Christian Book Review: The Organized Homeschooler ? Christian Stay ...

Title:? The Organized Homeschooler
Author: Vicki Carauna
Published: 2001
My Rating:? 4 1/2 out of 5 stars

Overview

Written by a homeschooling mom for homeschooling moms, Mrs Carauna presents simple but effective tools, tips, and suggestions to help create or build upon organizational systems for homeschooling.? From a scriptural standpoint, these ideas take on new meaning and go beyond simple organizational methods or lists.? Understanding your role as mother and woman of God, first and foremost, you are encouraged to consider your own motivations, strengths & weaknesses, and internal processes as a means to move into an orderly and structured homeschool lifestyle.

Each chapter addresses various areas to consider including your time, supplies and materials, your thoughts and your space.? Inviting practical steps with a spiritual emphasis, you are given well-thought out reasons for implementing organization for your homeschooling journey.

My Review

Although the coming year will be our first year for homeschooling, I was already convicted by many topics addressed in this book.? Mrs Carauna gave me cause to consider so much of what is in my heart and mind ? even before homeschooling ? and I appreciate the wise advice!? It is overwhelming to consider everything for homeschooling, but she has taken the time to break so many things down, that as I read them and begin implementing some of them, I feel a little less overwhelmed.

I really appreciated the chapters on organizing thoughts and time.? She did not just present methods of organization ? she really dug into motivational factors and heart attitudes as a mother ? not just a homeschool mom.? These honest questions and ideas gave me a lot to chew on, and I appreciated the internal review as much as the external recommendations.? Towards the end of the book, illustrations and lists provided became springboards to work from and the Additional Resources in the back of the book gave me more practical helps to consider.

If you are a homeschool mom who needs a bit of help in the organizational area ? or if you are a new homeschool mom ? I would recommend you get your hands on a copy of this book and take time to really read it front to back.? You may find the tools you need to streamline your homeschool life.
