Last summer, she wrote a <a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/index.php\/2018\/06\/14\/the-ultimate-summer-adventure-read-aloud-to-your-kids\/\">guest post about reading aloud during summer break<\/a>. Her advice on educating at home and resources below are amazing, helpful, reassuring and calming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, I think I just need a loose routine for educating at home &#8211; one that is flexible, but gives my 3 girls some responsibility, autonomy, creativity, comfort and fun during this weird and scary time. Plus, it allows me and my husband to get work done too. I love the resources that Stephanie provides to do just that, but I think her resources are adaptable too. I hope some of this will help you as we move into this new path together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_2260.jpg?resize=350%2C319&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2793\" width=\"350\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_2260.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_2260.jpg?resize=300%2C274&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_2260.jpg?resize=560%2C512&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_2260.jpg?resize=80%2C73&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_2260.jpg?resize=600%2C549&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thanks, Sarah, for inviting me to write about homeschooling for The Wandering Rumpus.&nbsp; There are SO many places on the internet offering help, guidance, free courses for parents looking for help during these strange days of quarentine for coronavirus.&nbsp; I\u2019m honored you thought of me to contribute my thoughts to your corner of the internet!&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is my kids\u2019 educational success contingent on this break?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, please know that a break (a few weeks, 2 months, 6 months or more!) from academic rigor in the classroom will NOT derail your child\u2019s education. For example, last year two of my kids were struggling in math.&nbsp;We took 6 months off from introducing new content and reviewed math concepts, did art projects with a math bent, solved word and story problems, and played LOTS of board games with math concepts. Six months later we went back to our math curriculum and the new math concepts clicked; we\u2019re right on track and at grade level.&nbsp;Any future success for our kids is not hinged on the next few weeks or months.  With a few resources for the time ahead, all will be well, I promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homeschool Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Years ago I stumbled upon Simple Homeschool.&nbsp; I immediately loved the \u201cthere are no educational emergencies\u201d vibe.&nbsp; Jamie Martin is offering sage advice and her post about <a href=\"https:\/\/simplehomeschool.net\/coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">the 3 hour homeschool solution<\/a> is a great place to start.
