For now, I am home with my kiddos. I am working hard to insure they don’t fall behind during this time. Mostly, we must all pray that during this time we all stay healthy and sane!
Becoming a homeschool momma has been epic for me. Yes, I am a teacher, but it’s always been in the classroom for the last eleven years. I’ve been gathering resources that I feel will be helpful in working with my babies from home.
My first bit of resource that I’ve ventured into is Adventure Academy. I’m not so sure that I’m in love with this yet, but I feel that it’s worth a shot with the free trial. I’ve also tried ABC mouse, but didn’t have much luck with it due to my iPads being older models. They struggled to upload the app.
Spelling City is another one of those resources I am planning to try out. I used to use it when I was a regular education teacher. My kiddos could get on there and work through spelling actives with the lists that I chose.
Another thing I am working on is creating a classroom space for me and my kids. I am on the hunt for a couple of desks and even a desk for myself as I am working some from home as well as homeschooling. I absolutely love some different ones I’ve found on amazon so I’ll have to let you know what I come up with.
Being organized is a critical thing for me as well as for my kids. If I’m not organized then I feel like I never will get anything accomplished. So that’s where my desks will come into play and I’m currently getting their NTI packets in binders so I can keep up with where we stopped last.
I hope this bit of information will help all of you feel a little more sane in your upcoming days of social distancing. Take care and stay safe my friends.
