From a friend:
Your homeschool day doesn’t have to begin at 8am.
⠀
You can let your kids sleep in and you can drink an extra cup of coffee in the quiet.
⠀
You can do morning time in the afternoon.
⠀
You can do your read alouds in bed at night.
⠀
You can homeschool in the evenings, on the weekends, or during baby’s naptime.
⠀
You can get all your homeschooling done before 10am if you are early risers.
⠀
You can homeschool in the pockets of your day – when you’re in the car, waiting for an appointment, while you’re cooking dinner, or on the sidelines of a sibling’s at soccer practice.
⠀
Your homeschool rhythm doesn’t have to look anything like a traditional school day.
⠀
The beauty of homeschooling is that you get to decide what works for your family. The where, when, and how is up to you – there is no wrong way to do it.
⠀
If your family doesn’t like mornings, don’t pressure yourselves to begin your day early. This is the freedom of homeschooling.
⠀
You can build your homeschool rhythms around your work schedule, farm chores, the seasons, or sleep schedules. This is the freedom of homeschooling.
⠀
You can homeschool year-round, take a break every six weeks, or take an entire month off in the middle of the year because of illness, a new baby is born, you move across the country, or you need to care for a loved one. This is the freedom of homeschooling.
⠀
Build your homeschool around the life you actually live – not the life the system says you’re supposed to live.
