In this chatty Term 1 update for our 2025–2026 homeschool year, I’m sharing what’s working, what I’m changing, and the honest little reviews I wish I could’ve heard before we started. I’m homeschooling across three levels this year—elementary, middle, and high school—so this is very much a real-life check-in on what our days actually look like once the plans meet real kids. I also point you to my full curriculum picks blog post and the grade-level videos (5th, 8th, and 11th) if you want the deep dive by child. I talk through the resources we’re using for core subjects and enrichment, including math/science support, lab kits, literature, writing, and electives like piano and Spanish. I also share some of the faith-building pieces we’re weaving in—Bible studies and worship-focused resources—because that’s always the heart of our homeschool. If you’re planning Term 1 and wondering how to juggle multiple ages without burning out, this update is meant to encourage you and help you make simple, confident adjustments as you go.
