Get Your Kids Doing Some Work Independently ✅

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Do Your Kids Have Lists?

We've used several different versions of an independent work list over the years.

It's SO nice to have systems in place where your kids can self-direct their time and get going on what needs to be done without waiting on Mom (who may or may not be occupied directing the rest of the circus).

Today on the blog, I shared some different ideas for independent lists or work baskets in your homeschool.

I wrote about how I set up school-ish type things for preschool and kindergarten age kids who want to tag along or "do school" like the big kids.

AND, if you don't already have something that's working well, there are a few different list formats and templates for you to download and customize.

What do you use for independent work?!

​

Happy homeschooling,

Renee

Helloooo! I hope you're having a GREAT summer. Ours has been a whirlwind but so good. As I started to think about fall rhythms & schedules, I realized it was going to be a pretty busy season for us. So when my internet friend Ashley created a 3 month done for you menu plan, I decided to try it. 3 Months Meals DONE I've used her recipes in the past and they're very easy & delicious. I've actually never bought a menu plan online... I typically just cook the same things and meal plan out of my...
