We are almost done with this school year and my son is beside himself with giddiness and completing of his lessons each day. It has been such a whirlwind, but worth every minute, second, and hour of each day that we have spent learning a new way of schooling and enjoying the flexibility of our environment. I hope that this coming year brings you joy, mental health and stability.

With gas prices as high as the ocean tides, it has been a balancing act of picking and choosing to run a quick errand to the store or just picking up groceries as well as delivery. Having gas prices as high as $6 per gallon gives me pause and seriously considering an electric or hybrid car in the not-too-distant future. ***SIGH***

I have put together a workbook for my autistic teen son, so there is no summer slide and have been doing this since he was in kindergarten (really for both of my kids), so that he can still be keeping abreast of all school subjects.

Thankfully we will still have access to his online curriculum from school and can even print it out, FREE of charge. It is definitely a blessing, so we don't have to spend any extra money for any type of camp or otherwise. Here are those books that I purchased:

Social Studies

Writing Skills

Science

My son was so excited to see them and touch them. It will be fun to try them out for this last week of school, so that he can anticipate what to expect as we near the beginning of summer break for 2022.

I hope you have an awesome summer with you and your loved ones. Stay Safe, Healthy and Have Fun!!

Opening School During a Pandemic with 3 Different Covid-19 Strains

"As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Is it SAFE for your kids to return to school during a pandemic? My hubby and I asked each other that same question a few days ago when we received an email about our school district's reopening plan. There are so many things at stake: economy, opening of businesses, children's mental and emotional wellness, parent's sanity and so much more that is happening in our world right now. To top it all off, there is a pandemic that can kill you and your immediate family ***ARGH!!!***. If you are still on the fence about what to decide, in regards to sending your children back to school, the CDC has a great checklist you can check out and make the best decision for your family. In our case, our son is autistic as some of you may already know and our concerns will obviously not be the same as your concerns when it comes to having your child return t...

Autism Moms

When I learned our son had autism it was two weeks after my mother passed away, so not only was I grieving about my mother's passing I was also grieving about what could have been with our son. Fast forward to now. So much has happened since that moment in time and it has not been easy. It has been hard as hell! But I keep on persisting and advocating and DOING because our children are our life's work poured into them, so that they can live a most productive life. Even more so, if they are a son or daughter with special needs, it gets a little bit more challenging. I don't think about when I will no longer be here on this earth because this is too scary to comprehend, so I only think about the now, the present. Every day is a gift so I celebrate the triumphs, mourn the low points and then pick myself up so I can do it again the next day. Good Morning:-). By Mom Advocate
