Build Homeschool Excitement with These Easy Outdoor Ideas

It’s almost time to begin again! We are getting ready to kick off another year of homeschooling, and, as usual, I’m filled with excitement and anticipation! I’ve been resting and reading all summer, getting our curriculum selected and our schedule fine-tuned. I’ve got supplies, I’ve got ideas, and I’ve got the spark ready to go.

Kids, sometimes, are a different story.

It seems that the older your children get, the less enthusiastic they are for schoolwork to begin again. Especially if they’ve always been homeschooled, the idea of staying home to learn may not hold as much novelty as it once did. Rather than the beginning of a fun, new school year, they see the end of freedom.

And sometime around middle school, or early high school at the latest, you find yourself poking, prodding, and pleading with the kids to show just a little bit of enthusiasm for the first day of school.
