So you just pulled your child out of traditional school?
After you have decided that homeschooling is right for your family and met all your state's legal requirements, I suggest a different first step than most. Many will suggest starting by choosing a curriculum, and I say... that can wait a minute.
What?
Am I out of my mind?
Maybe, but try to stick with me...
If your children have already been in a traditional school setting, you'll need some time for them to decompress and for you to figure out your child's learning style. Wait to spend the money and countless hours researching curriculum.
First step: find your spot.
Create a weekly routine around a museum your child enjoys (get a family membership!). There's probably a zoo, science center, or art museum in your area. There's the library. A park. A cozy coffee shop where you can read. There are lots of possibilities and spots to try on!
Maybe this will be your permanent spot, but it could change with the season or your interests, and that is okay.
Why?
