You don’t have to use a textbook to teach kids about landforms and geography in the United States. Just start right where you are homeschooling outside. We don’t have mountains, or glaciers, or massive waterfalls nearby, but we do have some pretty neat stuff.
Before I homeschooled my kids, I spent over a decade working as a teacher in traditional schools. I thought that this experience would be great preparation for homeschooling my kids, and in some ways it is. But in other ways, I think that my experience in traditional schools makes it harder to homeschool my kids.
Homeschooling an only child is a unique journey, but one that we wouldn’t trade for the world! We love our little family of three and the freedom and joy that homeschooling has given us.
We have spent the last few years of middle school homeschool science doing topical studies and I want to make sure we covered everything so I was looking for a general homeschool science curriculum for our 8th grade homeschool science this year.
This year one of my middle schoolers is using BookShark Virtual Level F Eastern Hemisphere.
We will be taking a look at life on the other side of the world. Unlike most other BookShark levels, Level F is not a chronological study, but is more of a unit study as we travel around the Eastern Hemisphere, exploring countries and cultures very different than our own, such as Japan and China.
