My kids are in kindergarten and third grade so there isn’t much risk in pulling them out. If they were older it would be different. I want them to love to learn and I think all day virtual school will give them a bad taste for school! If you decided to homeschool and have any questions reach out. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m looking forward to it!

If you use Facebook look for a local homeschool group in your state or county. I found a great resource, after writing this post, with all sorts of details that are specific to my area. It might help you make the decision.

Thank you Lois. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach my children during this crazy year. I think my kids will really enjoy it, but only time will tell.

Thanks for the book list suggestion. I’ll check it out. In January I was searching for jobs and looking for ways to return to the working world. Now I’m looking into homeschooling. It’s definitely been a strange year!

Preschool definitely helped my children create a small world without me. I don’t think children need to go to preschool, but it did help my kids blossom.

The Read Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease has an outstanding list of fun, age appropriate books in the back. I found all of my kids favorite books in that list!

I was debating enrolling my youngest in preschool; you just helped me solidify that decision. He hates being away from me but I think he really needs the experience
