Homeschool Resources

Deciding to homeschool your child can be both exciting and overwhelming. I’ll never forget the moment we decided to make the leap, albeit only for a year. There’s so much to consider, but you don’t have to have it all figured out on day one. With a bit of planning (and a lot of patience!), you’ll find your rhythm, adjust it, and find it again and again!  Below, you’ll find advice to new homeschool parents (or veterans) from the perspective of a veteran teacher and someone who has homeschooled.

Sooo I’ll be the first to admit that I spent an ho Sooo I’ll be the first to admit that I spent an hour on my first day of school as a teacher making my students brainstorm a million rules — all of which were stated as “don’ts” and “nos”. 

Don’t talk while the teacher is talking. 
Don’t leave your desk messy.
Don’t get out of line. 
No running. 

Oh, how I cringe at the thought of it. 😬 💔 

Luckily, I learned from teachers who knew better and over the years, I ended up creating just ONE RULE in my classroom. I have the PERFECT book to use for the lesson, too! We still brainstorm “rules,” but the lesson looks and feels SO different now. 

💥 Comment below, and I’ll share all about how I teach just one rule every year and the book I use! 

P.S. To my 3rd graders my first year, I’m so sorry. 😭😭😭
