Just wanted to share a few things and hear what others are up to with their home educating.
Some things we are doing this term:
Bank Accounts
we are learning about money, adding and subtracting, interest, withdrawls, deposits... money talk. :) Luckily the bank is a bit of a hike from our place too so a nice walk up the hill. They also have a coin counting machine which is great fun!
This is ongoing.
Grammar Once a Week
I have these books for the girls and am loving them. A little bit of work, once a week... not so hard to get done (for me and for them!) Trying to encourage some self management with keeping up with the weeks for my 8 y/o.
Comprehension Once a Week
Similar book to above... loving it also
These books are inexpensive and available for levels one through 6 (grades)
Maths Plus
simple, inexpensive books again. They are colorful and simple and meet the VELS requirements. Also in grade levels.
Library
We go to the library once a week at least sometimes more. Encouraging my eldest to use the computer there for requesting titles and searching. Kids also check out there own books on the self check out... Great fun!
Piano
Piano lesson with suzuki teacher once a week. We practice every day and listen to the CD's at bedtime. Ii LOVE the suzuki method. It really fits in with our home educating principals.
We have Penpals
This is a great way to get hand writing practice without tears. :) And the principle is, you send letters, you get letters! Works well.
We also learn a lot along the way.... but that is another post.
What are you up to with your family's learning?
