When you think about homeschooling realize that;
- Homeschooling allows our kids to initiate
- It doesn’t have to be in the curriculum
- They can have spunk, moxie, fortitude, gumption
- They don’t have to seek compliance
Homeschooling allows our kids to initiate
By allowing our kids to initiate you might find that you cover topics and subjects not in your curriculum program for the year.
Don’t be afraid to move off topic, because if there is an interest you should go with it you never know what you might learn.
It’s a great idea to have a plan, or scope and sequence, an outline for the year covering all core curricula, each subject: math, science, social studies, and language arts.
For example, if your student is studying life cycles and you watch caterpillars change to butterflies and your student is fascinated with the pollination process, so go with it and read more do some additional research.
Find out what other species pollinates, and just keep going if there is further interest.
You don’t have to stop at the end of the chapter.
It doesn’t have to be in the curriculum; visit a butterfly garden, watch a bee colony, even try making something with fresh honey! SWEET!!!
They can have: Spunk, Moxie, Fortitude, Gumption
- Does your son know the name of every dinosaur?

- Can you even pronounce their names?

They don’t have to seek compliance
You don’t have to seek compliance, you can be flexible. REMEMBER Because you are the teacher, you can be flexible in your homeschool schedule. You know your child, so focus on topics of discussion that he or she shows interest in, each of us is different, find the right niche for your student and they will develop a love for learning.
Enjoy your homeschool endeavor.
