Hi there -any fellow homeschoolers out there?
My kids are in grades 2,5,8,10 and we'll soon be adding two preschoolers - although I dont' do much for preschool,just a lot of reading aloud,and fun hands-on acitivities.
I'm just trying to psyche myself up for adding two new little students.
What is the best way to incorporate them? Should I take time off from my older kids' studies?? We should be getting our new kids in january.

My older kids are pretty good at working independantly. Is it better to keep their routine the same, with a little less involvement from me, so I can be freed up to give the new kids attention, or stop school altogehter for a month or two? We've been known to school through the summer to catch up ,but I'm not sure my older two would be keen on that idea!
