Homeschooling during isolation

Isolation schooling is not Homeschooling 😥. As a homeschool family of nearly 18 years, this social distancing is just as hard for those of us who spend more time at home with our kiddos.  Our kids are missing out on the many social activities they are used to... Field trips, library stops, park meet ups, co-op classes,sports activities and just hanging out with their friends...The good thing is we don't have to figure out the schooling thing, it just a normal part of our days.💞 I will admit Katie has taken on alot of the homeschooling for me with Nursing school this year as it became much more intense.. Very Thankful for her help.
To the Mama's flung Into this, hang in there.  Know there will be gaps, that's ok. Take time to just soak up watching your kiddos learn and give them freedom to be creative and explore new interests.  Find a good chapter book, make a fort under the table and read aloud and escape the craziness of this world.  We love the Narnia series for read alouds, just find joy with the kids. If things are becoming a battle, Stop, try something different, reclaim your day, take a walk and try later.❤️
Today we drove to the middle school and got the school lunch in the drive up, New experience of public school lunch 😉Bonus was friends doing the pick up too..visited through the car windows,for a few minutes of connection. ❤️ Missing hugs and time with friends💞Finding Joy in the day to day💞
