Homeschooling asks a lot of us, it asks me to be more organized, patient and creative. It asks me to teach on days like today when I have a migraine and I am tired or stressed.
We spent the first few weeks of September on break this will be an annual time off with our county fair and Labor Day holiday. It is a natural time to break when everyone else is headed back to the grind of school and work.
Now we are back at it, weather is cooling, leaves are changing, soccer has started, dance is back in session. It feels like lots of new beginnings.
I've been revitalized with some curriculum changes, I am not what I would have thought I would be as a homeschool teacher. I haven't planned out our entire school year, which I would have leaned toward or so I thought. I have became more of an adaptable free flowing more fluid schedule, like yesterday when Hayden asked to do more math because what he did the say before was so fun, thus he just did more math :)
We are having fun with new books by scholastic called Word Ladders, I haven't purchased much scholastic stuff but these are great. A brain teaser! Always something fun and new if you are adaptable to change and not stuck on certain ideals.
Keep Calm & Mom On
