- I've been saying for a while that I wanted to share what a homeschool day may typically look like for us, so here it is! (Keep in mind that since we're Charlotte Mason homeschoolers, every day is different. But this will give you the general idea of the type of things we do!)

Hi, I'm Audriana Smith, a homeschooling mom from West Virginia. I upload videos on our homeschooling journey, homeschooling tips and tricks, running a home, mommy lifestyle, and anything we've learned that can help simplify your family life!
This was amazing! I don’t understand how you keep track of it all!! Would love
To see how you organize it
“Lots of good and fun conversations come up that may not have otherwise come out of these”
That’s the beauty of homeschool! Not only are we able to teach our own kids but we build bonds and get to really know them as individuals and have that one on one time that is so hard to do when kids are in public school. Not that it’s not doable if they are… but just so much easier with homeschooling. It’s a blessing!
Yes!
Thanks for sharing!
Awe I miss handy Manny!! That brings back so many memories of my youngest. I love your structure and was so excited to see a new video ❤️ it’s definitely encouraging and inspiring.
Thank you and your kiddos so much for sharing!! Great video!!
No problem! Thanks 😊
Bluey season 3 episode 43. Dragon. I love how Chili’s mom validates Chili’s disappointment in her drawing ability and then adds the encouragement. Validation and allowing space for those negative feelings is helpful for a child. Dr Becky from Good Inside has some good tips on this. Also as mom we can remind our kids that we were not always good at certain skills but with time and perseverance we made progress.
Thanks for sharing Ambleside homeschool videos! I plan on starting AO in the spring or fall of 2025!
I love Bluey so much. Truly so good! And thanks for this ❤️ I feel like my knee-jerk reaction most of the time is that I want to help them feel better and not let the negative feelings stay. But it’s such a good reminder that we all have to learn to deal with them.
We read the book Trying by Kobi Yamada just yesterday. It was so helpful for talking about disappointment when things don’t turn out. Thanks for sharing your DITL!
Yes! We have this one but haven’t read it for a while. Maybe it’s time to pull it back out.
Could you link the perpetual calendar you have? I’m looking for something like that.
Sure! We got ours from here: www.tinyshinyschoolhouse.com/shop
It’s a scratch off, so it’s good for one year.
Do you mind sharing the poetry book you did with your 4th grader? The Helen Hunt Jackson one. Thank you!
Absolutely! Here ya go: amzn.to/4eEREZm
@@smithpartyof6 thank you so much!
I am so impressed! How do you keep to your timetable so well? When and how do they do copywork? Also how do you set expectations and what you require of your kids? With the drawing thing, I remind them that art is a skill and just like anything else it's something that requires practice. It's a very modern thing that art is reserved for artists, it used to be a job like anything else...So I encourage them to add the word 'yet' and do their best effort. So "I can't draw this the way I want to... YET!"
Hi! So as for keeping to the timetable, I feel like I’ve kind of gotten better over time at knowing how to break down the chapters of our readings to fit them in well. It also really helps that my older two can do a good bit on their own.
Copywork is part of their independent work. So when I’m working with another child, each kid has their own short list of things they personally need to get done. Each task has a little circle for them to check off when they’ve completed it, that way it’s easy for me to check in with them and see what still needs to be done. Copywork is on their lists 2-3 times a week. Other independent work spread throughout the week is handwriting, recitation practice, typing, drawing, piano, map memorization (states for the younger kids, counties of our state for the older two), chess lessons for the older two, spelling practice for my 2nd grader, and any readings that they’re able to do on their own. For my youngest two, that’s whatever free read they’re working on. For the older two, it’s actual lessons.
As for expectations, it’s really a “throwing spaghetti at the wall” type of situation. Each child can handle different levels of independence. One thing no that I expect of all of them across the board is being courteous while others are working by keeping it quiet. Our kids also have chores that they do every morning after breakfast. It’s nothing crazy, but it helps to keep the house running smoothly and gives them responsibility. And usually one of the older two will help out by making lunch and use one of the younger kids as an assistant. At one point in the video, you can hear my daughter asking if she can be the one to make lunch on this day 😅
Also, I LOVE the yet! Definitely something to incorporate with our kids.
@smithpartyof6 thank you for responding. My oldest is seven and I have six total so between moves and babies, I've just focused on teaching her and my second oldest to read but in the house we're moving to this summer, we plan to stay there much longer and her other siblings are wanting to be involved so I'm trying to figure out how to organize all that and keep to it without getting super burnt out mentally. Thanks again for your videos, we loosely follow Ambleside too 😀
How exciting for you guys!
Burnout can definitely happen, so it’s great that you’re already thinking ahead. Above all else, enjoy the time together ❤️
Wording is so helpful. I tell my kids “I am learning how to…” because my daughter will tell people she doesn’t know how to read which is not true. She just can’t read fluently yet. She’s learning so I told her to say, “I’m learning how to read right now”
Wait! I have the McGuffeys in my bookshelf. Can you share with us how do you use the McGuffeys to teach phonics? I have seen mom delights video but I don’t understand how she introduces phonics rules 😅.
Love the video!
Blessings ❤
Honestly, with Aspen I didn’t have to do much. He learned his letter sounds a couple years ago using the Good and the Beautiful Pre-K. After that, he just sort of took off with reading. So the main thing since then has just been practicing. We started with small books that each worked on basic phonics rules and kind of grew from there. But the main thing has just been practice. When we come to a word with a phonics rule he hasn’t come across, I just tell him in the moment, and for the most part, he remembers.
Thanks for sharing!
Of course!
