Recent national events and our American History studies have led us to have many discussions about race, segregation and slavery with our kids. We hadn’t started teaching our kids about racism much because I wanted them to have the historical context for the complexities around race in America.
I was excited to have the opportunity to receive an Ultimate PreK-12 Annual Membership to SchoolhouseTeachers.com because I have considered it before when choosing curriculum for our family. Even without a membership you can browse the online classes they offer to see if it’s a good fit for you. I was curious to try it because I like to pick and choose different materials throughout the year, and this has lesson plans and materials already put together for each class making my planning easier.
Today I am sharing The Lord’s Prayer Copywork pages, a resource I created to help our kids learn the Lord’s Prayer during this past year.
But don’t underestimate the value of being flexible and being willing to throw it out and try something completely different. Unlike a traditional school your curriculum, choices only have to be a good fit for your family, and not other people. Each family is different. What your best friend loves may not work for your family, and that doesn’t make you a bad homeschooler!
It’s our 7th year of homeschooling, and each and every year looks a little different as we have a different mix of grades and interests. This year some of the big things in our school routine is a 1 day a week co-op for my oldest and virtual enrichment classes for the youngest and adding chores to our daily checklists.
