Get Your Kids Doing Some Work Independently ✅


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

Just the other day, I was recalling the text of one of the songs I'd just written and realized I already knew it by heart. Music is so powerful for memorization. There are many more Bible memory songs in the app, which you can sign up for here! Your first month is...
