✨ Wondering what it would look like to have rhythms that help you run your home instead of it running you? Come join us inside the Rooted Homemakers Collective, my membership where I walk you through exactly how. → https://go.laurenmefford.com/rooted-homemakers
In this episode, I'm walking you through our curriculum choices and our whole homeschool schedule — from our morning family learning time (Bible, catechism, scripture memory, history, and science) to our more independent work block (reading, math, writing, and Latin), all the way to our lighter fifth day for catching up, deep cleaning, and field trips. I'll share the curriculum we're using at every stage, how we manage a toddler and littles while teaching older kids, and the "wait your turn" rule that's saved my sanity.
In this episode:
-Our two-phase homeschool day
-Bible reading, catechism, and our scripture memory box system
-The hymn of the month and where we find it
-History and science from a biblical worldview
-How I teach reading, phonics, spelling, and writing across different ages
-Math, piano, and Latin — and who's teaching what
-Managing a toddler and baby while working with older kids
-What our flexible fifth day looks like
