Taking School with You when You Travel

As this year comes to a close, I always anticipate the break we’ll have from school for a few weeks.  We spend the first few weeks of the month preparing for holidays with fun, games, crafts, and excitement.  We spend the last few weeks of the month spending as much time as possible with extended family.  School work, however, must still be completed.

Fortunately, by using an online curriculum, we can take school with us when we travel.  We can pack up and head out of town for a few weeks knowing that we can still stay on track with school.  We definitely utilize a lighter schedule, but by continuing on with some lessons while we travel, we can stay on schedule.  The kids don’t always appreciate this facet of our homeschool, but they do enjoy finishing up the school year by Memorial Day.
