We are on week 10 of our school year and we just wrapped up our United States Geography studies for the year. We started our US Geography homeschool unit early during our summer term, with the benefit that we will wrap up early this year.
For our first term, we did a Native American Unit Study. We started listening to The First Americans, volume 1 of A History of US by Joy Hakim. I had looked at this series before for our studies this year, but I get overwhelmed at doing the reading. When I found the audiobook on Scribd it was an easy decision to use this series.
Math is a hard subject because it’s so important and there are so many options. We have tried a few different programs over the years and have a few favorites. We also have one student with a learning disability in math which affects which programs suit their learning. There are times when each of my students is using a different program for math, because different ones suit their individual needs and strengths.
s we start our 7th year of homeschooling, our theme will be Early American History as we begin 2nd, 5th and 6th grades. We did school year-round this year, so our fall subjects will begin by wrapping up each of our summer units.
Many families are looking at other options for their family, including homeschooling for the first time. During the crisis schooling period, families discovered the classroom learning to be less than a parent’s ideal.
