Cherish the Chaos

Hey Mama,

Is it me, or is summer JUST flying by? Where did it go? Seems like yesterday was Easter, and now here we are in August, beginning to think about the new school year yet again. It’s a crazy whir right now, this life. But the day is coming—it is—when we are old. Really old. As in (if we are blessed with long life) great grandkids. With that may come some loneliness, some longing for the “good old days” when we were in our 30s and 40s and felt like we were more in control of our lives, more able to take the bull by the horns and make things happen—to call the shots, to make the lists and do the tasks (even if life was wildly crazy or had serious challenges).

So if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed with curriculum shopping and back-to-school planning and getting your homeschool classroom organized, take a deep breath and remember that you will one day cherish these wild, wacky, busy days. And if you need a little guidance, these articles from The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine might help:

Back to School: Ten Homeschooling Concerns by Deborah Wuehler
Craft a Peaceful Year with Time Maps and Routines by Janice Campbell
Getting It All Together by Jennifer Story

Don’t worry so much about every little detail. You are doing it right. You are definitely putting in the time so that these kids grow into responsible, loving, caring (and maybe even frazzled like us) adults. And that is actually a good thing because—guess what, Mama—it happens to be real, as is, realistic. Nothing fake about it.

So stay true. Authentic. Down to earth. Real. The full deal. Nothing phony, no airs. Why make your children stumble later? Give it to them straight. That’s you, Mama. Straight shooter, no-nonsense.

Keep walking. Focus on your blessings. Read the Bible and pray unceasingly for your kids. Model Christ always. Be thankful for the memories you’ve made this summer. You may feel a bit harried now that it’s soon reaching its end, but you’ve got this, Mama. And look at those monkeys of yours. They eat well; they laugh hard; they pick themselves up and start again; they know they’re loved because you have made sure they know that very well. They are yours. Walk confidently. Well done; the Lord’s hand is on your head.

Reminders for Routine and Rhythm

Preparation is key to start off right in any task you set out to do. Getting back to that routine of whatever your family does for learning time takes some easing into. Start booking in time now for simple educational activities to mimic your school day schedule. Fill it with things like reading and worksheets for reviewing last year’s subjects. Try to work on establishing a routine every day so that the official back-to-school schedule will be easy to do when September comes.

Planning and Organizing Tips

As the parent, you have some prep work that you’ll want to ease into as well.

  • Gather your curriculum and plan out your year. Make schedules for yourself and get the older kids to make their own schedules as part of their education time. Planning and organizational skills are important ones to learn! 
  • Download a custom schedule builder for one week or nine weeks.
  • If you’ve got the time, get activities, crafts, and games that go with your curriculum prepped and ready, so when you get to them you’re not scrambling to cut things out and get things going.
  • Throw out anything old that you know you will not be using in the coming year. Unless you’ve decided to keep books for the next sibling, consider donating or re-selling your old books to make room for the current ones.
  • Clean your workspace. It will make the atmosphere more inviting when everyone has a clean workspace to start off with.
  • Get your kids involved with organizing the workspace. Maybe last year they were okay with working on the couch, but this year they might prefer working at the table. 
  • Get stocked up on school supplies – because everyone knows pencils magically disappear every year! Make sure you have lots of paper, notebooks, pencils/pens, and craft supplies. With your pre-planned schedule, you should be able to make a shopping list quite easily.

Lastly, but most importantly, pray together as a family for a good learning year. Ask God to open the minds and hearts of everyone to receive wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

Keep Your Sanity—And Your Hair

The homeschool year can be hectic and unpredictable, can’t it?

There are swim lessons, co-op days, or soccer games to get to; kids get sick; and each day requires some actual homeschooling. When we don’t plan ahead, we often deal with the urgent rather than the important. Things like spending time with our kids in God’s Word can easily get dropped if we don’t have a good routine and plan in place.

As a veteran homeschool mom—we just graduated our youngest—I’ve found that dedicating two weeks each summer to organizing for the year ahead keeps me from pulling out my hair during the school year.

Planning your homeschool year ahead of time will:

  • Help you identify your goals.
  • Be certain you plan for the most important subjects—like Bible.
  • Prevent your objectives from getting lost in the day-to-day chaos of life.
  • Reassure you that each day’s work is moving you in the right direction.
  • Help you feel in control of your homeschool.
  • Allow you to take breaks without guilt.
  • Let you make quick decisions with an eye for your overall plan.
  • Provide options for days things just aren’t going to go according to plan.

My homeschool organization always involved deciding on learning objectives for each child, then choosing classes and curricula. I would schedule out each week (we did a thirty-six-week year) with the assignments, reading, and objectives for the week. Then, I would make sure we had the books and resources available for the first semester.

Because most of our classes were literature-based, I put everything on one bookshelf, by week. That made it easy for our kids to locate their books and notebooks.

Each Monday morning, I went over my plan, talked to the kids, and scheduled out our days with the weekly assignments in mind.

You can organize your new school year ahead of time. With just a little bit of dedicated time this summer, you’ll find yourself breathing easy this coming school year. You can keep your sanity and your hair. At least, until it’s time to dissect that frog on your kitchen counter.

Pillar of Faith
Jodi Riddle
– Do You Have a Plan?

Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 14:40 to “Let all things be done decently and in order.” The context was pertaining to a worship service; however, it is a good principal to follow in our school year as well. I believe that as you head into a new school year, it is in everyone’s best interest to at least have a plan.

Things like knowing the subjects you will be covering, materials you may need, and any curriculums/books that will be used are in everyone’s best interest. It’s also a good idea to have some kind of planner to organize your thoughts and track ideas and progress. This helps you feel confident in what you will be teaching, but also can give the student some assurance to know that there is a plan. (Kids DO like stability whether they act like it or not.)

However, with all of that being said, if you are a major organizer, you will also need to allow room for flexibility. Plans can be altered, curriculums/books can change and subjects that prove to be a wrong fit, can be replaced with others.

The bottom line is have faith that God will lead and direct no matter how organized you are. If your heart is to teach your children, God will equip you along the way with whatever you need.

His Vessel Algebra I Textbook

His Vessel Textbooks
http://www.hisvesseltextbooks.com/

At first sight, the His Vessel Algebra I textbook is like any other math book, except that it quotes 1 Corinthians 3:16 (“You are God’s holy vessel”) and says “biblically-based math” on the cover. But when you dive into the content, you will find Bible truths sprinkled throughout the book. 

In Mrs. Carroll’s definitions of mathematical terms, she uses faith-centered mnemonics and encouragements all over the place. For example, when talking about Absolute Value in chapter 1, students are first told the definition of an absolute value number (distance from zero; no negatives). Then she says: “Isn’t it wonderful that God loves you so much that He sees your Absolute Value through Jesus Christ? You have Absolute Value.”

His Vessel Algebra I covers all the main topics you would expect from an algebra curriculum: expressions to equations, graphing to statistics, exponents to the quadratic equation, etc. The lessons are included in the book so your student can read and study the information to learn it. If a topic is challenging for your child to understand, they can also go to the His Vessel YouTube channel for video lessons. 

This fully formed high school algebra curriculum is a giant book, hardcover with over 550 pages. It will get your student the Algebra I credit they need for graduation but with a strong faith-based backbone that you will not find in any other math book anywhere.


This is part of a review of His Vessel Algebra I Textbook from His Vessel Textbooks. Read the full review on our site which has more details and pictures.
