We are two weeks in to our first experience with home schooling.
It has been quite the learning experience for me. I have had to adjust so many different things that I do during the day. I have a hard time with change. I like to keep things in order and keep the chaos at bay. That has been the hardest part for me when transitioning to home school. I love many parts of home school and adjusting my schedule will get easier with time.
Last week we spent the whole week at home just doing work. I am trying to find balance between outings and staying at home. The boys really want to go out and do a lot of field trips but I am torn between teaching them from the book and learning outside of the classroom. I am scared that if I don't teach them from the "book" they wont learn anything.
I am trying to find a balance between teaching piano and teaching my boys. This is hard. I have changed my rates and asked my students to be respectful of my time and I will be respectful of their musical education. I am hoping, moving forward, this balance will become easier.
Here is a snipit of what our last two weeks have looked like at home.
