I thought I would post this question. How do you teach two or more children?
I started homeschooling an hour or two hours a day when Noah was 4 and Hannah was 2 out of necessity. We were living in a tiny apartment with my mother in law and we had to do something structured since we only sent Noah twice a week to a mother's day out preschool. I wasn't going to teach Hannah but then she wanted to learn and join in. So, I got her her own easier workbooks so she could something similar to what Noah was doing.
They seem to enjoy learning together so I continued on like this and eventually we went overseas.
Now I teach Bible, science, and history with the kids together. We usually do those subjects first and then do independent work last. Sometimes we switch for a change. I teach the level between them for those subjects. Then, I teach the other subjects spelling, math, grammar/writing, and reading separately according to their level. I usually give one independent work and then teach the other a subject that needs teaching a new concept.
What do you all do with your children? How do you teach multiple children? How is your day structured? Or has anyone had a better experience teaching their children on different levels for all subjects?
When the children get older, do you teach the children history and science separately? I would like to hear people's experiences. :) I think it's helpful to hear from those homeschooling for a while especially!
If anyone has any other questions to post, please feel free to do so since maybe you have a question that someone else has as well.
