For the new (and seasoned) Homeschool family...
- Few things to remember:
- You can’t create “the” classroom environment in your home. It’s stifling and torture. Don’t try to duplicate it.
- YOU’RE the one in charge (it may be time to brush up yourself). You may find a little less Netflix and more filling your mind in the evening keeps you on your toes:)
- Ask yourself: what’s important to our family? What can we cut out of the schedule to make this as efficient and effective as possible?
- YOU HAVE CHOICES.
- The most important thing is CHARACTER and GOOD HABITS.
