The closer I get to launching my kids into the world as adults the more I am motivated to make sure life skills for teens is a part of our homeschool in an intentional way. With Outside the Box kids learning can happen at a different pace than their peers, but eventually they need all the same skills. We make teaching in the moment a priority and include them in discussions when we can.
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.
I’ve got three ways you can teach art in homeschool even without being an artist yourself. There is more to art besides doing it, which helps a lot!
I am scheduling BrainPOP Homeschool assignments and activities to match the units and topics we are already covering in our other curriculums this year. Instead of searching the internet for activities to add, I can find everything I need in one easy place, which keeps it simple for both me and my students.
One benefit of homeschooling is that the learning never has to stop, and at our house it rarely does. But it does change when warmer weather arrives.
