I enjoy seeing how others make homeschooling work in their homes, especially the nitty-gritty details like curriculum, schedules, and organization. I love all the planning at this time of year and today I’m sharing our homeschool schedule. We aren’t strict about times, but this homeschool schedule keeps us on track.
I have an Excel document on my computer with a schedule that I update as needed. Life is fluid and what works today will not work for another season of our family’s life. Whenever I update our homeschool schedule, I print a copy or two off the computer and put it in strategic places (the refrigerator or lesson planner). I can reference the schedule until it becomes second nature.

With the addition of #4 in July our days are unpredictable. My prayer is that this homeschool schedule will help give a compass to our days and not be a dictator that stirs up anxiety in this mama’s heart.
What is your homeschool schedule looking like this year?
