First Week of School Recap | Secular Homeschool Update

I totally forgot to answer this question in the video: It took us about 5 hours each day to complete school, including lunch time.

Wow, what a great first week! I added that philosophy book to my Amazon cart, LOL. I love how you talk about your process and always seem to have something that I have not seen on any other homeschooling youtubers channels. Love your videos! Thanks for sharing.

This was a great video! You are doing a great job! You should be so proud of yourself! ❤

Thank-you so much for sharing your first week. Kudos to you on getting it all done.

Their Friday notebooks are so cute. I love how organized you are with tabbing all your books. So smart!

[ashleymurphy]

I’m so impressed with your book tab organization by weeks! I need to try that

I really enjoyed this video! I found it especially helpful as my kids are getting to the point that I will have to split them when it comes to history and science. This puts me at ease knowing it’s possible to juggle everything and still get it all done. I also appreciated your thoughts on math and why you decided to separate your kids. Grouping them together was originally a time saver for you but not the best for your kids. I think it can be hard to make that choice, especially since it tends to put more work on the parent. You should absolutely be proud of yourself!!!!

It was great to see your first week. That Cat-agories game looks fun.

Dimensions is similar to Math with Confidence so if he liked that, he will probably like Dimensions too

Thanks for the overview. I love being able to see how plans actually come together once *actual* school starts. We also use Saturdays as a school day when my husband is home during the week. I really like those binders that you showed with the flap that goes over the loose pages as well as all the divisions and folders within. Can you link those or say what they're called and where you got them? Thanks for sharing!

About how long does creative writing take? Are they/you completing all of the work you showed in one work period?

Great to hear that your first week was a success! 

I was researching 'notebooking' a while ago but didn’t find much information. Do you use a specific workbook for her? My daughter is good at math (in my opinion), but she doesn’t enjoy doing it at all! So I’m thinking about trying notebooking, too. I’d appreciate any advice or information!
