  • I picked a boxed curriculum from Impaq for 2024 as a homeschooling mother in South Africa. I give a grade 1 curriculum unboxing and flip through in this video, to give a look at what the content looks like. I share my views as well as to why I am using a secular curriculum as a christian.
    My intent with this video is to be a resource for you if you are homeschooling or interested in knowing how to homeschool especially in South Africa.
    I would love to hear back from you so comment any questions you might have in the comment section.
    Have a blessed day!

    I really love your reasoning on choosing the secular curriculum! Would have never thought of it that way.

    This is so helpful thank you. My son is 5 and will start homeschool next year and I'm very overwhelmed with all of the options and methods and also worried I won't be good enough for him. I really appreciate the time you took for this video and the informative clear info you provide. Bless you, i will definitely be checking your other videos 🙏🏻

      @@refilwe-matshivha Thank you. I missed a webinar for foundation phase homeschoolers and wanted to ask about assessments and portfolio tasks. I have seen that some appear in the facilitator guide. I have also been told that we capture term marks on the online learner portal - there are criteria tables in the assessment files and the likes, but I always feel like there is something I am missing. I would really appreciate it if you did a series on that: formal assessments per term and capturing on the portal, as well as more on portfolio tasks. Hope I'm making sense. Thanks in advance🙂

    I’m tired of waking up after long hours of studying, I wanna try this home schooling thing
    My son doesn’t get enough sleep his only 10 I feel guilt every morning when he leaves at 5:15 am

      Give it a try a mommy, it will be well worth it. 5:15 for a young boy is a stretch.

    Loved your video, definitely will be using impaq also for my grade 1. Can you help me understand here my boy is almost 5, i was planning to do grade R for him this year and Grade 1 next year do you think impaq will allow admission to grade 1 if he will be turning 6 next year? Are they strict with the age?

    • @refilwe-matshivha
      @refilwe-matshivha  Před 5 měsíci

      If he turns 6 before June they will allow him but if it's between July-Dec then they will suggest he does grade R first. Remember with homeschooling you do have the flexibility of moving at your child's phase. If your boy is highly competent with grade r work move him to grade 1.

      Hi, I requested them to call and apply telephonically its easier and faster. after the phone call my daughter was registered and i waited a day for the quote to be able to make payment. After payment it took a day and everything was done. hope i've answered your question.

    Hi! I'm an American looking to relocate to S. Africa. We homeschool also. Can I ask ehy you chose to homeschool? Are you part of a homeschool co-op at all? I would love for my babes to be able to meet there peers there. Thank you!

      Hi, my husband and I were convicted by the Lord to homeschool our children so we could teach them our values. That is why we chose to homeschool. We were part of a co-op last year but i didn't continue with it this year because it was overwhelming for me to go every Wednesday with my toddler but I would love to go back next year cause he will be 4 and able to participate in the activities.
      There are a number of homeschool groups to join some just for sports or socialising and some include academics like Classical conversation.
      Which province will you be moving to in South Africa?
