Homeschooling During A Move? Yes You Can!

Think it’s impossible to homeschool during a move?

It’s a daunting task, but it can be done! 

Relax Expectations During A Move

It’s perfectly okay to have an amended schedule for a few weeks.  We moved at the end of September and managed to get in a good six weeks of school week before we took a break for our actual move.  

In August I posted our curriculum plans for the 2013-2014 school year.  However, I quickly realized that I was setting both myself and my children up for failure and frustration.  Even though I was eager to begin our new curriculum, I made the right decision to scale back our plans until we were settled in our new home.

We decided to just focus on our core work and then add in a unit study on the state of Florida.  Our temporary schedule was good.  It was enough.  The kids were still getting math, reading, religion as well as learning about our new state.

The other benefit was that I could get all of our school books and other supplies packed away before the last minute.  I kept the items that we were working with in a milk crate.
