Homeschooling Tips
Choose the Right Curriculum for Your Family. Finding the right curriculum is always challenging. ..( Do your research) And make sure you check state guidelines. https://homeschoolmadesimple.com/10-most-popular-homeschool-programs/
Have Goals. ..Goals are an important part of that process. When you have a vision and a plan for where you want to go, you are more likely to achieve those learning outcomes and properly align your day-to-day curriculum.
Embrace the Change: Set a school schedule but be flexible.
Participate in Volunteer Work. ..( we did lots of that )
Look for learning opportunities beyond the textbooks: Join homeschooling groups and area Co-Ops.
Decorating your Home School Space:
I was lucky my Hubby had an office in the house that was not in use during the day. So we turned into a school room. But lots of friends used unused Dining Rooms for a school room. I liked keeping my school room away from the bedroom but that's just us.
You can school anywhere ! Make it your personnel school space with color and storage. A great place to find Cool things : Local Dollar Tree or Thrift stores. Lisa
Small Spaces
- Transform a closet (or kitchen cabinet)
- Use rolling carts.
- Take advantage of the wall.
- Try a portable file folder.
- Laminate all the things.
- Go vertical with storage, too.
- Use a wall mount folding desk.
My Cart Suggestions:
I admire homeschoolers. Two sisters helped watch our kids when my husband and I worked opposite each other. Those homeschooled girls were such a blessing. I hate seeing my grandkids in these public schools. Our youngest girl will homeschool her kids although they only have the one who is 7 months old right now. She was a preschool teacher. The aby is already smart. She works beautifully with him. Prayers for a successful school year for all children. Your school are is very sweet. I love it!
