Hello dear Heathershenhouse Ya know what I'd be doing if I had kids at home now during this pandemic??? I'd be "homeschooling" them in a totally different way: - We'd be googling art museums and having painting challenges; like choose one famous painting and paint your version of it.
- We'd be writing rap songs and performing them with the karaoke machine and disco ball. (Yes, I had those.)
- We'd be learning about exotic cultures and cooking a meal together that represented that culture!
- We'd be learning about different religions and building shrines or deities out of paper mache'.
- We'd be building a tree swing in the back yard and jumping off of branches and swinging as high as we could.
- We'd be building models of boats, cars, or buildings using cardboard, tape, glue, toothpicks and other household items.
- We'd be doing science projects with items found under the kitchen sink or in the yard.
- We'd be writing letters and making cards for shut-ins and people in the hospital.
- We'd be making scarves or hats for the oncology department at the local hospital.
- We'd be learning new art techniques from YouTube videos.
- ........ just to name a few! lol.
These are the types of things that I actually did with my kiddos on the regular! We called it "homeschooling" even though they went to regular school too and it's where they learned some of their most valuable lessons... and it was FUN! ( Kids learn better when it's fun! ) Academics are important to a point.... but don't stress it. Your kids won't fall so far behind that they can't catch up AND all the other kids are in the same boat. So have some fun... do at home lessons that are fun for you and them. Learn about cultures, video games, art, music, whatever they are passionate about! Listen- people are making HUGE bucks as YouTube gamers, and Manga illustrators, and pranksters..... stuff that we would have NEVER thought of, been able to do, or believed was possible! So let the kids lead the learning and discover a whole new world! Let me know your thoughts on this subject..... hit reply to this email or message me on Facebook!
