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

1. Transform a closet (or kitchen cabinet)
2. Use rolling carts.
3. Take advantage of the wall.
4. Try a portable file folder.
5. Laminate all the things.
6. Go vertical with storage, too.
7. Use a wall mount folding desk.
