Shake It Up

No matter what kind of homeschooler you are, you can get into a rut.  Same outings, same schedule.  I guess the trick is to see you need to shake it up. With most of us getting into the swing for a new year and planning our time, now is a great time to find ways to make things more fun for you and the kids.  


I am a hermit, so for me and mine it is getting out of the house.  Joining co-ops and homeschool groups like this one have been a savior.  Finding things to do in the community is also a good tip.  Visit local parks and have a outside school day, or watch a video about a topic of study.  Cook a meal from the country you are studying.  The options are endless.   Find a group of mom’s and plan a craft day, or a party celebrating the holiday of a religion different from yours.


It does not matter how you shake it up, but remember that everyone needs a change once in awhile. For some that might mean a quiet day at home reading, or writing a blog. Just remember that shaking it up can renew your excitement about your choice to homeschool and get your kids interested again.
