How to Set Homeschool Goals that are Worth Achieving

Ready to Set Homeschool Goals that are manageable and achievable?

How about goals that will benefit your children more than helping them pass a test?

Yesterday, my 13-year old made me promise that I would NOT do the dishes for him while he was outside playing.

It was almost dark and I was “forcing my kids to go play” before the light was gone for another day, and my son wouldn’t budge. He knew that I was in putter mode and that I was heading toward his lunch dishes.

  • Would you like to raise kids that get in between you and a dirty kitchen?
  • Do you dream about kids that race you to the dryer so they can be the ones who grab that warm load of laundry that needs to be folded and put away?
  • Can you imagine eating a delicious meal that was planned and prepared by your teenagers while you were not in the kitchen?

You are ready for your copy of my book, Homeschool Guide for Real Families.

Here is what you will find:

Included:

Book

  • What makes a successful homeschooler?
  • Survival Plan
  • How to Homeschool: Setting goals
  • Establish Goals Worksheets
  • Identifying Children’s Strengths and Weaknesses
  • Over 16 years of teaching/homeschooling wisdom
  • Identifying educational benchmarks
  • Choosing curriculum
  • Planning school year worksheets
  • A Year at a Glance Worksheets
  • Unit Study Worksheets
  • My Favorite Resources
  • Staying Organized

Sound good?
As a homeschooler, I never had a large homeschooling budget.

I have always taught on a shoestring budget, creating what I need along the way.

I wanted to be able to share so much value with you that you would feel like you found buried treasure.

I am so blessed to be able to work from home as I school our boys.
None of this would be possible without the love and support of my husband and five of our children!

Today I am featuring one of my favorite bloggers! 
Erica@ Confessions of a Homeschooler is a true inspiration to me 
as a mom and homeschooler.


This past year she released an amazing resource for homeschoolers, that is a must-have for newbies!!


Enjoy this post from Erica.
So you’ve finally decided to homeschool…but have no clue where to get
started? After thousands of emails asking for help getting started
homeschooling, I thought a book that set it all out for you in a
step-by-step format would a great benefit to new and current
homeschoolers!
Homeschooling 101 is a step by step practical guide
that will help you to get started, and continue on in your
homeschooling journey. It is designed to help guide you through all of
the steps to getting started, choosing and gathering curriculum,
creating effective lesson plans, scheduling your day, organizing your
home, staying the course and more! It even includes helpful
homeschooling forms!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CGD3376/ref=as_li_tf_il?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00CGD3376&linkCode=as2&tag=abetwaytohom-20%22%3E%3Cimg%20border=%220%22%20src=%22http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com
Just
the mere thought of homeschooling can be a very daunting task. Delving
into the unknown can also create an element of self-doubt that fills
your mind right off the bat. That coupled with an overwhelming task of
choosing and gathering curriculum, creating lesson plans, organizing
supplies, and teaching multiple grade levels can be quite disheartening.
But
don’t worry, in this book it is my intention to offer you a step by
step practical guide that will help you to get started and continue on
in your homeschooling journey. I will help guide you through all of the
steps to getting started, choosing and gathering curriculum, creating
effective lesson plans, scheduling your day, organizing your home,
staying the course, and more!
As you may have heard already, there
is no one right way to homeschool. This book is by no means a rigid set
of rules that must be followed exactly. Instead it is a tool to provide
you with the means to get started in your journey. Take from it what
makes sense for your family, and alter that which needs to be changed to
fit the unique needs of your homeschool.
I thought a quick
glimpse at the table of contents would help give you an idea of all the
valuable goodies included in this book.

Make
no mistake, this is not a pamphlet full of fluff, instead it is full of
helpful information, tools, and resources! I also did my best to
include requests from my readers as well, so hopefully I covered most
things related to homeschooling.
While I realize that all
homeschools are different, new homeschooling families still need a
tangible starting point. With over 100 pages of valuable information and
tools, Homeschooling 101 will guide you through your homeschooling
