Homeschooling

I have decided to home school my daughter next year. Right now, she’s in a school that’s really great and we like it, so she’s going to continue until we move. But once we move later this year homeschooling will begin. So far I am enjoying planning our homeschool year. I am adding books to my Amazon cart that I think will be great for teaching her.

So far I know we are going to do a marine science unit and go to the aquarium for the field trip. I already have the books I need. We will do a chemistry unit as well.

In general, here are the subjects I plan to teach so far.

-English

-math

-history

-science

-Spanish

-PE

-Art

-music appreciation

-geography

That is just to start. I told my daughter today that we will be homeschooling next year, and she got so excited that she started hugging me and saying thank you. I am adding subjects and units as I research. I’m looking forward to spending more time with my daughter. It will be nice to be with her all day vs sending her away to school 8 hours a day. Parents should be the principal influence on their children, and that is hard to do when you send them to school every day.

I’m hoping to get her involved in a co-op as well for some social activity. Hopefully she’ll have neighborhood friends too.
