Our
Best
Hands-On
Ideas
for
Your
Homeschool
Curriculum
Do
you
use
worksheets
as
part
of
your
homeschool
curriculum?
Should
you?
Unquestionably,
worksheets
are
often
overused
in
the
classroom,
so
homeschooling
parents
may
feel
inclined
to
avoid
using
them.
However,
with
all
of
their
drawbacks,
worksheets
can
be of
value
in
your
homeschool
curriculum
as
part
of the
educational
process.
The
trick
is to
determine
which
types
of
worksheets
to
use
and
when
to
use
them.
We
have
found
and
can
recommend
many
sources
for
free
high-quality
homeschooling
worksheets
that
are
readily
available
to
you
on
the
Internet.

Nature
Study:
Create
Your
Own
Field
Guides!
Almost
all
children
at
some
point
in
time
decide
to
learn
everything
they
can
about
a
subject
that
greatly
interests
them.
How
many
little
boys
are
self-acclaimed
"experts"
about
dinosaurs
by
the
age
of
six?
This
enthusiasm
for
acquiring
"expert"
knowledge
in a
given
area
or
field
can
be a
basis
for
many
wonderful,
in-depth
homeschool
projects.

High
School
Homeschooling:
Now
What???
Home
schooling
your
senior
high
school
student
can
be a
challenge,
taxing
all
of
your
parenting
skills.
The
truth
is,
some
high
schoolers
are
self-motivated,
working
well
alone
or
with
resource
teachers;
but
others
are
not
so
independent.
Can
homeschooling
still
work
with
teenagers?
Can
home
learning
continue
to
benefit
high
school
age
kids?

some
great
ideas

homeschool
your
high
school
students,

Where
do
your
children
go to
learn
each
day?
What
is
their
classroom
like?
Do
they
have
school
desks
and
chairs
just
like
a
regular
classroom,
or do
they
spread
out
around
the
kitchen
table?
Do
you
have
a
special
room
designated
as
the
homeschool
classroom?
Or do
each
of
your
children
have
their
own
private
“space”
for
quiet
study?
Whatever
your
arrangement,
remember
that
as
homeschoolers,
you
and
your
children
are
never
confined
to a
“classroom.”
The
world
is
your
classroom.
Remember
that
homeschoolers
have
class...everywhere!
Allow
exploration
to be
a
natural
and
spontaneous
element
of
your
homeschool
program.
Of
course,
“googling”
any
topic
will
produce
a
wealth
of
information
on
the
Internet.
Regular
visits
to the
library
will
help
your
children
develop
research
skills
as
well
as
exposing
them
to an
unlimited
source
of
wonderful
books.
Explore
your
neighborhood
and
community.
Find
out
about
different
jobs
and
what
makes
your
community
work.
Other
ways
to
explore
your
world
might
be:
-
Build and label a collection
-
Write letters to relatives and pen pals
-
Read about science, ask questions, conduct experiments
-
Learn to read and follow recipes
-
Learn about musical instruments, learn to play one or more
-
Make a family / personal scrapbook
-
Plan and conduct a home safety check
-
Learn to read maps and atlases, navigate family trips
-
Create a vegetable and/or flower garden
-
Do the laundry, learn to iron and take care of your clothing
-
Learn simple auto maintenance and repairs
-
Learn to use the encyclopedia for research and interest
-
Sing in a choir or chorus
-
Develop speaking skills, learn to talk in front of a group
-
Know what to do in an emergency, learn first aid
-
Study great poetry, write a poem
-
Read the newspaper, learn about current events
-
Learn about a great person in history
-
Find ways to serve others, volunteer in the community
-
Start and maintain a savings or a CD account
-
Get proper rest, nutrition, and exercise for good health
-
And on and on and on…
Children
can
explore
their
world
in
all
sorts
of
ways.
Be
open
and
creative.
Don't
confine
your
classroom
to
the
four
walls
of
your
home.
Get
out
and
explore!
