Classical Homeschooling - Is it the Right Choice?

August 1

If you’ve started to look in to the options for homeschooling your children, you’ve probably already realized that there are many different educational approaches that you can take to homeschooling. One of those choices is to use the “Classical Homeschooling” model. Of all of the homeschooling methods that are available to you, this is the one that relies most heavily on the major works, which are eventually studied in public schools (and even later on in college!) In order to make a decision about whether or not classical homeschooling is right for your family, you need to know a little bit more about it.

Here is what you should know about classical homeschooling:

Playgroups

July 31

What are playgroups and why are they good for you and your kids? Well, although there are many different kinds of playgroups (from the formal which includes themes and scheduled activities to the information that just gathers together), they are all basically the same thing: a group of children and their parents who get together on a regular basis. That’s it. It doesn’t have to be anything fancier than that, just an agreement between a group that you’re all going to get together regularly so your kids can enjoy playtime together.

Physical Education Ideas

July 31

It’s no secret that kids these days aren’t getting as much exercise as they could. After all, a few decades ago kids had to get up and get out in order to be entertained (since books and the few TV shows available could only go so far). But today, our kids are more likely to sit around for entertainment via the television, video games, computers, and other indoor activities. This, of course, translates into a whole lot of unhealthy kids who simply aren’t moving as much as they ought to be. Which means that it’s important for parents to start actively thinking about how to incorporate physical education into the every day lives of their children.Moving and Learning Series:  Preschoolers & Kindergartners

Family Time - 5 Ideas for Making Time for Family

July 27
We all lead busy lives. Even those of us who try to simplify often have more multi-tasking going on than we would like to admit. We’re always only half-listening to the stories that our kids tell us while we’re simultaneously checking email, scheduling appointments, planning our next kids’ party or taking care of daily chores. Often, we barely see our spouse in passing as we hand off the kids to get a little adult alone time – even if it’s just a quick bath. It often feels like a necessary situation to getting everything taken care of that needs to be done on any given day.

But what really matters more; that the laundry all got done and folded or that you got to spend some time with the people that you love? Making time for your family is not only possible, it’s necessary. And it doesn’t take another twenty four hours in the day to manage it. It just takes a little bit of organization, a willingness to let a few things go sometimes in order to be with your family and the will to make it work.

Here are some ideas for making time for your family which you might find helpful if you’re starting to feel like you never really hear your kids and never really see your spouse:
