In this video I’m sharing what our 5th grade science is looking like right now, and honestly it’s as much about a new mindset as it is about a new book. As an only-child homeschool mom, I’m always paying attention to what keeps my kid engaged, what feels doable for me to teach, and what actually leads to learning instead of burnout. I walk you through the science resource we’re using, how I’m approaching lessons, and how I’m keeping things consistent without making it complicated. I also talk through the “real life” side of homeschooling—how routines shift, how planning can either help you or stress you out, and why I’m giving myself permission to adjust as we go. And because I’m me, I’m always thinking about confidence too—whether that’s showing up for homeschool, or showing up for myself in my wig journey and hair loss life. If you’re trying to homeschool science in a way that’s structured but not suffocating, this is exactly the kind of update I love to share: what we’re using, why I picked it, and how I’m making it work in our home.
