Hi Friend,
The year of 2020 will live in history books and infamy. It may also go down as the year homeschooling became cool—or at least essential. Millions of families are joining our ranks and COVID has made mere mortals of us all, even veteran homeschoolers.
Finding your footing, planning your year, creatively teaching, dealing with crankiness and overwhelm—these are experiences every parent faces as they take the responsibility to provide their kids an education.
This next series will be your guide through those thorny patches and rocky trails. Pull on your hiking boots. Apply bug spray! We're going in!
In this next Tea with Julie series, let's tackle how to get started!
Starting a New Homeschool Year
- New to Homeschooling
- Teacher Training for Homeschool Parents
- Start Your School Year with a Surprise
- Routine vs. Schedule: Which Brings Peace and Progress?
- The Back to School Freak Out
- Milkshake Apologies for a Struggling Learner
- Prepare for: My Curriculum's not Working Day
You're not alone. If you have a friend who is in need of a little weekly pep talk and strategy session, share these emails with her (or him).
Here are additional free resources.
I've written a book that is a primer in home education: The Brave Learner
