In doing so, I think you'll find the engaged learning and connection with your kids that is at that heart of a happy homeschool.

With the Brave Writer Lifestyle, you can do that! The beauty is that every family can tailor it to their own needs and interests. Perhaps you have a co-op day so you need to do a long math block on Thursdays. If you're a family that loves science, maybe that would be listed in Core Learning. Party school, a time when we celebrate a topic we're learning about through a themed party, happens only 2-3 times a year.Īs you can see, there is a lot of flexibility with this approach. Our Documentary Day and family movie night happen quite regularly, especially during the winter months. The icing on the cake are the things we sprinkle throughout the year. Sometimes we get to all three in a week, but some months we find ourselves immersed in a science or history topic that we just don't want to pull away from. The bi-weekly section are activities, we typically enjoy every other week, while the Block schedule section lists the subjects that we aim to explore in an extended block of time throughout the month. Our work with The Wand, The Arrow, and The Writer's Jungle are part this time. The graphic lists core learning areas that we intend to work on each week, sometimes multiple times a week. I need to think ahead to include things like Poetry Tea Time or a trip to the theater. I learned long ago that for things to flow smoothly in our homeschool and for us to make the most of our precious days together, I need to be intentional with our time. But despite it's simplicity, it has become an integral part of my monthly, weekly, and sometimes daily planning. It's nothing more than a graphic that I've printed off and tucked into the front of my planner. To allow for the flexibility the Brave Writer Lifestyle offers, I created a Brave Writer Inspired homeschool planning guide. All of which I want in my home and I'm guessing you do too.

That's because it's much, much more than writing guides or a homeschool curriculum. If you don't already know, I'm a huge fan of the Brave Writer Lifestyle.
