crisis-schooling and ways to simplify it so you don't get overwhelmed

written by rachel barkowski on march 30

crisis-schooling” and ways to simplify it so you don't get overwhelmed

school at home? where do we even begin

this is what we've been hearing from moms and we'd love to help

it can be overwhelming trying to figure out what your teachers expect

frustrated

let me say that this crisis-schooling is not the way a typical homeschool family runs things

those of us that homeschool choose our curriculum at the beginning of the year

many of us have homeschool co-ops that we go to weekly

to be thrust into the middle of another teacher's curriculum mid-year has to be very confusing

many schools are not requiring you to do school from home

we hope that at the end of this crazy school year

don't try to be just like their school classroom and expect them to sit

quality over quantity!! get done and then go make some memories! 🙂

give your kids a bit of routine…something that will be constant

not wanting to come in from playing outside

divide their learning up into

keep things moving

don't try to be a pinterest mom

as much as you may think that making everything perfectly school-themed-decorated and diy will make your kids more happy school

finished

just get creative

don't be afraid to use electronics

saying it to me

again

soon you'll find that your kids will be looking excitedly to see what “different” thing you're going to suggest when it's time to start a new subject

use incentives

wondering how to do school at home

we sisters have collected so many resources and learning ideas over the years

purchase the download like we did

if your kids learn to type while they are doing school at home

count by 2's

rapid calculation drills - a beka has these cards that we use. our family does these together

multiply the numbers on them

bananagram tiles to make words

practice finding references in your bibles quickly

reciting them

playing bible trivia

have a family reading circle - taking turns each reading a page from a favorite book

act out a story and use a lot of expression in reading/acting

play pictionary

what are your kids interested in?? why not choose a topic that they want to know and look it up together! they'll learn most when it's things that they're really interested in

the “everything kids science experiment book” is inexpensive and fun

keep up

ask them what they would do to solve world problem scenarios - this can get interesting and enlightening. 🙂
