The march toward summer is on, and traditional schoolers and homeschooling families alike are supporting and guiding their children toward as successful a completion of the school year as possible. It’s usually at this time of year when big projects must be turned in, significant assessments are undertaken, and many boxes need to be checked.
It can be an overwhelming time for parents and children alike. To lend the most support to your students as you approach the finish line, check your sleeves—there’s magic up there just waiting for you to conjure.
Nutritious and Fun Snacks
More required energy calls for better fuel. Prep in advance healthy and diverse snacks that are easy to grab and will keep everyone going when deadlines approach. Math is infinitely more fun when paired with popcorn; papers almost write themselves when a plate of fruit and cheese is at hand; protein and nutrient-rich snacks fresh from the oven make the diorama, the slide presentation, and the poster board come together with greater ease and delight.Dance Breaks
The probability of being overwhelmed increases significantly this time of year. When you see the pressure mounting too much, call for a dance break.
