Anybody here homeschool or thinking about homeschooling because of covid?
We strongly considered it. My town is very small though. We decided to let the kids go back. Our son is starting 6th grade and its important to him to be there with his friends.

Mine is in preschool and I know he needs the social development, but I'm just so nervous about sending him. It's a fairly big school and I don't know how they're going to enforce any kind of social distancing or anything.

Have you ever homeschooled before? I have SO MANY QUESTIONS lol

I think it is unique to each situation. We are very fortunate that our town only has about 30 kids in each grade.
My kids are older and understand that they are to be careful.
I would of preferred to homeschool, but my preteen should feel his voice heard. So we discussed and said he can go back. but we agreed to switch to homeschooling at any point his dad and I become uncomfortable.

My mother homeschooled me from k-12. Every year she asked me if I wanted to go to school but I always said no, lol. So I know quite a bit about the process if you are looking for info.

YES omg. I made a thread in the social discussions forum but this is basically what I'm asking
  1. Any tips on how to find a curriculum that's cheap and/or free that is actually good? there's so many and I don't know how to choose one
  2. Any tips on keeping him focused and keeping me patient? I've tried doing flashcards and little workbooks with him. He's good for about 3 minutes, then he starts giving joke answers and trying to play, and I get SO frustrated.
  3. I'd love any resources for exactly how to homeschool. schedules, organizing, any tips like that

OK, so for the first question, that really depends on you. My mom went through the school system and got public school books for me until middle school. Back then homeschooling was considered taboo and the principal at the middle school gave her a hard time so she started choosing her own curriculum which was Bob Jones University books. I'm sure there are so many more options for curriculum's now, though.
As for staying focused, since he is in preschool I would do short days and maybe even just a short lessen at a time, then when he starts getting wild, move on to something fun for a while. Try to find fun games that are still interactive and good for learning. There are lots of free sites that have fun little learning games on them. (ABC mouse did have a free month, not sure if they still do.)
As for scheduling, since he's so young, I'd just try to get in a typical routine. Waking up at certain times, working on learning at a certain time, lunch, etc. As he gets older, if you choose to still homeschool, make sure you plan your schedules in advance. My mom always sat down and planned out all our lessens for the whole year, numbers of pages that we were going to be doing in each book every day. That way, as I got older, I could get her book and look up what we needed to do next and go on without her having to sit there with me every second. I could also get done with my work super fast some days and have the whole rest of the day to do as I pleased.
I say google free sites for preschoolers, even print some workbooks out.
