RAR #229: How a 25¢ Spiral Notebook Can Change Your Homeschool


Listen Later

During my hardest year of homeschooling, I had a 12, 10, 8, and 1 year old, and twin newborns. Life was… a little chaotic.


One week, a friend of mine who had homeschooled all three of her kids asked, “So how's homeschooling going?”


And naturally, I burst into tears. I’m not sure she saw that coming. But then, maybe she did. 


Anyway, she asked me how I was keeping the kids on track for their schoolwork and how much they could do when I wasn’t able to lead them, and when I looked at her with a blank stare, she said, “Okay, I’m going to come over tomorrow and I’ll bring some spiral notebooks.”


So, I cleared a path to the door and she came and she showed me how a 25 cent notebook could completely change our homeschool for the better.


Today, we're going to talk about those spiral notebooks-- the one simple tool that has had the biggest impact on my homeschooling life.


In this episode, you’ll hear: 

  • How the spiral notebook system combats overwhelm when you’re being pulled in too many directions
  • How I used the spiral notebooks in our homeschool
  • The modified system that we use in our homeschool now
