SUMMER TIME, BREAK TIME – Homeschooling Is Where The Heart Is!

July 1, 2016February 4, 2017 Michele Andrews

Enjoy your summer homeschoolers! However you choose to spend it. Whether you’ve already started the next school year or you’re teaching a lesson here and there or you’re waiting until August, September… take a deep breath knowing much was taught and much was learned by both the student(s) and the teacher(s), in your home, this past year.

And as any homeschooling parent knows the learning and teaching never stops…but the writing of this column will while I take a breather (verb; synonyms – chill out, hang loose, mellow out, kick back, put my feet up, take a load off, unwind, take ten, loosen up, and take it easy) before my daughter begins 6th grade.

Email me with your homeschooling questions at homeschooling heart@gmail.com.

Until next month God bless you and your little or not so little ones!
