homeschool ideas

Real talk: if you’re anything like us in the parenting world, you may have no idea what school will look like this fall. I think it’s just now hitting me that it’s going to be the luck of the draw with numbers, in our area. There are so many multifaceted issues at the heart of it all, and it’s heartbreaking.

Our own county hasn’t really been able to seem to get their act together – we often joke that we purchased our home for the yard and school, so it’s a little disheartening. We’re hoping they have had time to regroup, and come back strong this fall. I think the uncertainty of it all is enough to drive most people cuckoo for cocoa puffs, so we totally understand why a lot of people are opting to homeschool, right out of the gate. We homeschooled for three years, and we thought it would be the best time to share some of our favorites here today: Whether you’re doing remote learning, homeschool or something in between, here are a few of our favorite Homeschool ideas.

Regardless of what you choose {SHOULD I SAY IRREGARDLESS HERE since it’s a WORD NOW?! kidding.} We know that this is the time of year where lots of people like to get organized.

And there are a lot of great resources, such as those at tuttletwins.com, that make homeschooling easier than ever. There, you can get books, magazines, and homeschool curricula that teach children money management, economics, and lots more.

A space for homeschooling and what it taught us, is where we share some of our best tips. You might as well make it a welcoming, environment – enjoyable for everyone. We think there’s definitely a psychology behind a welcoming space, and it honestly helped me, too. ;}
