These are all great tips! I have a 2 year old and 1 year old and we are leaning towards the home school route also. This gives me something to think about and time to plan 🙂 P.S. I LOVE your lined paper rug! Did you make it?

Thank you for your honesty in sharing what worked for you. Our family has been home-schoolng for 23 years. My take away from all of our years is: BE FLEXIBLE. What works with one child is not the best for the other. What worked one year with 3 children did not work well the next with 4 – so we moved things around. One year all the books were in milk crates that got stashed in the front hall closet in the evening. One year they were on shelves in the basement. The pencils? They were, uh, somewhere! I looked at all the beautiful pictures of organized, color coded, multi-shelved spaces and felt that somehow we were lacking. Do not do this to yourself! Reading history in the living room is relaxing and makes for great discussion. Afterwards, those who need more quiet can scatter to do their work while others get one on one time in the dining room with mom. Whatever works for you is the right way. I hoe you enjoy your time of schooling at home. These years have been the hardest, most joyous years of my life. I wouldn’t trade them for anything!

Thank you SO much for this! I love your take on homeschool. Your decision to jump in last year and the posts that followed have been part of what helped me decide I could do this too. So this week I submitted the official paperwork to the School Board and we will be beginning our homeschool journey with our 1st grader in a few weeks! We live in a VERY small space currently {It was supposed to be “temporary” but that has turned into almost 2 years lol} so this post has really helped me realize it doesn’t matter than I can’t designate a whole room to our “school” so long as we find what works for us and we’re both comfortable in it. Eeeek! I’m just a little excited 🙂 Your prayers are so very much appreciated as we go forward with finding our curriculum and I will be browsing through your old posts again for more helpful nuggets 🙂 Prayers for you to have a successful homeschool year as well!
