September 1, 2023 by Leave a Comment

Hey there, students and parents! September is here, and it’s that time of year when we get back to school, whether it’s in a classroom or at home. This month, let’s set some goals and aim for greatness in our homeschooling journey. Imagine unlocking your full potential and making learning a fun adventure with your children!

Tailoring Education to Your Child

One of the amazing things about homeschooling is that you can customize your learning experience. You get to choose the curriculum and schedule that works best for you and your child. This allows your child to focus on absorbing and understanding information at their own pace.

Recognizing Strengths and Working on Weaknesses in Your Children, Self,  and Homeschool

We all have things we’re great at and areas where we could improve. Homeschooling allows us to identify our strengths and weaknesses and work on both. By doing this, we can grow in every aspect of our lives, not just academically.

Developing a Love for Learning in Your Children

As homeschooling parents, we want our children to love learning. And that’s not limited to textbooks! We’re also interested in nurturing their character and values. Learning is not just about facts; it’s about becoming better individuals.

Setting Goals and Planning Activities

In this guide, you’ll find help in creating goals for the month. Plan out activities, reading time, game nights, household chores, and even charitable work with your church and community. Having a plan in place helps keep things organized.

Hands-On Learning

Learning isn’t just about reading and writing; it’s also about doing. Try immersive learning experiences, unit studies, and topical studies that cover various subjects. Let your child study topics they’re passionate about; it’ll make them unique and self-reliant adults.

Encouraging Independence in Your Children

As your child grows older, give them more say in their studies. You can help them succeed by providing support and guidance. Overcoming challenges takes time and effort, but it’s worth it in the end.

Planning for the Months Ahead

Take a moment to look at upcoming holidays and events. While plans may change, having an overview helps in scheduling. The coming months can be hectic, so let’s get organized early.

Time to Be Kids

Remember, it’s crucial to give your children downtime. They don’t need to be overscheduled. This planner helps you find that balance.

 Enjoy the Journey

Homeschooling is not just about academics. It’s about exploring the world, seeking answers, and challenging ideas through experiments and discovery. Make learning an exciting adventure!

So, as we kickstart this school year, let’s aim for greatness. Use the tools in this planner to stay organized and focused on your goals. And most importantly, enjoy your time with your family and the wonderful journey of learning. Have a fantastic September!

Blessings,
Christina Moss

Incredible Meal Planning Tips for Homeschoolers: Have Fun and Save Time with the Organize It! Planner for April

Meal Planner printable subscriber only Organize It

As a homeschooling parent, you have a lot on your plate – literally and figuratively! In addition to managing your child’s education, you also have to think about meals for the day. With busy days and multiple responsibilities, it can be challenging to plan and prepare healthy, nutritious meals that everyone will enjoy. However, with a little bit of planning and preparation, meal planning can be made easier and more manageable.

Here are some tips for meal planning while homeschooling:

1. Plan your meals ahead of time

Planning your meals ahead of time is one of the most effective strategies for meal planning. Take some time at the beginning of each week to plan out your meals for the coming days. This can help you save time and reduce stress during the week, as you’ll already know what you need to prepare for each meal.

2. Involve your children in meal planning

Involving your children in meal planning can be a fun and educational activity. Ask your children for their input on what they would like to eat, and encourage them to help plan meals for the week. This can help your children develop an appreciation for healthy foods and encourage them to try new things.

3. Keep it simple

When planning meals, it’s important to keep it simple. Choose recipes that are easy to prepare and require minimal ingredients. This can help you save time and reduce stress during the week.

4. Make a shopping list

Making a shopping list is an essential part of meal planning. Once you have planned your meals for the week, make a list of all the ingredients you will need. This can help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need when it’s time to prepare your meals.

5. Batch cook

Batch cooking is a great way to save time and ensure that you always have healthy, nutritious meals on hand. Choose a day of the week to prepare several meals in advance, and store them in the fridge or freezer for later in the week.

6. Use a slow cooker

A slow cooker can be a lifesaver for busy homeschooling parents. Simply add your ingredients in the morning, and by dinnertime, you’ll have a delicious, nutritious meal ready to serve. This can help you save time and reduce stress during the day.

7. Don’t forget about snacks

Snacks are an important part of any homeschooler’s day. Make sure to plan for healthy, nutritious snacks throughout the day to keep everyone fueled and focused.

8. Grab our newest Organize It! Printable

With doable advice from a homeschooling mom of a large family, along with her mom who loves to plan, organize, and cook, this printable is actually helpful! Download the planner today.

Some Parting Ideas for Meal Planning

Honestly, meal planning while homeschooling can be a challenge, but with these tips, it can become a manageable and even enjoyable part of your routine. Planning ahead, involving your children, keeping it simple, making a shopping list, batch cooking, using a slow cooker, and incorporating healthy snacks can help you stay organized, save time, and ensure that your family is eating nutritious meals throughout the day.
It’s also important to remember that meal planning doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes life happens, and you may need to make adjustments to your plan. Don’t stress if you miss a meal or need to make a last-minute change – just do your best and focus on providing healthy, nourishing food for your family.
Finally, don’t forget to make mealtime a family affair. Eating together as a family can be a great way to connect and bond, and it can also help reinforce healthy eating habits for your children. Make mealtime a priority, and enjoy the time together as a family.
In conclusion, meal planning while homeschooling can be a challenge, but with a little bit of planning and preparation, it can become a manageable and even enjoyable part of your routine. By involving your children, keeping it simple, using a slow cooker, batch cooking, and making healthy snacks a priority, you can ensure that your family is eating nutritious meals throughout the day. Don’t forget to make mealtime a family affair, and enjoy the time together as a family.

Why an Organized Homeschool is a Fun School

An organized homeschool is a great way to get the most out of homeschooling and ensure that learning is fun and engaging. With an organized homeschool, everything is tidy and orderly, so you can easily locate the necessary materials and supplies and avoid any unnecessary distractions.

Since homeschooling is a large task that often requires the effort and cooperation of several people, an organized homeschool allows for efficient time management and delegation of responsibilities. Furthermore, by having a set schedule and a predictable structure, your child can learn in a comfortable and supportive environment. As a result, an organized homeschool can be a great way to make learning more enjoyable and productive for everyone involved.

Tips to Get Organized in Your Homeschool

Organization is key in your homeschool journey, so here are a few tips to make sure you’re staying on top of your homeschooling tasks:

  • Firstly, create a calendar of specific tasks that need to be completed. Not only will this help you break down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks, but it can also help you visualize the timeline for reaching each milestone.
  • Secondly, use task management systems to assign tasks and track their progress. This can be great for keeping track of both curriculum tasks and family obligations.
  • Thirdly, use technology to your advantage. Utilize programs like Airtable, Evernote, and Trello to store and manage all of the necessary information for your homeschooling journey. By following these steps, you’ll be able to stay organized, motivated, and on track.
  • Lastly, download our March Checklist Freebie | Let’s Organize It!

Free July Ultimate Checklists Planner

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
July 1, 2022 by Leave a Comment

July is such a busy and fun month full of Patriotic events, celebrations and just enjoying the hot summer months with friends and family. Let’s look at all the July fun activities and how to keep track of everything for your family.

What is there to do in July with your family?

The most patriotic American holiday is on July 4th ~ Independence Day. Many families will choose to have 4th of July picnics, take part in parades, and attend firework shows or concerts. You can have some great conversations with your family regarding our country and its history. You can discuss the constitution, what it means to be patriotic and gather together to pray for our country.

July is also one of the hottest months in the year for many areas. Even though it is hot, it seems to be a favorite month for picnics, backyard barbecues and get togethers. While you are spending a lot of time outdoors in the sun make sure that you keep cool.

Fun ideas for staying cool in July:

  • Visit a natural body of water in your area, like a lake, a beach, a spring, or a river. If you don’t have one near you consider making a long day trip or a short mini vacation.
  • Set up a sprinkler and let the kids run around and play in it.
  • Have a water party with water balloons, baby pools full of soapy bubbles, tarps with dish soap for a cheap slip and slide.
  • Make homemade popsicles or homemade ice cream. Homemade ice cream is a fun thing to do with your kids that will create some wonderful memories. (Hint: there is a free homemade ice cream recipe in this month’s Ultimate Checklist!)

How to keep track of all the summer fun events:

Our Ultimate Checklists is like a big family planner. It has so many amazing checklists, papers, worksheets, and brainstorming sheets to help you keep track of everything you need during the busy summer.

What is included in the July Ultimate Checklist?

Teaching Your Kids How to Have Faith – Free Character Planner

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
December 1, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ~ Hebrews 11:1. This is one of my favorite Bible verses, but how do we explain and teach faith to our children and help them to grasp the concept?

free character planner

Just as Hebrews says, faith is the substance of something that is hoped for. Faith and hope go hand in hand. Faith gives us the ability to worry less and to hope and know with our hearts that God will come through for us. It may not be as we thought, but it will happen somehow.

How to encourage faith

Faith can be difficult for some children to grasp. Others are private with their beliefs and may not talk about their faith often. We can teach our children about faith by talking openly about our faith in our homes. What is it that you hope for? Is it something that you can not do on your own? Talk about this with your family.

Faith is believing that something will happen that we can’t even see or begin to understand. It could be one of those prayer requests that may sit on your prayer list for a while. Yet when it does happen, a good job for a family member, a gift of money when things are tight, a cure to an illness that seems hopeless, a good grade in a hard math class, those things help to strengthen our faith and the faith of our children.

Another way to teach our children about the character trait of faith is with this month’s character planner. These are free for subscribers each month and they teach you how to plan a month long study on the specific character trait.

Free Faith Character Study Planner Printable Pack

This Character Counts planner will show you how to plan out a month long study on the character trait of Faith. These planners are organized for you and are always open and go. It is also customizable, which means you can pick and choose what you would like to print out and use for your family. They are not dated so you can use them anytime in the year.

We store ours in a character training binder. These are great if you have a certain issue that needs to be focused on in your family. Then you can pull them out and work on that trait as needed. Many families enjoying using these in a daily morning time in their homeschool or as a family Bible Study.

Our planners have been designed to be simple and fun, with activities for your entire family to participate in together.

Check out what’s inside:

  • Character Quality Family Checklist Worksheet
  • 4 Week Study on  Faith vs. Unfaithfulness
  • Analyze and Evaluation Sheets
  • Character Trait Planning Worksheets
  • Faith Printable Posters
  • Faith and Your Gifts

Teaching Benevolence with a Free Character Planner

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
November 2, 2021 by Leave a Comment

The holiday seasons are right around the corner. With the holidays comes lots of opportunities to teach our children to show love, kindness and generosity. Teaching our kids that it is better to give than to receive is a great way to teach them about being benevolent.

character counts benevlonce character planner

What is Benevolence?

Benevolence is the desire to do good for others, to be kind, charitable and generous. It is the ability to see that someone is in need and to fill that need for them. Benevolence is the opposite of selfish. You are giving of your time, money and resources to help someone else, wanting nothing in return.

Examples to teach benevolence to your kids:

  • Treat others the way you wish to be treated. Teaching the golden rule is a great way to get your kids thinking about their actions, especially being kind and giving.
  • Lead by example. Let your kids see you as parents giving freely and helping others in need.
  • Look for opportunities to serve and give in your community or through your church.
  • Operation Christmas Child is a great way to get your young children involved in picking out gifts, and much needed items to children in different parts of the country.
  • Serve in a soup kitchen or a community outreach event, food drive or gift drive during the holidays.
  • Adopt a family for the holidays. Do you know someone who could use some extra help during the holidays? Offer to feed them, or purchase gifts or groceries to surprise them with and droip them off on their doorstep with your kids.

Another great way to teach a character trait like benevolence is through our monthly Character Counts planners. These are free for subscribers each month and they teach you how to plan a month long study on the specific character trait.

Free Benevolence Character Study Planner Printable Pack:

There are many options of printable sheets to choose from to use with your family. They are not dated like our other planners, so they can be used anytime in the year. Many families  love that our planners are open and go. The planners are simple and fun, with activities that are good for all ages in your family, including parents

We like to print ours out and store them in a character training binder. I create tabs for each character trait so we can pull them out as we need to focus on something specific. Character training is a great addition to a family morning or Bible time in your homeschool. You can even use them for a fun family night with the activity ideas and brainstorming sheets to work on together.

This is what is included:

  • Benevolence Family Checklist Worksheet
  • 4 Week Study on Benevolence vs. Selfishness
  • Analyze and Evaluation Sheets
  • Character Trait Planning Worksheets
  • Benevolence Printable Posters and Scripture Posters
  • Family Character Brainstorming Session Sheets
  • Benevolence and Your Gifts
  • Study Worksheets for Kids

Teaching Compassion with a Free Character Planner

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
October 2, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Compassion is such an important character trait because it is something we all need in our lives. It is the emotional connection desired with those close to us and those we do not know very well. Teaching compassion to your kids is important as it doesn’t always come naturally.

 

Some children may naturally be loving and compassionate, while others may need some help in that area. This is especially true of toddlers who may think the whole world revolves around them! . Becoming compassionate brings us out of our me-focused world. It can help your children see that other people have needs and start to think about how they can meet those needs for others.

What is Compassion?

Compassion is is the ability to feel what another person is going through and to help them in their need. It is being able to listen, being aware and being sensitive of the needs of others. It is being able to sit back and observe and know when to help out when there is a need.

Compassion is caring for others, behaving towards them with concern and love and affection. It is being sympathetic to others needs, putting others before yourselves.

Teaching Compassion

Some people feel compassion more deeply and empathetically than others. You may notice this with your children if they see an animal that is hurt or lost, or a homeless person on the side of the road. Some children are immediately distressed and sad, while other children may not even recognize what is happening. We can teach and model compassion to our children to help them to be sensitive to the needs around them.

Here are some great ways to teach compassion to your kids:

  • Be kind, and model kindness to your children. Talk about kindness and reactions to others in your home.
  • Take your children out and serve together. Helping at a soup kitchen or a food pantry is a great way to show them that people are hungry and in need.
  • Teach compassion towards animals by helping animals that may be injured or lost or feeding animals that may be hungry.

Teach compassion to your children with this month’s free character study printable pack:

Our Character Counts planner teaches you how to plan a month long study on this month’s character trait of compassion. Families  love that our planners are open and go with many things to choose from to use. You can pick and choose what you would like to print and use for your family. Since they are not dated like our other planners, these can be used anytime in the year.

I keep all of our planners in a big binder. We now have a nice large collection of them as we download them each month. They are great to pull out if there is a specific character trait that you need to work on in your home.

Many families enjoy using these during morning time, or Bible time in their homeschool. These planners are designed to be simple and fun, with activities that your whole family can participate in together. This is great for family time with hands-on ideas and fun conversation starters. Yes, even parents can benefit too! 

This is what is included:

  • Character Quality Family Checklist Worksheet
  • 4 Week Study on Character
  • Analyze and Evaluation Sheets
  • Character Trait Planning Worksheets

  • Family Character Brainstorming Session Sheets

Teaching Family Loyalty (FREE Character Planner)

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
August 3, 2021 by 1 Comment

Do you long for a family that prays, works, plays together and stays together? Family loyalty is easy to achieve when your children are younger, but what about when they grow up?

What happens when your sweet children who always want to be with you become teenagers? How do you encourage them to stay close and connected to your family? There are so many things going on that pull everyone in different directions. Family time can easily go to the wayside and be missed so quickly.

Family loyalty is one of those essential traits that begins and straightens as a child ages. When your kids begin to be social outside of the home, in church, sports and work friends start to become a priority in their lives. Having friends typically takes a stronger presence and need over the family as your children enter the teen years.

What can you do to teach them to stay committed and faithful to your family?

Loyalty is faithfulness to family and to the commitments, duties, and obligations in our lives. We can teach this character trait by modeling it on our own families. So many important character traits begin right inside your home.

Here are some ways to do this:

  • Create some family traditions that your children will get used to doing and look forward to on a regular basis. Do you take the same type of family vacation each year, or attend a certain sporting or local event? This will be something your kids will get used to doing and look forward to continuing as they are older.
  • Stick to a set family dinner or family game or movie night at least once a week on a set day. Pick one day a week where everyone can commit to work their schedules around needing to be home for that specific set day.
  • Encourage your children to support and encourage each of their siblings. This can be done during weekly get togethers. Help them to build strong relationships with each other so they always have a built in friend to turn to.

Teach your family about loyalty with this month’s free character study printable pack:

Our Character Counts planner teach you how to plan a month long study on the character trait of Loyalty. Our open and go planners are customizable. You can pick and choose what you would like to use for your family. You can use them anytime in the year since they are undated. We like to print ours and keep them in a tabbed binder. We have a nice large collection of them as we download them each month. These are great to pull out if there is a specific character trait that you need to work on in your home.

Many families use these for a morning Bible time in their homeschool. These planners are designed to be simple and fun, with activities for your entire family to participate in together. This is great for family time and has there are fun conversation starters. Yes, even parents can benefit too!

FREE Character Counts: Enthusiasm Planner

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
May 4, 2021 by Leave a Comment

When you think of the different character traits, enthusiasm doesn’t seem like one that you would normally need to work on with your children. Imagine if your children had a positive, happy, and joyful attitude for even simple every day tasks and school work. Do you know how that would change the entire feeling in your home? It would be an inviting place, and people would see a difference in your family and your life style.

Do your children need help being joyful and enthusiastic? This character planner will give you some great tips and printables to guides your children.

This month’s subscriber freebie is on the character trait of Enthusiasm.

When a child shows a lack of enthusiasm and grumbles and complains over tasks they are actually showing disrespect. This needs to be handled quickly or it can turn into more complaining and attitude problems that will be passed down to the rest of the family. It isn’t always easy, and doesn’t come naturally to some children but it can be taught through example.

This planner will give you the tools you need to teach your children to be enthusiastic and have a positive happy attitude. There are reflection sheets for you as the parent to journal about your children and to note their strengths and weaknesses. It well help you see how you can help them and encourage them in specific areas that they struggle with.

One great way to do this is by practicing in your own home. You can discuss how to encourage other family members and to try to be joyful. There are many examples, suggestions, worksheets and activities to help your children to think through their attitudes. It will give them ideas to be an encourager, and to be happy in all things. I really appreciate that there are scriptures to back up what is being taught, that we can show our children when they are struggling.

What is in this month’s planner?

The Character Counts planner helps you to easily plan out a 4-week study on the character trait of Enthusiasm.  Like always, the planning is done for you, which makes it completely open and go. It is also customizable, meaning you can pick and choose what you would like to use. The planners are not dated so that you can use them at any time. We like to print ours out and store them in a character training binder. You can easily access them and pull them out when you are dealing with a certain issue that needs to be focused on in your family. They are also a great addition to a morning Bible time. These are designed to be simple and fun, with activities for your entire family to participate in together.

FREE Character Counts: Boldness Character Study Planner

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.
April 13, 2021 by Leave a Comment

What is boldness? It is power over fear. It is being brave and bold enough to stand up for what is right and just. As homeschoolers and as Christians, we are already different in this world. It is important now more than ever to teach our children to take a stand that is counter culture. That isn’t an easy task, and can be quite scary if you have a child that is shy, and not normally bold. This is why I am excited to share with you about this month’s character study.

 

This month’s subscriber freebie is on the character trait of Boldness.

Being bold can come very easily to some children, and not so easily to others. It is important to teach our children to be bold, yet still be respectful. To be bold without being over the top, and to be bold when you are nervous and shy. To learn to decipher when you need to stand up for something that is important. Some children have no problem being bold. Others would rather be invisible then jump up and make a statement or make themselves known in a tough situation. This is where teaching bravery comes in as well.

It is quite the balance to teach this to different personality types. In this planner there are helpful tips, suggestions and encouragement to teach your children how to practice being bold. I love how Felice breaks down the character trait in easy to understand terms. She always follows it with examples and explanations and gives you practical suggestions and applies them to the entire family. You will love all the extra pages and goal sheets and there are even motivational posters with scriptures to hang in your home.

Why you will love our Character Counts Planners:

You are going to love our Character Counts planners because all of the work of planning out a character study is done for you! They will help you to plan out a 4-week study on the specific character trait for that month. This month you will teach on the character trait of Boldness. You will love how open and go our planners are. All you need to do is open them up and follow the instructions and print the pages out for your children.

They are also customizable so you can pick and choose what you would like to print out from the planner. There are lots of pages to choose from. Maybe you have a child that doesn’t like to write, but enjoys looking at posters. You could print out the motivational posters and Bible verses on self-control. Other children may enjoy deep thoughts, and journaling through what they are working on.

Our planners are not dated and can be used  anytime of the year.  Many families like to create a character training binder to keep them in. Do you enjoy morning time in your homeschool?  Character training is a great addition to a family morning or Bible time. The activity suggestions are geared for all ages in your family, including the parents.
