Over the next few weeks you will see courses populated at the Homeschool Help Desk. A few we are working on are: Homeschool 101, What about the baby!, Is Socialization a concern? and more…. What would you like to see a course on?
@Amy Fiorentino absolutely, this is such a good point. My younest son does so many different therapies there are often days that were jsut a write off from a "school" standpoint. Its a lot less now thag he is older but there are still days when academics are just not happening. There should never be guilt in that but when you only see the perfect intsagram worthy moments represented its hard not to feel that way.
The school bus picked up the kids across the street this morning, and it was so satisfying to not have had to rush my kids out the door to catch it. Anyone else loving that their kids will be home with them right now?
Definitely! We dont actually hang out with a lot of other homeschoolers so my friends children all attend public school and it sounds like mornings are pretty hectic and stressful, im glad we can still slow mornings. My kids often arent even awake until 10 am lol they wouldnt fair well in public school
Do you do anything special for the "first day of school"? A "not back to school" party? Beach day? (our personal favourite) or do you stick to home and appreciate that today is like any other day? (so many grammar errors but you get the idea)
We dont, not anymore. I work full time and my kids are bigger now. Its just a regular day now. We used to do a park of beach day (or something else fun) when they were smaller though
