For the new (and seasoned) Homeschool family...

• Few things to remember:
  • You can’t create “the” classroom environment in your home. It’s stifling and torture.  Don’t try to duplicate it.
  • YOU’RE the one in charge (it may be time to brush up yourself).   You may find a little less Netflix and more filling your mind in the evening keeps you on your toes:)
  • Ask yourself: what’s important to our family? What can we cut out of the schedule to make this as efficient and effective as possible?
  • YOU HAVE CHOICES. 
• The most important thing is CHARACTER and GOOD HABITS.
