Hey y'all! My name is Rachael and I am a homeschooling mom of 4 wonderfully curious kids!
If you are new to homeschooling in CO, then this where you need to be next Sunday!
Yep that's me lol!
Get ready to dive into the world of homeschooling, where we'll share tips, tricks, and resources to help you navigate this journey!
This picture came up on my memories....I can't believe that this year will be my 9th year homeschooling (if you count preschool lol). Playdough, Do a dots and these Lakeshore Learning trays are still a staple in our room!!!
WELL THAT FAILED! I've offically figured out the best way to shelve books!
I complained about needing more shelf space so I had recommendations to stack horizontally (AHHHHHHH CAN'T DO THAT, THAT'S SACRILEGIOUS! The pressure on the books would add to my daily stress lol)
Someone suggested to then stack them forwards....huh...ok!
So I gave it a try! IT DIDN'T WORK! I was left with so many more books that didn't fit the shelf. So there is your answer! The best way to shelve books...vertical and spines out!
RUN to Target! This was on clearance! I grabbed another one. When we did our human body unit study we used this daily!
REAL LIFE!
I wanna see your homeschool room pics for INSPO!
Just wanted to post so you NEVER get the idea that I have it ALL TOGETHER!
It's suppose to look worse before it gets better right??!!
How did so much end up on the table? Ugh!
Books on the floor...where do they go?
I ALWAYS HATED RULES! Now I know why, there are ALWAYS exceptions!
I before E except after C my you know what!!!
Feeders have been out for just a few days now and already seeing action!
🐦🦜🕊🦅🦚🦆🦢🦉All ready for our Birds Unit Study starting next week!
Hahahaha
Do your kids know how to build a computer?!
Tech is the future and there are just some basic skills kids of the future will need to know!
My 3 kiddos built 2 new computers at ages 10, 7 and 5!
This is what our school time looks like right now! Yes sometimes we school on the weekend!
Back at making videos feels good. This was a collaboration with other homeschooling youtubers taking about our homeschooling styles. Mine is eclectic! Find out what that means!

WONDERFUL COOP GAME!
My youngest (5yr old) even played with us without much help.
Flashpoint was 1 of many new games from Christmas!
We of course thought a lot and prayed for all those suffering due to the Marshall Fire. It is so real how something like downed power lines caused such destruction. We are definitely forming a "go bag" and planning a fire plan for the new house asap!
Here is my article on fire safety for a house fire. Stay safe y'all!

So excited! My bookcases and shelf units are up!! It only took ALL Day lol!
Now I get to unbox book boxes!
Empty canvas for our NEW HOMESCHOOL ROOM!
REAL LIFE SCHOOLING right now! Making the kids part of the moving process since I don't have time to do lessons.
A quick post it note activity to teach greater than/less than!
How was your week?!! Show me what you did!
Some highlights from our 1st week of school!! Yes we got started late and yes we have moving boxes everywhere. Sometimes you have to embrace the chaos!
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING! 4 CIVILIANS going into space in T-13mins!
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, September 15 at 8:02 p.m. EDT (Thursday, September 16 at 00:02 UTC) for launch of the Inspiration4 mission – the world’s first...
Not unpacked yet but little man is still doing school....sorting his animals, even putting aquatic animals in the bath (THANK GOODNESS NO WATER)! Who says you have to be ready to start your school year...hahahaha...yep not lying..freaking out slightly over not being prepared and planned out for the year yet.
Do you homeschool in the summer?? Well we are this year! Usually we don't, but we didn't do any school time in the month of March or most of April. Tablets/computer/tv became their education...and if you know me by now, you'll know that drove me crazy...I am very hands on learning! Fixing up a house and moving will suck the time right from you! So I decided we will school 2-3 days a week only focusing on math and language and then they got to pick an extra. P picked Spanish, C and N picked Typing! P has been getting real world math in the form of loan/equity/budget discussions in purchasing a new home. Math is all kid led, they tell me a problem, I write it down and they solve! For language, we are writing letters, stories and proofreading. If you are summer schooling, let me know what that looks like for you!
What our homeschool is looking like the last 2 weeks...teaching the process of selling a house!
This girl is flying through math!! Our math lessons are self made using these math manipulatives...can't do without them!! I introduce a concept 1 day, day 2 we do a journal page, day 3 and 4 is independent centers and day 5 (game days! so nothing lol)
So excited to share my latest video! I really love doing fun activities with the kids!
are 7 great handwriting activities for preschoolers and kindergarten! I show in de...
We are definitely an Oxford (serial) comma teaching homeschool family!
I present to you the new rover designs of 2021: Zero, Strong and Jackson! These are the AWESOME FINAL Mars Rover Projects! Under each picture is a description of the rovers each of my kiddos made! They came up with the names (I added the acronyms!) and they came up with the purpose (I added some fun lol)!
This is how we do worksheets around here!

I love the days when I have something specifically planned but we end up covering what my kids want to do instead. Claire made the observation of how 20+20 was like 2+2 and we ran with it! More photos in comments!
