We have survived our first week back at homeschooling! It is so hard to believe that this is my sixth year as a homeschool mom. Wow!
Obviously, we got an earlier start than what is typical. That’s homeschooling for you. 😉
Harper has started K5, Addi is in 3rd grade, and Chloe is in 5th grade. We are doing Abeka Academy again. I wish that Abeka did a referral program to help cut down the cost! Can we work on that?
I know that many parents are currently weighing their options for school. With the current state of things, every option feels overwhelming to people. You are doing a good job, mama.
Just yesterday, I got an e-mail from the homeschooling art class that they are going to attempt a fall semester. The kids would be required to wear masks the whole time and kept separate. I just don’t know how I feel about it all. We are still staying home– other than outdoor hikes and occasional outdoor family visits. With my months-long pay cut and Scott’s temporary layoff, I think the decision has been made for us. I actually am thankful for that.
In the same vein as homeschooling, I wanted to share this book with you. I am on the launch team for Sally Clarkson’s new book Awakening Wonder. It comes out on August 18th. Since I am on the launch team, I got an advanced copy of the book. It is phenomenal. Every educator and parent can benefit from Sally’s words of wisdom. I’ve been a huge fan of her books for a long time. Another great one is called Different by Sally and Nathan Clarkson.
I hope that you have a wonderful weekend, friends!!
