December in our homeschool – 2020

January 2, 2021January 2, 2021 by annieandfam

Ahhh what to say about the final month in a very, very challenging year? This December was different than years prior in many ways. We were unable to celebrate Christmas with our extended families because of COVID and yet we were able to spend a lot of time with my parents, because they’re our bubble …

November in our homeschool – 2020

December 2, 2020December 2, 2020 by annieandfam

At this risk of sounding like a broken record – this year is weird. There are the ways in which this year is weird for everyone, global pandemic and teetering democracy and all. And then there are unique ways we managed to make this year even weirder for our family, like deciding to do a …

Autumn Meal Plan

November 15, 2020November 15, 2020 by annieandfam

We have been living out of suitcases for two and a half months as we’ve been out of our house for a remodel, and a lot of our regular routines have been up in the air. One of the biggest areas that has felt unsettled for us has been food. This was amplified by the …

October in our homeschool – 2020

November 2, 2020November 3, 2020 by annieandfam

What a whirlwind October has been for our family! We spent part of the month on a road trip to Colorado, and as I write this we’ve been out of our house 63 days while we remodel parts of our house. Add onto all of that upheaval the stress of the worsening COVID pandemic and …

September in our homeschool – 2020

October 4, 2020October 5, 2020 by annieandfam

When I started this blog two years ago I started out by writing monthly journal entries about homeschool life. Last year, I switched to writing about specific blocks I was teaching my then fourth grader. Having looked back at old posts over the summer I’ve decided I like the monthly journal entry approach best. They …

Back to school 2020

September 17, 2020September 17, 2020 by annieandfam

This is our fifth official year homeschooling (meaning, my oldest is in fifth grade … my kids have always been home …) and this year’s back to school vibe is unlike any other we have experienced. Normally back to school involves back to our lessons – yes – but also back to ballet and back …

Self-care during a pandemic

July 29, 2020July 29, 2020 by annieandfam

I have been reluctant to write about step three of Plan It Out because it’s about self care. What even is self care for mothers in this time of the Coronavirus pandemic? We are home with our children 24/7 and I know that for me, many of my self-care practices have gone out the window.  …

Resources for a Waldorf-inspired Fifth Grade

July 21, 2020July 22, 2020 by annieandfam

I am right in the thick of figuring out the resources I will be using for my fifth grader this year. I’m sharing about resources (click here to see my resources planned for first grade) and honestly it’s all still a bit messy for fifth grade. For one thing, I am concerned about libraries being …

Block plan for fifth and first grades

July 10, 2020 by annieandfam

Hello there! We are really in the heart of summer now. My oldest daughter and I almost share a birthday, so when we celebrate the Fourth of July and then our 48-hour birthday, it always feels to me that we’re at the apex of that expansive, light-filled stretch of summer that I love so much. …
