There’s a number of things that you need to finish handling even before the next homeschool academic session begins.
Ensure the Legal Paperwork is Done
There are different requirements for homeschooling in different states. Make sure that all the legal paperwork that needs to be filled in is done before the beginning of the academic session. Understand the requirements that you need to meet and ensure that you have organized yourself to meet them.
Set up a Day to Plan out the Year’s Schedule for Each Homeschool Student
If you have more than one kid being homeschooled, you need to be organized. This means that you need to have a week by week break up of what each of your children is supposed to be doing all through the academic session. Set aside a day each for every child and figure out their syllabus and weekly schedule for each subject. Make sure to factor in the breaks and field trips that you are going to add.
Get the Children Involved in Setting up the Homeschool Classroom
The basics of having enough number of notebooks per subject, pens, pencils, rough work papers and different types of art supplies can be left to the children. Give them a list of things that they should have ready to use once classes begin. Then have them give you a list of the things that they are falling short of on the list. This makes it easier for you to restock the material that you will need for the next academic session.
Cull out the Papers Floating Around the Homeschool Classroom
Each homeschooling year has a tendency to generate a whole bunch of papers. While you may need to keep some of them to record the progress of your children through the different grades, you can definitely take them out of the homeschool classroom and store them elsewhere. Sift through all the papers from the previous year and sort what you need to keep. Then cull the rest and destroy them. This will make it easier to find storage for the new material that is sure to be generated.
