Tips For Homeschooling During Coronavirus
HAVE A FLEXIBLE ROUTINE – Education at home is all about freedom: freedom to learn unhindered; freedom to try anything and everything in comfort and peace. Create a flexible schedule and choose the basics, then let the student’s interests direct the rest of the day—you will not only give them an education, you will give them a life. – The Old Schoolhouse
BE CONSISTENT – Find consistent 2-4 hour segments to complete the “must-do” subjects like math, language arts, and reading, and then plan the “want to do” stuff for happily investing in the rest of the day. – HSLDA
ONE ON ONE TIME – If you have multiple children at home, make sure to spend one-on-one time with each child. It also helps cut down on sibling squabbles when each child knows they’ll have time that’s just about them. – Modern Parents Messy Kids
LET YOUR CHILDREN CHOOSE SUBJECTS – Try to focus their studies around topics they are interested in; and be flexible, letting your teen experiment with the environment, time, and type of curriculum, to find out how they work best. – Annie and Everything
INCORPORATE MORE SUBJECTS FROM 1 SUBJECT – Study the Civil War (or any subject) and incorporate history, science, writing, reading, spelling, memorization, art, music, etc. – Catholic Homeschooling Resources
LEARN TOGETHER – Play word games, act out historical dramas, ‘tour’ online museums, or watch documentaries. These are all enjoyable (as well as educational) ways to pass the time together. – Home School Digest
TAKE NATURE STUDY OUTSIDE – Take the classroom outside. Online recreational activities that take the kids (and the parents) outside the home are great opportunities for learning. Our local park system offers scavenger hunts that can be used in any park or backyard. The Nature Conservancy also has a fun and educational nature scavenger hunt. – Oakland County Moms
RECIPES (AND MATH) – Have your kids help with dinner and teach them math while using recipes such as – the recipe calls for 1/2 cup for 2 servings, what is needed for 6 servings? – Homeschool Central
