Each day this month thereβs a box to be opened containing a paper with something to do,open or eat.
π
So far, weβve had family photos, 2 gifts opened (swipe to see todayβs gift), activity to create our friends some treats and date days.
ππ
This is the first year weβre doing this but itβs so successful I can guarantee itβll continue each year!
π
I may even need to get one of these for normal life because itβs just so fun!
ππππ
Are you getting ready for Christmas?

Goal 5: Handwriting.
ππ»
Today Iβve given him some family names for him to practice so he can write their Christmas gift cards.
ππ»
ππ»
Iβve given him the first notes page of goal 5 so I can have a quick visual summary of where heβs up to. Some could call it a test, but I much prefer the relaxed approach.
ππ»
In a few weeks, once weβve been working on this goal consistently and with purpose, Iβll get him to write these names without using a visual reference.
ππ»
This goal will be achieved when he can write simple sentences, without cues AND when he uses correct sizing and letter formation.
ππ»
Goals measured are goals achieved. π

Today was an inspiring morning as Jax and I finalised his 12 goals! π
β¨
We've meticulously crafted these goals, and now I'm diving into the intricate details of each. But I've decided to type them out and then print them on beautiful paper! π
π
Some are set for 3 months, while others are year-long ambitions.
ππ»
Each goal now has a clear, measurable roadmap, ensuring we know precisely when they're achieved. Even though many are lifelong pursuits, specificity is key for success in every single one. πͺ
ππ»
You can get your goal focused planner on my website. Itβs only $20. ππ

Our plans changed today, last minute so I decided it was a good time to do some Christmas treats.
ππ»
Protein rice crispy squares.
ππβοΈ
Really yummy although not fantastic for you unless youβre capable of making your own marshmallows!
π€©
But for those of us who donβt have the equipment or experience or patience, adding some vanilla protein powder can make you feel like itβs more healthy. Hahaha
π€©π€©
Goal ticking today! πππ
π€©
Yes! I did the majority of the work but now heβs happily using the cookie cutters to create the shapes.

Embracing the Return to Morning Basket!π
β¨ Iβve decided itβs time to venture back into the world of morning baskets.
βοΈ
Iβve been amazed by the engagement and focus Iβve been able to bring to our day, after only two days of following ideas and creating my own.
πβοΈ
For those who may not know, a morning basket involves selecting 1 or 2 activities that can either set the tone for the dayβs learning or be activities to stimulate the brain.
βοΈ
βοΈ Lately, our mornings have centered around brain-boosting Lionβs Mane mushroom drinks, a small ritual for enhanced mental clarity and focus.
ππ§
Yesterday I asked Jax, while we were in the shops if heβd like to do a word search with me in the morning during our coffee/chino time. I didnβt know if heβd be into it but it was an absolute hit. He even brought it out last night before bed!
βοΈπ
Watching the intense focus and determination while hunting for words is a sight to behold.
π―
Selecting this activity was not random; it is tied to specific learning goal. The word search isnβt just a fun game; itβs a deliberate tool to build concentration, enhance letter recognition, and nurture the ability to stay committed to a task. Itβs all about setting the stage for learning success!
πβοΈ
I havenβt formalised any goals yet and I still need to get my planner printed, but Iβm focused on the first stage of goal planning which is getting to know where heβs at and which goals are most important!

In a world where the wisdom of Theodore Rooseveltβs words usually holds true, homeschooling our unique children gives us a unique perspective.
ππ»
Conventional wisdom says βdoing nothing is the worst thing,β but sometimes, we must pause, observe, and recalibrate to nurture our childrenβs growth. Especially if theyβre neuro-spicy!
ππ»
School/lesson aversion isnβt a sign to force but an opportunity to understand and adapt. ππ
Want to see it in action today? Swipe to see what it looked like when we attempted to do some school work in the early afternoon!

Iβm so stoked to introduce you to this incredible tool that Iβve created to help us all identify the subjects that our childβs goals align with. πππ
ππ»
Meet the Goal Wheel. β¨π
ππ»
Hereβs why I created it and what it can do for you! πππ»
1οΈβ£ Take a deep dive into your childβs goals, the ones you were intentional about creating a few pages prior in the Goal-Focused Planned ππ
2οΈβ£ Trust your gut - let your instincts guide you in determining how closely each goal connects with your subjects. π€ if youβre new or unfamiliar with the curriculum thatβs ok! You can either ask for help, look it up or trust your instincts. This is for your eyes and mama heart only!
3οΈβ£ When you find that connection, grab your favourite colour and fill in that section of the wheel! π¨ποΈ maybe youβll even get creative and choose a different colour for each goal? π
4οΈβ£ Keep going until you see your goals come to life on this vibrant canvas! π
ππ»
The result? π Your very own Goal Wheel, revealing the beautiful synergy between your childβs goal and how it fits in with traditional subject.
ππ»
Itβs like a visual snapshot of the academic side of homeschooling while youβre only focusing on the goal side! πΈπ
ππππ»ππ»ππ»ππ
But, hereβs the deal!!
βΌοΈ
Embrace the blank spaces! Itβs totally fine if some sections remain untouched. πββοΈπ Your childβs goals are your focus!
βοΈππ»
Remember, this wheel is here to inspire, not stress you out! πͺπ€
Iβm eager to hear what you think about this page! π¬ Comment below and share your thoughts. Do you think this could be a game-changer for you?
ππ»ππ»
If you do, donβt forget to share it with your friends who could use this boost in their ! ππ
ππ»ππ»
Letβs all make our goals and traditional education subject align in a beautiful, colorful way! ππ
