Homeschooled alum here! 🙋🏻‍♀️Planning to homeschool my little one when he’s old enough. I loved the way my mom structured our school year. She stayed home and all 4 of us kids were homeschooled through 12th grade. She structured the year by starting the last week of August and continuing the first term through the end of November-ish to Exam week, which intentionally coincided with Thanksgiving. So about 12 weeks per term. We often took nearly a month off for Christmas. With 3 terms in the school year, we finished in early June and had the rest of the summer off.

Some notes on our structure (my sons are 4, 6, and 7): M,W,F fuller morning work days. T,TH much shorter lessons. Monthly (or so) changes in routine on Thursday afternoons - outing, playdate, etc. We typically take at least a full week off at times not corresponding to public school breaks or holidays (to take a family trip or host out of town friends or family). We take a very light work schedule all June, July, and August.
