Thanks for sharing this! I just purchased morning manna and am very excited! I would love to see a flip through of your binder that you keep for records and logs. If you have one. This will be our first year homeschooling. It was a very sudden decision but I have felt like god has put it on my heart to do so for a while now. But it’s definitely overwhelming getting everything prepared in such a short time frame. But I am so grateful for all the homeschool mother’s on KZread. All have been so helpful.
This is a very helpful resource. Thanks a bunch!
Glad it was helpful!
I think this is a good idea! My son has a hard time transitioning from play to school so if I give him this in the morning maybe it’ll help. I made a Dino themed one and we’ll try it for two weeks and see how it goes!
This was very helpful, thanks for sharing! How do you do quiet time with your older kids?
They just have to stay in their room and be quiet. Sometimes they’re reading. Sometimes they’re playing with legos or toys
Hi Anna!I had bought the 5 girls calendar yesterday and have been trying to print it out and it says website is not available 🫤😔Has anyone else had that issue?
Maybe contact them. I haven’t had that issue. I’m sorry
We start around 830 with school. We also do world watch at 8ish!
Awesome!
I know you mentioned that your oldest will be taking Spanish in your co-op. Do you know of a good Spanish curriculum? Or maybe a KZread channel where they can watch videos to learn? I bought a Spanish curriculum book last year to try and teach them the basics…but I am super lost so just curious if you have any recommendations for this.
Thank you for sharing this! Best schedule I’ve come across. First video I’ve seen of yours. What do you do with your schedule if you do outings during the week days like errands or field trips?
So I have one of those children that loves to sleep in. It is not unusual for my kindergartner to sleep until 11am if I don't get her up. Her bedtime is 7. But she has always tried to stay up and play even though all we have on is a night light. If I do try and wake her at earlier times I sometimes get a very groggy, grumpy child that is problematic when we try to do homeschool. You said you had one child that sleeps in, what works for you in getting that child up earlier to start their day? Just curious. Oh and could you share the KZread channel you do for ballet, that sounds like a wonderful idea. Thank you.
For unit studies I made a list of unit studies I found and my 4th and 6th grader take turns picking a unit for us to do as a family! I always try go for units that take 2-4weeks to complete but sometimes if the unit is longer I may count it as 2 turns for that child!!! By doing it like this my children are way more interested, pay more attention and they get to learn a lot about their interests!!!
That’s an awesome idea! I love it!
Can u plz plz plz do a video on how u get stuff on the tv like Form? I know so many homeschool mommas put things like Form, Classes, Schedules, n etc on their tv but how do I need a special laptop, device, tv what do I need and how do I do it? Plz help
I just cast it from my laptop, phone or iPad
What age would you start World watch news? I have one that scares easily.
I have never seen anything scary on it. My 3 and 5 yr olds watch it but don’t pay much attention. I would say I think maybe 6 or 7 and up would be interested in it though. It all depends on your child though. You know them best
I love this! Thank you for all this info and example! I especially Love The Sibling time idea. We start at 9am
You are so welcome!
Love this! I schedule out our days too and it makes all the difference in the world to be intentional with our time. I am also not a slave to the schedule, but it is definitely my guide! We start at 9am.
Yes intentionality is key!
I loved this homeschool schedule for you, thank you for sharing it. It gives me ideas! I'll never get tired of you sharing schedule and routine videos ❤ I'm just starting to build my homeschool schedule for my 9 year old son, but I'm hoping to start school at 9:00 AM the latest. Also just had to say you look gorgeous! 💖💖💖💖 I love your outfit and earrings it looks very Mexican (I'm Mexican haha ☺️)
So glad it gave you some ideas!
And thank you!
Thank you for sharing your schedule! We start around 8:30 as well. I’m trying to get more organized this year, and your video was helpful!
I’m so glad it was helpful!
Thank you again for sharing this great schedule!!! I am definitely going to try this as I love the idea and concept! This will be my 4th year homeschooling and I have always been pulled in different directions (normally I feel like I'm always doing circles 😂). I love how you incorporate your older kids to entertain the little one and to do what he wants to do as it's not about the older kiddos during that time. Brilliant!!! 👏 I need more organization and a plan (as I always wing it and it doesn't work 😢 and have been trying to figure out a way to make it enjoyable for all of us). I think I found it thanks to you ❤. I am so excited to create our schedule and to use your guide as a template! My boys are 8, 6 and 18 months. I think I just found the best schedule ever!!! Thank you 🤗🥳. I haven't seen anything like this on M2H but maybe I missed it 🤷.
Haha I’ve def had years where I’m just winging it and it def makes things a little more stressful. So glad this was helpful!
I have a whole video on M2H on homeschool schedules as well as a printable that goes with it. It’s a little different than what I’m currently using though
@@AnnaBruceblog I must have missed it or wasn't ready to tackle it at that time 🤷. Thank you for letting me know as I will have to check it out but without seeing it I am still sold on this one 🤗!!
Love this. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
@Anna Bruce I heard you can get bad backache longterm when you take an epidural. Did you experience that?
I do not
Hi! First time watching. Any suggestions for spelling? My son is a great reader but needs help in spelling.
All about spelling is so great! www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id=2395
Thank you so much for sharing your vacation with us! I am so excited to put the plantation you visited on my travel bucket list!

We JUST got back from visiting Charleston last week! We loved Page’s Okra Grill! I had the fried chicken-yum! And of course we had dessert. Peanut butter pie for the win!
We did not get to experience dessert! That sounds amazing though!
I would love to see your master checklist of beginning, middle, and end of year checklist from your Planning section in your teacher binder!
Great idea! Maybe I will share that soon!
Same!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for taking us along! This was great and so much fun! Almost, like I was on vacation with you guys ❤.
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow for fun! I love historical places!!
Us too!
Love seeing your time in Charleston! We’re living in southeast Georgia for the next couple years for my husbands work, so we’ll definitely plan a trip to Charleston at some point to check it out!
You will love it!
Another great video! My absolute must have homeschool supplies for the year are notebooks & pocket folders!
Definitely!!
Just started seeing your content, and I'm enjoying your videos very much. Your planning video gave me some ideas, and I enjoy a back to school haul video. Your skirt is so cute, and looks comfortable and effortless. Where did you get it?
Thanks! So glad to have you here! My skirt is from shein
I am the same way!! I just found her and I am loving all the videos!
We don't have "genders", only sex, either male or female.
Yep
you are so right about art supplies from Ross I bought a pack of 50 canvas for artwork and we are still using them 2 years later.
Wow!
What are the clear cases you checked? Where did you get them?

Thank you so much for sharing these resources! I am in the same boat where I often buy repeats of books when I’m out and about! I’m so looking forward to using the app!
You are so welcome! I hope it works for you!
Can’t wait for the video!!! I honestly didn’t place my amazon order yet as i want to take inspiration from your video in case i need to order something more 😂
Yay! Thank you!
Hi! I’m new to your channel and to homeschooling! I’d love to know more about the sibling time and get some ideas for my daughters 😊

Thank you!
Sounds like a great year!
Thanks so much!
Good job gorgeous 🥰 you are a great motivator❤
Thanks!
Since you mentioned thriftbooks, I've used them for years. And I just found out you can sign up as a teacher, there's a homeschool option, and get a book free everytime you buy 4 books.
I’ve heard that! I need to do that!
I didn’t have a system yet for all our books. I like your system for organizing your books. Thank you so much.
Thanks!
