Some writing Eli did today without me having to sound anything out ♥️ very proud of him. I decided not to correct his spelling errors today after he was a little sensitive already from learning something new #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschool
So excited to start lesson planning! I know it’s not a very good photo but just uploading so I can remember when I started this year. We are doing 4 courses as a group and 3 individually. #canadianhomeschooling #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
So incredibly excited for next year! So looking forward to diving into our new curriculums. I’m so thankful to have been following @ourhomeschooljourney1 because she posted a lot about the curriculums she is using and highly recommends. I ended up getting 4 books that she recommended and they look amazing!!! I’m teaching 2 very unique kids who like structure, stories and hands on work. Also this planner I’m using is amazing! It includes sooo many details and pages to make homeschooling so organized. Feel free to DM if you have any questions about these books and I’d be happy to help! #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
She made a pinwheel!

We are calling it a “learning spurt”. Shes getting it! We are flying through level 2 and I’m about to order Level 3 because I know she will be there so soon! We are getting very close catching up to her grade level! She’s so happy about this! #allaboutspellinglevel2 #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Word bank review #allaboutspellinglevel2 spelling @allaboutlearning we are soooo loving how this curriculum is laid out. Mom and Dad are learning a lot too! English is complicated but there are rules we can follow and then it doesn’t seem so confusing. #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
We are almost half way through #allaboutspellinglevel2 still playing catch up so that her #buildingspellingskills 4 book makes sense. She’s doing grade 4 work for her language arts class but with a diagnosed learning disability in spelling we are working with different curriculums to make this easier on her. Thankfully the AAS curriculum is laid out really well for her and in a way that she prefers to learn. We should be caught up in no time 👌 #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Cute little Halloween craft idea from @mykastauffer new vlog! I am absolutely in the same boat, I often forget how important arts and crafts are! Miss K looves art but I find our days getting filled with everything but art! Painting calms Kotas soul and gives her an opportunity to de stress and resets her. When she has an opportunity to do some kind of art in her day it’s always a happier day for everyone :). Friends, What’s are some of your favorite art projects lately? #art #creativity #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Anyone else have children in Martial Arts? We started at the beginning of October and it’s been the ONLY thing miss K is excited about. Swimming, dance, soccer, voice, skating... no Bueno. #tangsoodo #martialarts #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Catching up on our book while we color. She reads on her own before bed and during the day we listen to the audiobook together #youngfredle #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Our homeschool table and our breakfast with apples. Miss K and I are both working on school together.

We also had a super fun time with our kiwi crate learning about body systems! We learned how to hand sew and we got a live size body poster that we can stick our felt organs onto. We also made a stethoscope that really works!! @kiwico_inc #kiwicrate #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
We absolutely love @kiwico and their tinker crate! Miss K looks so forward to them and it really helps her mood ❤️ today she built a walking Robot! She learned about everything involved and how to give power and movement to something. #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
That’s a wrap for our magic school bus theme in our class!

Not sure if anyone needs to hear this today.. we all need a reminder sometimes. Kids are smarter and pick up on more than we will ever know. It can be sooo hard to keep our patience and not get upset. It’s a huge struggle for me daily and I always need reminders. Sometimes something she did the day before perfectly cant be done the following day. I tend to think since she’s done some things before that it should be held to higher standards now and she would keep doing whatever it is. #specialneedsmom #hiddendisabilities #patience #mothers # #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Miss K has been working so hard this year on writing and spelling! We are almost at the point where she can do all her own short answer work in her books. Previously I would scribe for her and leave out words for her to then fill in or she would write the first portion and I would finish. I always try to keep things positive and really watch her level of stress. Working with a child who’s severe anxietyis very triggered by written work because of learning disabilities and also her extreme adhd causing her to need to move constantly takes a lot of patience and understanding. Everyday we are learning better ways to coup and make learning easier for her. Multisensory learning is absolutely key with her but sometimes we just need to do writing.. #writing English #learning disability #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
This is so true! Better quality friendships and she’s not forced to play with kids that are mean and bully her. She’s making friends at a faster rate and so much happier! #homeschoolforthewin #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation

🧡🧡 exploring the badlands was super fun! We kept thinking we saw fossils but then learned that the bentonite clay in the ground gets wet, slimy and imprints can be made but then when it dries it becomes very hard. #bentoniteclay #badlands #fossils #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation

So close!!! Plowing through #allaboutspellinglevel1 we have already noticed her weekly spelling tests are getting so much less stressful now that she’s learning the rules behind spelling and properly segmenting her words. Did you know that C says /s/ before I, e or y? And that you double the letters F, L and S if they are at the end of a one syllable, one vowel word? Ck is used only after a short vowel.... so many things I didn’t even know. #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Starting this officially now! Seriously trying to help her out as much as I can. Writing = stress!! She never learned the proper way to write her letters and numbers and she’s a perfectionist. #handwritingwithouttears #wegunnacrushit #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Another reason why we homeschool.. because if we didn’t she would spend her time hiding under tables like this... we have found ways to make her sensory processing differences easier on her and more bearable but public school never could. She does do 3 short classes a week in groups out of the house. Some days are better than others but I stay with her and let her take breaks and take her home early if necessary. #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation

I promise you, Bach’s a cool guy with a cool story! Did you know he had like a bazillion kids!? Did you know when he was 9, his parents died and he went to live with his brother who taught him to tune and fix organs? NOT THE BODY TYPE ORGANS! THe music kind! ☺️ #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation

Miss K rocked it last night! She layered the dip herself :) this was a big thing for her sensory differences, the strong smell of the refried beans, the guacamole with extra garlic and all the potential for messy hands and spills. She did great! #7layerdip # #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation

Good morning! #happy thoughts on this cold Wednesday morning! Little miss K is going to be relaxing this morning and then we are doing school this afternoon. Yesterday she had a huge accomplishment, she mastered all 3 letter words! So she knows enough about spelling to figure out all 3 letter words I quiz her with! This is HUGE!!

This week we are working on a set of 18 spelling words, learning about music history and Bach, recognizing patterns in math. We are feeling extra tired, not sure why. We feel more comfortable in the living room floor than at the school table. Today will be a short day, we are wrapping up and planning on going for a bike ride for some fresh air and to get our heart pumping. Sometimes we do evening school after dinner so we will see if today we can make that happen. #bach #patternsinmath #spellingwords #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
We do 20minutes of work followed by an educational video, something creative(art or building), a snack or outside time. Her brain works SO hard on learning-concentrating on every little detail, processing more than the average person inside her head while also constantly moving and sensory seeking. To help little miss be as productive as possible I need to be intune with what she needs and what her limits are. #flexibileeducation is very important for her success in learning. #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
Today was super productive! We worked on our supplemental spelling curriculum #allaboutspelling level 1. Little Miss.K has a learning disability in spelling (and writing) and never grasped the fundamentals while she was in public school from k-grade 3. We are really enjoying the All about spelling program because it’s multi sensory and since she is a very squirmy girl, having letter tiles to build works amazing for her! She builds on her confidence with letter sounds/phonograms without the added stress of having to physically write the words. See the next slides for her tip on “destressing” and using a bag full of liquid soap to draw in and also play with to “feel calm”. #homeschool #homeschooling #2E #specialneeds #adhd #sensoryprocessing #anxiety #homeschoolingadhd #homeschoolingthroughanxiety #homeschoolingthroughsensoryprocessingdifferences #sensoryprocessingdifferences #albertahomeeducation
