School Curriculum: We’ll start by 9am each morning going through
the school curriculum. I’m thinking our
first year we will go with A Beka which is a curriculum that private schools and homeschool groups use. I can get a whole kit for each grade that has
the parent and teacher workbooks. It is
laid out for a 180 day school year with detailed plans for each day. They would get to do a wide variety of
subjects (not just reading and math like they do now)…Reading, writing,
spelling, math, Bible, science/health/manners, history, geography. When the weather is nice we can go do our
school work at the beach or at a park one day during the week (and invite some
friends to join us).
Reading Time: We’ll spend at least 45 minutes each day
reading. Some will be on our own and
some will be me reading to Jake. This is
in addition to the reading curriculum we will be going through.
Co-Ops: We could be part of Mel’s co-op the first
year while we get the hang of things.
They meet every Tuesday and do scheduled programs together (e.g. science
unit, history unit, etc) as well as field trips. We could decide to move to a different co-op
for the next school year if we want something different. We’ll also be part of the general MandarinChristian (Christ’s Church) homeschool group.
Their co-op has 200 kids and is closed for this year, but we can be part
of their general homeschool group that has various activities, programs, field
trips we can be part of this year.
Homeschool
Programs: There are a lot of
dedicated homeschool programs we can participate in such as:
·
Zoo – the zoo has a once a month program aboutanimals for homeschoolers
·
MOSH – once a month they have a science program
just for homeschoolers
·
Art/Cummer – there are art programs and
activities at the Cummer
·
PE – there are lots of different PE groups and
sports programs for homeschool
·
Theater – there are different improve classes
for homeschool
·
Plus lots more:
art, music, cooking, languages, etc. – here is just one listing of some
of them and here is another
Field Trips: We could do field trips with Mel’s co-op and
the Christ’s Church co-op. They go a
variety of places…some just for fun, and some with educational programs built
around them.
Mission days: We’ll have mission days once a week or every
other week. We can volunteer with
various organizations or pick one that we go to every time. I’m thinking we can help assemble or
distribute grocery bags or something like that.
Once we meet more families, we can even do some of the mission days with
them or they may already be some established groups that go.
Cooking Days: One day a week we’ll have the kids go through
a recipe book and pick something to make (we could even look into some kids
cooking classes). We’ll go to the store
and they can pick out all the ingredients and make dinner. Maybe we could eventually have a garden and
we can use items from our garden…maybe something like this.
