 Having four kids to homeschool at a time can be challenging. At the beginning is for sure hard (because they are all in different levels) until you get a routine. It could take a few weeks or even months until you get the hang of it, but you will, even if right now you feel like you will never get used to it or even if you feel you are failing. Just keep the great work one day at a time. 

However, even if they all have a routine and know what to do like my oldest (12 years old) who works independently, she might have questions, or concerns about what she is doing, while I'm teaching another child, and the other is asking for a snack, etc. It's kind of crazy!!

One of the things I try is to work with the little one first. she is the one who wakes up the earliest, so while she gets her milk, yes, she loves her milk in a toddler bottle. I can of like it because that gives me some time to work with her. We do reading, reviewing her booster cards until she is done with breakfast. Then we go to the workbooks, and since she is still in kinder/ first level and those lessons are small we are usually done fast and early, so most of the time while I'm teaching the other kids, she is drawing, playing or waiting for the siblings to have their small breaks between subjects so she can play with them. 

She also does coloring, additions, or watches some learning videos or does learning games on a website I really love. Education.com. She can work on whole guided lessons through games or reinforce what we learned. I love that she can entertain herself most of the time.

One of my favorite this she does is drawing. She starts by drawing what she wants, or feel. Then, she is asking us for ideas. I give her themes, so she gets inspired and draw more than one thing. I love seeing her so creative and her drawing skills have improved for just being 5 years old. Maybe this doesn't seem much for you but I am a person with no drawing skills so I think what she does is amazing!! Of course, after she draws she wants to show me her pictures and explains me what she did that and why and how she did it!
