The World Is Your Classroom
Sometimes it helps to work through a systematic approach to math or phonics. And sometimes, that’s the exact right approach for this season of homeschool.
However…
I want to remind you that the genius of homeschooling is that the WORLD is your classroom. The conversations you have along the way, the activities you pursue out in the world matter and count!
Your kids are going to forget so much that you teach them. They won’t remember all of the activities you painstakingly created.
What they will remember is that the entire world is available to them. They’ll learn that if something interests them, they can go find out what it is and what it means.
They will see the world as wonderful to know. They won’t see learning as something you only do in a building.
Need some ideas?
If it feels scary to let go of “kitchen table” type learning, here are a few hacks:
- Take that workbook outside and sit on a blanket.
- Go to a coffee shop or library to finish the math book.
- Drill the times tables on a hike.
- Practice spelling words while jumping on a trampoline.
- Skip count while tossing a frisbee.
