Home Schooling Supplies What To Use
Home Schooling has become such an alternative experience and although some people still find it hard to accept the fact that parents are taking responsibility for their childÂs education, there is no stopping a parent who is determined to homeschool his child.
The first thing that a first time homeschooling parent would look for is supplies. ItÂs probably one of the first things that a curious parent would ask. All you need to remember if you are looking for supplies is that the internet is very large, and most likely, you will find resources there. Search engines are especially useful too; all youÂll probably need to do is type Âhome school supplies into the search bar and voila, instant resources!
For those parents who choose a certain curriculum, almost Âreal school like in itself, or are looking for ready made curriculum based programs, you can get ready made curriculum at correspondence schools, or you can make your own.
So the next question is, where can you get ideas on what to teach? If you are homeschooling your child, chances are you donÂt want to employ the normal school type classes. Homeschooling can bring out the creativity in both the child and the parent.
As a parent, the first idea bank that you should look at would be your own experiences, how a certain object or event taught you a certain lesson while you were growing up. There is a big chance that, that certain situation or object can be found or reenacted in your own home, and who best to teach it than you?
Aside from your memory bank, you can also get ideas from several organizations dedicated to supporting home-schoolers. Camps and scouts may have materials that you can buy even if youÂre not a member. You can also make use of old publications, newspapers and magazines as Âtextbooks for your child, take his favorite story and make it into a lesson. For a greater learning experience, you can take your child to the library. The library would probably be the biggest resource for both you and your child.
Remember natural learning is accepted in home schooling, and supplies for natural learning can be found all around the house, the chair, the bath, even in various flowers and if you want you can recreate the atmosphere that childrenÂs shows create on television. Using normal items, you can teach your children math, science, english, reading, almost everything. Just focus on your childÂs interests.
BONUS : Home Schooling: The Advantages And Disadvantages
People new to the idea and concept of homeschooling often have a thousand of questions to raise. Here is some helpful information to guide you in weighing things out:
Some homeschooling advantages:
1. Allow quality time, providing individualized attention and instruction. Homeschooling parents can better understand their children; observe how kids progress, what areas they find difficult and help them out.
2. Children learn in their own pace. At homeschool, children can advance at any time, not waiting on others or if the kid is a slow learner or having difficulties in a certain subject area, she/he can remain to focus on that area without pressure that others are already moving on.
3. Parents pattern their teaching style and curriculum in accordance with the childÂs learning style, allowing him/her to successfully understand the subject matter, thus better results are achieved.
4. No peer pressure. At a homeschool, age classification is not a factor, therefore children not only associate with children their same age level, but with children of different ages and adults as well, so they can decide on their own without the influence of peers.
5. ÂHands on learningÂ. Activities which are outside the context of books are very much essential to the childÂs learning process. Trips to the park, the museum, the zoo, going fishing with mom and dad can be a great time to spend an afternoon educating your child.
Some homeschooling disadvantages:
1. For the homeschool parent, much time and effort is required for preparation of teaching materials, lessons and managing the childÂs opportunities in order to cultivate friendships and expand on the childÂs interests.
2. Parents who homeschool do not have enough time to spend for themselves when kids are constantly at home. This frequent time of being together can be at times suffocating and, therefore, can not work in certain families.
3. Homeschooled children do not have a lot of opportunities to bond and develop friendships with peers. For many families, this really is not a problem and is supplemented by taking the kids out to play in the park, attend lessons in ballet, jazz, etc. However it takes a lot of effort on the part of parents to insure that their kids have these opportunities.
Whether to homeschool or not, it all depends on you, as a parent, on how much are you willing to give your child. On top of all the learning materials, the field trips, home schooling entails a lot of love, patience and encouragement.
