A Day in the Life of My Homeschool World
Term 2, 2025-2026
Dear Mama,
I hope you are having a lovely start to your week. Today, I want to give you a little peek into my homeschool.
Every day I write our agenda on the board. The agenda includes chores, errands, and appointments we need to do. This keeps us on task. My children love looking at the board to see what we are doing for the day.
The children begin their day with independent work at the dining table. This includes Math and English Language Arts. While they are completing their independent work, I make them smoothies and help them when needed.
Once their independent work is done, we sit for our Benediction Table, which includes a memory verse, a hymn, a Bible story, and a prayer.
Once we complete our Bible Time, we take a small break and meet in the living room for Beauty Time. There, we learn about the arts and read our family literature book. After we complete our Beauty Time, we take a small walk around the block and see how nature is unfolding in our neighborhood.
After our walk, we come together for our family lesson. This is the core lesson, like history, geography, science, and Spanish. We do one core lesson day, so it is a bit longer than Charlotte Mason recommends, but it works for us. Once the lesson is complete, the children work on their notebooks. While my older children work on their notebooks, I work with my younger son on his language arts.
Following our core lessons, we have lunch and watch World Wide News. This is a great way to introduce world topics and struggles to our children. After lunch, we do an enrichment activity, such as art instruction or handicrafts. It’s a great way to end the day.
We really do love the flow of our homeschool. Once in a while, I change things up but keep the flow similar.
How do you plan out your day?
Warmly,
Mirley

Love how intentional the Benediction Table is before diving into academics. That rhythm of grounding the day in something bigger first seems like it would shift the whole energy of learning. We tried something similar with morning routines and found kids retain material way better when there's that moment of connection beforehand. The one core lesson aproach is really smart too, beats trying to cram everything and loosing depth.
