As the school year is slowly winding down, the monotony of sitting around the table is getting old.
Homeschooling Tips
Spring is the perfect time to introduce nature study and hikes to your homeschool routine.
Check out books about birds, deer, plants, and trees.
Head outside on long leisurely walks to see how many signs of spring you’re free to find.
Look for deer tracks, budding leaves, insects, and nests hiding in the trees.
Dont forget to bring a camera, colored pencils, and a journal.
Take pictures of flying geese on your walk.
Stop for a few minutes to take notes or sketch a flower into the journal.
Enjoy spring and nature study with your kids outside.
Instead of reading inside the house, read at a park instead.
Curl up together on the blanket with your book.
Sip some lemonade, and nibble the cookies.
Read for an hour or two while soaking up the sun.
Dont forget to plan extra time to let the kids run and play after theyve read.
Grab chalk and head outside.
Let the kids draw scenes from literature on the sidewalk.
Create portraits of each other or simply draw flowers and animals theyve seen lately on the nature walk.
When the kids are tired of drawing, try doing math on the sidewalk.
Write out math problems on the stairs.
Try grammar exercises on the driveway.
Draw a hopscotch and drill math facts.
Use chalk and cement outside instead of pen and paper inside.
Everyone will enjoy the fresh air outside in the sun.
Theres no reason you have to be trapped inside on sunny spring days.
Take your homeschool outside and enjoy the warmth of spring.
