As the year comes to a close, December is the perfect time for homeschool families to reflect and plan.
Looking back helps you celebrate successes, recognize challenges, and prepare for a strong start in the New Year. Begin by reviewing your child’s progress. What subjects did they enjoy the most? Where did they struggle? Taking time to notice these patterns can help guide your curriculum choices and strategies moving forward. Celebrate milestones. Whether it’s finishing a unit, mastering a new skill, or building stronger study habits, acknowledge the hard work that went into learning this year. Next, set fresh goals for the New Year. These might include reading a certain number of books, improving math scores, or simply building confidence and independence. Make goals specific, realistic, and encouraging.
Homeschooling isn’t just about academics
—it’s about growth, family, and preparing children for life. Use December as a time to pause, give thanks, and plan for an even brighter year ahead with Global Student Network.
