts, you can significantly reduce the time and effort spent on homeschool planning.
The Wholesome Curriculum Planner will help you stay organized, while social media will provide valuable insights from experienced homeschoolers.
Most importantly, planning once and reusing for multiple children will save you hours of work, giving you more time to enjoy the homeschooling journey with your kids.
Take these shortcuts to heart, and watch your homeschooling experience flourish with efficiency and success. These tips help create happier homeschools!
