More and more families continue to opt out of sending their children “back to school” in favor of taking the reins as homeschoolers. If you’re a homeschooling family about to kick off a new year, here are seven fun ways to make the start special.
Supplies Surprise
Perhaps, like many other homeschoolers, you tend to gather together at the kitchen table, in the living room around a coffee table, or at the dining room table. Wherever that central location is for your family, decorate it for a celebration the night before your first day, after the kids have gone to bed.Much like Christmas morning, they’ll awaken to a delightful surprise that may include themed plates and decor, fresh school supplies, a new book or two, or even a wrapped present, if you so desire. Include a card or note for each child that lets them know how much you’re looking forward to a fun year ahead and how blessed you feel to be able to share these moments together.
