Your first week of homeschooling
You do not need to recreate a classroom at home. Start with a simple rhythm, a few meaningful learning moments, and room to adjust as you learn what works for your child.
Pick one focus for each core subject
For your first week, choose one reading activity, one math activity, and one hands-on science or social studies activity. A small, consistent plan is more useful than an overloaded schedule.

Try a short learning block, a movement break, independent reading, and a hands-on activity. Keep lessons brief and build in time for questions, play, and real-life learning.
