And I say that with as much sincerity as I can through text.

Our 14-year-old was at an event with peers a few weeks ago and they were bashing homeschoolers.

Although hurt by their words, she stood up for herself and supported our family’s decision.

But, that’s a big part of it.

It was our decision.

We spent years praying about it. Talking about it. Developing a plan for how to homeschool.

School closures have led many parents to explore the world of homeschooling, discovering the benefits and challenges of educating their children at home.

As homeschoolers, we’ve always championed this alternative approach to education, and now more families are considering it too.

If you find yourself in this situation, you might be wondering how to navigate this new territory and provide the best learning experience for your children.

Thankfully, there are numerous free education and homeschool resources available to assist you in your journey.

Whether you’re looking for online lessons, printable worksheets, or interactive activities, these resources can be a valuable addition to your homeschooling toolkit.

Additionally, if you ever need extra support or have complex projects to tackle, there are specialized services, such as “https://mypaperdone.com/do-my-project” that can provide professional assistance.

Remember, you’re not alone in this endeavor, and with the right resources and support, you can create a fulfilling and successful homeschooling experience for your children.

Many of you finding yourself left without options currently didn’t have that opportunity. You’ve been thrown into this based on the decisions of others.

Now you’re having to ask yourself,

How Do I Teach My Children at Home?

And I get that. So, I’m here to help with some free educational resources to utilize during this time since I’m currently seeing plenty of traffic on my How to Homeschool for Free Using Google post.

After all, with over 17 years of homeschooling under our belts, this is an area we know a bit about.

The following list includes educational resources especially for schools to use during the closure in addition to free homeschool resources, games, and printables.

Basically, ways for your children to stay engaged in learning during the school closures and extended spring break periods.

Without further ado,

Also, one quick note from a seasoned homeschool family, the actual education part of a school day doesn’t have to last 8 hours!

A lot of hours spent in a traditional school setting are spent in lines, walking to classes, listening to a teacher’s instructions, or doing other daytime work.

When you’re working at home, it’s a much more independent, student-led study time. Things can be done at the individual child’s pace and learning style, which often doesn’t require a full eight-hour day.

We get all schoolwork done, typically at least 4 courses a day, in around 3-4 hours a day. It all depends on the subject, the student, the teacher, the lesson, and busy work.

Most of all,

YOU’VE GOT THIS!

There are plenty of homeschool groups on Facebook where you can reach out for help as needed. There are several of us who have been doing this long enough we can help you walk through this.
