This is exactly where we are right now. Our basics vary a little depending on the child, but it’s giving me time to breathe and heal.

In reply to Terri Presser. The basics are a great place to start. As everyone gets back into the swing of school, you can add more. :-)

Thanks for this. In Australia the school holidays start mid December and continue until the end of January. I always struggle to keep our schooling going but I am trying this year to do the basics like you suggest, reading, writing and maths. Thanks for linking up at Good Morning Mondays. Blessings

In reply to Amy. It's hard to learn to be flexible, but sometimes life turns chaotic. :-)

Thanks for sharing your wisdom! I am learning to be flexible and OK with times of not getting as much done as I wish. =)

In reply to Bekki@a better way to homeschool. We've had many times of back to the basics, and you're right, Bekki! Amazingly, the kids' education never suffered. In fact, they often made great strides in the basic skills. :-)

As a veteran homeschool mom of over 16 years, I can attest that this is excellent advice! While some seasons in school are fruitful and overly productive, some are not. Life happens and sometimes school suffers in the traditional sense. The good news is that even though I have had my fair share of “back to the basics” seasons, my kids overall education never suffered in the long run!

In reply to Kalista. Sometimes we do need a down week or two to catch our breath! Hope things even out for you, Kalista. :-)

Yes! I need to be reminded of this lately. I’m feeling overwhelmed and then I get down on myself when we don’t get it all done. Thank you for posting this! I think we are going to ease up this week so we can all catch our breath! 🙂

Fabulous tips! We’re really working on writing and penmanship right now. A journal really helps!

Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).

Wishing you a lovely week.
