Hi everyone! It is almost that time of year. Back to school! Homeschool, virtual learning, returning back to in-person learning in the classrooms, it does not matter, school is back in session!
My little guy had his first day of homeschool preschool this past Monday and it was exciting because this is our third year homeschooling him and possibly our last due to having him attend private schooling next year. Who knows, we shall see.
Anywho, I created a reel and post on my Instagram creating and celebrating my son’s first day of homeschool!
I wanted to celebrate his first day because again as I mentioned, this will possibly be our last year homeschooling and also, wanting him to get excited about learning this fall. Created this cute and vibrant photo using some materials that we will be using for schooling and sharing his new backpack, and new books about school I had purchased from Barnes and Noble.
I had received so much compliments on this photo and my reel on my Instagram, which Pottery Barn Kids will be sharing my post of this picture on their Instagram!
I wanted to share some fun ideas for you to create for your kiddo(s) to celebrate them returning to school and his or her first day of school no matter how they are learning this year.
FIRST: DO YOUR FAVORITE SUMMER ACTIVITIES ONE LAST TIME..
*Whether it is the park, going to your favorite theme parks, getting ice cream, or some fun in the sun at the pool or beach, take part in your family’s favorite summertime activities one good time before preparing for the return of school.
SECOND: TALK WITH YOUR KIDS ABOUT SCHOOL..
*For the past year or two, schools for all children has been different and challenging and this new school year is honestly going to be very different, challenging, but also exciting for the kids to see their friends return back from sumer break, Talking with them and answering any of their questions about the school year can create a healthy outlet for you and your children about whatever may come up this school year.
THIRD: MAKE SCHOOL SHOPPING FUN!..
*Evey child and parent loves school supply shopping! Shopping for the latest and cool school supplies and clothes is always a fun activity to do as a family, so make that day a day of fun and seeing the excitement of your kid’s faces when they choose which shirt to wear on their first day or which color backpack they would like this school year.
FOURTH: DO A FUN BACK TO SCHOOL PHOTOSHOOT..
*Start your kid’s first day of school off with some good ol’ fun! Create a mini and creative photoshoot with your kids celebrating their return back to school! The “First Day of Homeschool” flag was purchased from a small business on Etsy!
FIFTH: MAKE IT A FUN SCHOOL YEAR!..
Though the school year will be different, encourage your children to be positive about the school year. Create positive affirmations for your kids to speak positivity before going to school to start his or her day great. Ask them about how their school day was at the end of the day, become engaging with their schoolwork, schooldays, and possible school activities, to make this school year as fun and somewhat normal for your kiddos.
Hope you enjoy reading my helpfl tips for a great school year! Here’s to another safe and great school year for all of the children, teachers, and school staff.
