We’ve spent the past nine months ebbing and flowing between six weeks of home-schooling and one week of rest<\/strong>. This on\/off rhythm works for us, and is a practice I’m likely to continue, possibly shifting to a ‘five week on, one week off’ flow to avoid us burning out on that last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This happy rhythm was largely made possible due to a heap of planning and prep I did last summer.<\/strong> Having burned out from too many late nights trying to figure out what and how to teach during my first year of homeschooling, I decided to invest in my sanity for our second year by working through Pam Barnhill’s course “Plan Your Year<\/a>“. It was an utter game changer!<\/strong> I highly recommend it to any home-schooling mums out there looking to ease the planning load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing this, we’ve only five weeks to go before we wrap up the school year and shift gears into a more relaxed summer schedule. In a fit of nostalgia (where has the year gone?!) I thought it might be fun to share what is in our Morning Basket<\/a> (i.e. the bunch of books I read aloud to the girls from every morning) this term. <\/strong> I always find it hugely helpful to peek into other home schooling mama’s plans as it sparks ideas of my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
