Homeschool Reflection Questions
Have you finished your homeschool year? If you did, no doubt, this one ended more dramatically than any other one, right? Whew! What a year!
I usually take some time to reflect how the year went for our family. I’m always curious to see what the kids think now that the year is over.
A number of years ago, I made a questionnaire for the kids to pick out some of their best memories, favorite projects, and things like that. I also am curious to see if they have thoughts about things they want to change for next year or something they’re really excited to learn.
Student Questionnaire: Here’s what I give to the kids to fill out and answer. I’m sharing this as a pdf so you can download it and print it out. Since every family is different, you may just want to use this as a start and include your own questions.

Parent Reflection Questions:
At the same time there are some end-of-year things that I need to think about as well. Not only is it time to reflect on some of the things that went well (or didn’t), but it’s also time to take stock of what we/I need to do to get ready for next year. I’ll jot down supplies we need, things I need to file, sort through, reorganize and thoughts I have about the units we’ll do when we start back up again and so forth while it’s fresh on my mind.
Every family is different, so you may or may not find this helpful depending on your homeschool style. I thought I would share for anyone interested.
Other questions are for brainstorming activity ideas, projects I’d like to add in, field trips that I want to do, but haven’t gotten to and things like that.

It might provide a starting point for those of you just starting your homeschool journey and may give you an idea or two if you’ve been at this homeschool thing for a while!
