Key Takeaway->Having a big age gap between your kiddos may not allow for easy combining of subjects, but that doesn’t mean you can't homeschool successfully.
Do you have a big age gap between your oldest and your youngest? We have 8 years between our two kiddos and have homeschooled both of them. At times, it was the best thing ever to have a big age gap. At times, it was the most challenging thing ever to have a big age gap. And it’s out of those experiences that I am sharing today’s three tips!

Here is what we do:
1. Connect with morning time.
2. Foster independent learning.
3. Don't divide, provide.

Key Takeaway->To keep the notebooking-clutter beast at bay – plan digitally, keep those loose pages together, and store your past notebooks in an easy-to-reference place.
Paper, papers everywhere!! Notebooking is a fantastic tool we can use to teach science, but unless your notebooking pages come pre-made and bound together in a book, you will struggle with a mess of pages to deal with. So, how do you organize all those papers into notebooks?

Here's how I organize our notebooks:
1. Plan digitally.
2. Keep it all together.
3. Store it all in an accessible place.

Key Takeaway->The beauty of notebooking is that it is a tool that can grow with your students. Once you understand the basics, you can scale-back or level-up to meet the needs of your students.
Notebooking is becoming a common recommendation in homeschooling circles because it is such an effective tool. It’s quite the departure from traditional worksheets, so how do you take advantage of the benefits of notebooking for science?

This is how we take advantage of notebooking in science:
1. Learn about notebooking.
2. Don't be afraid to get it wrong.
3. Let notebooking grow with your students.
