BUSY TIME FOR LITTLE HOMESCHOOLERS...

Here is an idea to keep little homeschoolers busy.

I read this on another homeschooling mom's blog...


Activity Boxes:

Tracing Box
Paper, things to trace, outline of shapes.

Stamping Box
Stamps, paper, stamp pads, cards, bookmarks.

Book Makers
Papers stapled for books, shape cover outlines, story starters, magazines, pictures.

Color Books
Colored paper, magazines, pictures. (Cut out pictures and glue them to correct color page)

Playdoh
Playdoh, rolling pins, cookie cutters, plastic knives.

Nature Box
Leaves, rocks, sticks, magnifing glass, notebook to draw things.

Also make activity areas like a dress up area and a kitchen toys area.

DAILY SCHEDULE

Today we began another year of homeschooling.

Brisan is in 5th grade, Vinze is in 2nd grade,
Daxx and Kole are in preschool,
Kazz is in 10th grade. To see more about Kazz's schooling or High School Home School click Here...

Vinze has asked to go to public school this year to see what it's all about. We decided to let him have that experience. He went for 1/2 the year and then came home. Kazz and Brise went for a year so he is excited to do what they got to do too. The only thing I don't like about it is that I have to get up early!! LOL
