For any experienced homeschoolers out there, please give us desperate imamother's your top tips.
We need help creating a schedule and setting realistic learning goals for our kids during this challenging time!
How do we teach/assign work to our different aged kids at once?
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

Crossposted! Smile

)) I just started an Israel-based homeschooling thread, but the ideas should be the same!

hmmm one kid over here is already doing an online school for kodesh. One afternoon a week she has a chol teacher come over who sets her work for the week. She is 12 so she is able to do most of it on her own the rest of the week.

There are lots of great online websites where you can do maths and so on. Khanacadamy, ixl, etc.

Did your kids school provide schoolwork? Mine did. Plus a website where we can download more worksheets.

I’m teaching my son to read using the orton gillingham workbooks and abcmouse.
Stocking up on workbooks on different subjects and craft supplies.
My plan is to have some kind of schedule
Davening, big breakfast, workbooks/teaching, lunch, play, crafts... something like that

Are there any computer programs I can download (ie not web-based - I don't have WiFi at home intentionally)?

Reposting some resources I shared earlier:

Unfortunately there is very little in the sense of a single comprehensive curriculum, you really need to DIY although the resources are out there.

https://jewishhomeschool.wixsite.com/ntjoh - great place to start.

Useful blogs:
http://jewishhomeschool.blogspot.com
http://chinuchathome.info
http://avivahwerner.com/catego.....ling/

Tons of materials:
http://Chinuch.org
https://www.waldereducation.org

Torah4children as mentioned has wonderful workbooks, as does Rietti and others linked in the JewishHomeschool wix site site linked above.

I have a curriculum goal list by grade level, but it will probably be more practical to try to follow the grade level in the school you are in.

ETA: TorahGames.org has some games that can be downloaded as apps and used without internet access.
