Things To Do At Home With Kids While Self-Isolating + Homeschool Schedule

Are you self-isolating at home with the kids and have run out of ideas? Check out this informative list along with my homeschool schedule.

Things to Do At Home With Kids While Self-Isolating.

If you’re like our family, you’re stuck at home for 14 days (or more) and trying to get used to the new normal. I’m not a homeschooling mom by any stretch of the imagination. I love school and I love our teachers. Now I’m loving our teachers even more!

Technically it is still spring break where we live but the kids were just in Maui for two weeks so I feel fine in letting them start school at home early. We need the structure and it’s giving us an opportunity to create new habits that have taken a back seat lately (for example, they rarely practice piano every day and now they are!).

I put together this schedule for us to follow while at home.

I’ve been using many resources for educational material from my friend Krista’s post Teacher Recommended Strategies and Best Websites for Home Learning. She’s a blogger (and friend) and an elementary school teacher. I also signed up for Super Teacher Worksheets for grade appropriate lesson sheets.

Our New Homeschool Schedule.

I adapted this schedule from my friend Vanessa Kynes. Thanks Vanessa!

I’ve been supplementing the educational resources with fun things for the kids as well. We’ve been very busy with learning new cooking skills, sewing skills, and new DIY skills.

I didn’t have fabric that my daughter liked so we took clothes that no longer fit and cut it up for new fabric for doll clothes.

Kids learning to sew.

Writing to family and friends has been a wonderful daily task too. We’ve set up our homeschool at the dining room table and also having lots of fun time playing board games.

Kids being homeschooled and learning new skills.

    Thanks for the great learning activities! I am currently across our country helping my daughter after she has birthed their 5 Th child. I came to help so not too familiar with resources in North Carolina! We have been “schooling” for a week now & your new ideas are a God send! Have fun with your kids.

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
