How Do you Homeschool on Little or No Sleep?
How do you homeschool on little or no sleep?
I was up until past 1am last night prepping for a vendor event at our co op today. Printer issues. Ugh.
Thankfully I had prepped well on Sunday. But other things that helped:
✅no math lesson needed to be taught, just corrections from the review and he need to take a test
✅we completed the Key Word Outlines for his paper due Friday. So all he needs to do write his rough draft over the next couple days
✅Fix It Grammar is always on the short side
✅history read aloud is the most “teacher led” work I needed to do today
Now to muster the energy for our homeschool hike!
