So how do we build a strong homeschool foundation?

Welcome to this FREE sneak peek of 5 Days to Your Best Homeschool Years e-course: Building a Strong Homeschool Foundation.

5 Days to Your Best Homeschool Years is an online coaching course to help homeschool moms overcome the most common homeschool struggles like:

  • time management: finding “me” time, time to accomplish everything and keeping your sanity
  • choosing the right curriculum for your family
  • homeschooling on a budget
  • finding the right homeschool approach according to your kid’s learning style (we learn about that too!)
  • creating a homeschool routine that really works
  • teaching your kids to be independent learners
  • ways to outsource your homeschool
  • organizing your homeschool and so much more!

Day 1 lesson focus on building a strong homeschool foundation that will set you and your children up for homeschool success.

Here we talk about the importance of:

  • Understanding what homeschooling or home education is and what is not.
  • Knowing your reasons for homeschooling your child/children.
  • Setting goals for your homeschool and for each child individually.
  • Finding inspiration to accomplish your homeschool goals.

    My Reasons and Goals for Homeschooling are to teach my children the ways of the Lord while instilling in them a love of learning, love of reading and a strong family bond.

    We started homeschooling when the public school system said that our sons issues were behavior and lack of discipline and wanted to ignore the fact that he was testing and reading and comprehending at a 5th grade level in 2nd grade so we pulled him out. This was also something that we had been talking about for a couple of years we wanted to teach our children in a Godly Christian way and instill the ways of the Lord which is not done in schools and since God is not in schools anymore we felt it best for our family to homeschool not only can we taylor to the needs of our children in a personal one on one manner but we can do it with God as the center of our homeschool. No one can teach our children like we can. Our children can go as far as they want as long as they have God on their side and follow His plan and to know His plan is to have patience and to know His words be still and listen and He will show you His path for you. This is what I want my kids to know to love learning and to know that all things are possible with God. Philippians.

Ana has been such a huge help to me in my home school journey. Homeschooling can be extremely overwhelming and time... consuming, especially in the beginning! Ana has provided so many tools that has simplified our days and taken such a load off what I have to do as a teacher for my kids. Not just that, but she has helped me with my spiritual journey as well. Providing simply, fun and encouraging tools that help me take care of myself and stay close to God. Thank you so much, Ana, for all you do!!read more

What... drew me to her blog was to get homeschooling info and ideas, what has held me there is her evident passion and love for Christ.
