How To Homeschool Electives
Elective & Enrichment Curriculum and Homeschool Plans Collaboration
What do Electives look like to a Homeschooling Mom?
Well here is my elective choices for 2019 - 2020 school year.
I break it down into three parts:
1) Co-op Style
2) Independent Electives
3) Just for Fun
We have two Co-ops that we attend. All homeschool co-ops look different. Some are just playgrounds and social events. Other parents teach and some hire professionals.
At our co-op we are taking Art and LEGO Robotics.
The other co-op has classes like Art, Comic Book writing, Book Club and more.
We also do Hebrew and learn Spanish.
Piano is mandatory in my home, but most people consider it an elective.
As a bonus I share some teaching piano tips that I use.

Day In The Life Of A Special Needs Mom
Homeschool Mom Weekly Routine
What does a week look like for a Stay at Home Mom with 4 kids, one with Special Needs?
My daughter is 2, she has Down Syndrome. I have 3 other kids and yes, we homeschool, and yes we homeschool year round. This is a view of our week long routine, specifically for my daughter. We are crazy - but we do it! Somehow!?
We visit multiple therapy sessions (2 Physical, 1 Occupational, and 2 Speech Therapy Sessions). We meet with the Intervention Specialist as well as the insurance. We also have a Cardiology Appointment. Not to mention working with her on her walking, language and feeding through the week.
Meanwhile I have 3 other kids to attend to. Yes this week was a little easier because the did have VBS, but it was only for 3 hours a day. The rest of the day was spend field tripping, doing homeschool and making sure they were taken care of.
