One of the great parts about homeschooling is that you don’t really have to worry about snow days. Everyone loves snow days, but they can really interrupt the flow of your curriculum. That said, snow days can provide a really important opportunity to add ‘balance’ to your child’s life. Especially, so for high school students who are working really hard.

That said, you may not want to interrupt your curriculum.  I found what works best is a compromise.  Don’t think that your child won’t know that the public school kids are out for the day.  What I learned worked best was offering the student the morning off.  Sleep, play games, read, do whatever.  During that time I took 30 minutes to 1 hour to come up with a very interactive or ‘fun’ lesson that supplemented the curriculum that we were already working on.  I didn’t simply go into the existing curriculum, but did something more hands on and interactive.
