Technology is not going away, and our kids need to be ready to use it as adults. Online classes can be a great way to help them learn the technology and also lighten the load on you as the homeschool teacher. The Skrafty community began as a group of moderated Minecraft servers for homeschoolers, and now offers a full range of online classes.
As we added a child with challenges and eventually another brother, our routine changed. Now our school looks like a one room school house where as many subjects as possible are taught to everyone at the same time.
We know what it’s like to be in the trenches as a homeschool Mom. Sometimes you need a little encouragement or a few fun tricks from knowledgeable homeschool parents who have real experience balancing school & family with cooking, cleaning & chauffeuring, or even working outside the home.
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.
Homeschooling is also a lifestyle, so for us, it’s important to find ways to include our homeschool Dad in our learning, even if he is not able to be in our classroom during our morning school time. We have found ways to use Dad’s strengths to help keep the house running smoothly and to share the teaching load.
