Midyear Reflection - Day 12

Several of us are taking a brief journey here in January to prayerfully reflect on our homeschooling thus far this academic year in hopes of tweaking and improving the rest of the school year. Each weekday I am posting a few questions from this survey for us each to take to prayer and into our hearts throughout that day. By the end of January, we should all have successfully evaluated the State of Our Homeschools and begin implementing whatever changes we are inspired to make.

I encourage you to make comments below about the answers you feel comfortable sharing with others, so we can lift each other up as the Body of Christ and be vessels of inspiration via the Holy Spirit.

Today's last question from the section on Goal-Setting finishes our Midyear Reflection. I pray that it has been meaningful for you and that you will benefit from your prayerful responses to the challenging questions of these twelve days!


16. What things can I try with each of my children in the coming months to overcome the struggles of this year? (name each child and ideas)

Midyear Reflection - Day 11

Today's next question from the section on Goal-Setting should help us build on the positive parts of the first part of the year. It is amazing how often we overlook the things that are going well in the interest of "moving forward."


15. How can I build upon and/or continue the successes I am having with each of my children this year? (name each child and ideas)

Today's two questions come from the section on Goal-Setting. That must mean we are almost finished! Yes, this is our last week of reflection, so be sure to go back to your answers from sections 1-3 to reflect on the following questions.


13. In the coming months, how can I use my greatest virtue to my advantage as a wife/mother/teacher?

14. In the coming months, how can I work towards overcoming my greatest fault?

Midyear Reflection - Day 9

Several of us are taking a brief journey here in January to prayerfully reflect on our homeschooling thus far this academic year in hopes of tweaking and improving the rest of the school year.

Today's final question from the section on Successes echoes number 8 from day 6 on Struggles. Once again, it is really important to periodically check in with our husbands about our homeschools! Over time, recognizing his perspective can really improve your homeschool and your marriage.

12. What does my husband appreciate most about our homeschooling and/or our children? (if you do not know, go ask him)

Today's next two questions from the section on Successes echo numbers 6 and 7 from day 5 on Struggles. This section of questions focuses on the positive and can still be challenging to answer but is well worth it!

10. How am I succeeding in creating effective lesson plans and in planning my daily/weekly schedule this year?

11. What subject areas are going well or are we enjoying this year?
