Helpful Homeschool Habit: Moving Forward


We’ve been enjoying a slow and steady start to homeschool after a fun summer. This week has been one marked with moving on. Like the Little Engine That Could. I think I can… I think I can… We aren’t quite up to full speed but I’d say we are at least 3/4 or close to being full throttle. We are still savoring summer with some pool visits but all the extracurricular is definitely filling up the calendar. And it’s all good.

Moving on past the mess. “It’s a messy Monday. Piano books in the floor. Paint and Popsicle in the sink. Stacks of laundry. Crumbs on the floor. Play dough on the table. All evidence of homeschooling five and regular sorts of stuff. Pausing to be grateful before rallying the troops for clean up.”

Moving out of preschool. We started the week with the promotion of our youngest child out of the preschool department at church. After 17 years, the Hodgepodge has left the preschool hall. This is big, folks.

Moving out of a cast! Yes, those four weeks have flown by and now – freedom! (Roller skating accident.)

Moving on in math. Headphones surely do help with lots of subjects going on with lots of ages. And my younger two are loving their math – 1st grade Saxon and 3rd grade Teaching Textbooks.

Moving on and adding more elementary subjects like science with Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Zoology: Land Animals of the Sixth Day. The elementary Jr. Notebooking journals are a hit again this year. ( <
