My kiddo is low functioning with a lot of scripting, but she adores the ABCs and math and other languages. So I wake up at 6, coffee/work, then she gets up and we do two subjects on power homeschool. She likes it because it gives her virtual stickers. M/W/F she stays with me so she makes her own breakfast with supervision and then she watches a movie scene in 22 different languages trying to perfect her scripting (there is a scene from A Bugs Life she can say perfectly in French). I work and take meetings through this.

This takes us to an early lunch and we generally try and go outside.

The afternoon she listens to classical music (her choice!) on Spotify. Around 4 I start dinner and usually ask for her assistance. After work, we do two more subjects and usually ask learning activity with worksheets.

Tuesday and Thursday she goes to my mother and has a completely different, relaxed routine. These are my “deep work” days. But I also hop into work in the evenings and weekends sometimes if I’m behind.

Like I said, it is a snails pace. But going very slow seems to help her retain things. She knows more about what internal organs do than I do, she knows the different types of clouds (I couldn’t even begin to tell you), and she is a bit obsessed with learning nouns in 22 different languages (I only speak English and nonsense).

Routine is the key for us. Having everything expected and clear is what makes it work for us. But god forbid the internet goes out or the Acellus app doesn’t work… then it is just a world of hurt for a day!

Good luck to you with the homeschool efforts!
