Teach Them Thursday – Getting Organized

Getting Organized this Summer:
In your home and homeschool

Today I want you to think of one thing you want to teach your children to do. It doesn’t matter if it is an educational thing or something around the house. It could even be something you learned from your mother or grandmother. The point is to purpose to take time to teach your children today and have fun doing it. As homeschool moms, we get caught up in meeting criteria for the curriculum we use, and often in the process, we lose some of the fun of teaching our children. I truly love being with my children every day and teaching them. I am always looking for teachable moments in my day.

Set your timer for 15 minutes for the Home Assignment and 15 minutes for the School Assignment
