Your space is organized — what is the next step in
wrapping up the homeschooling year? Time to think about next year’s
curriculum and calendar! Most homeschoolers order their curriculum in
the summer and the sooner you get started the less chance you have of
experiencing issues with out-of-stock items. Some homeschool conventions
are in early summer, so make plans to attend if you want to get a hands-on feel
for what is available. Otherwise, get online and get your orders placed
or go to your local teacher’s store if you are purchasing curriculum from
there.
Now take out your calendar and begin looking at next
year’s dates. Children like to know what is on the agenda, so if you can
plan your family vacations and out-of-school dates now, the kids can start
being mentally prepared for the next year’s events. Don’t forget to mark
down sport and music lessons or any other special affairs that you know your
homeschool will be involved in. Now is also a good time to mark
accountability reminders for yourself – such as filing a Homeschool
Affidavit if that is required where you live, signing up for Homeschool Legal
Defense Association, checking out a new charter school or completing paperwork
for online schools or classes.
Once you’ve wrapped up the homeschooling year, you can
look forward to a fun-filled relaxing summer knowing that you will be ready for
school in the fall!
