We don't follow a set schedule with a set curriculum. We do have a typical daily routine as far as dressing, eating, cleaning, errands, etc., but our learning is spread throughout the days, weeks, months and doesn't have a particular beginning or end. We're basically learning all the time, 7 days a week, all year long. Our version of homeschooling is more of a lifestyle than a scheduled school calendar.
Some things we typically do each day include reading, exploring outdoors, researching, counting/adding/measuring, cooking, crafting, imaginative play, building, playing games/puzzles, playing music and sports activities. We take lots of field trips too. We try to just have fun exploring new things and documenting our experiences.
Here are some recent photos of our busy days...
I've often considered homeschooling, though a nearby charter school seems more likely in the near future (if we can get our son in, that is, it's very much in demand).
I'm curious though, where you got teh quote, "I homeschool because I've seen the village and I don't want it raising my children."?
I do know of what "village" it refers to, and I think that quote is the best I've seen in a while. If you know of an attribution, please let me know, thanks.
My hubby and I don't agree on much about how to raise our son, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when the other day he said we would home school our son (i dont think he actually would unless we both agreed), but my immediate reaction was 'No WAY!' and I went into reasons why. But I am curious what the reasons to do so are?- I am sure there are many good ones. I guess if I could still get him involved in sports and other activities that would allow him to socialize and build interpersonal skills, confidence etc. then I would consider it, but I think I would need to hire someone that might be more than I could handle...If we continued to live in FL i would be even more likely to do so because school systems here are not great, but are much better in New England where we plan to return.
