Are you a parent discovering the benefits of homeschooling your children this school year? If so, you’re also probably feeling a little confused or overwhelmed. I’m going to share with you a couple simple curriculum choices I’ve made for my son and maybe it will help you find a start as well!
Curriculum Choices
When thinking about homeschooling, I did A LOT of research. I still do. There are many decisions to make and lots of self doubt to go along with them. Curriculum choices are ENDLESS. Most parents end up mixing and matching things they like from different curriculums. When I was researching, I knew I wanted a Biblical base of education, however I do mix and match products as well to give my son variety.
Books that are Fun AND Educational
Another great option I was introduced to recently are Usborne books. There is a large variety of books to choose from for every age and every topic. I am really excited about the Lift the Flap books. They are fun for Marc to learn in a different format from a traditional workbook, and he’s always loved flap books. I love the Lift the Flap General Knowledge book. If I can’t buy them all, I love that there’s a little bit of everything in this one book.
Just remember, the great thing about homeschooling is that you can do it however you want and wherever you want. We spent most of our learning last year on the living room couches or on our porch. This year, with big brother remote learning, I decided to make a change. After some paint and a not-so-quick trip to Michael’s, my office is now school ready! Wherever you choose to homeschool, I strongly suggest looking into MasterBooks and Usborne to find your learning treasures!
