Hi there 👋🏻
Springtime is always a struggle for me due to suffering from sinus pressure migraines 🤕
On top of that, my family and I have we decided to explore more into homeschooling/ “unschooling” our three boys.📚🐝🌿
I thought I could share with you how we plan on to unschool them. I have decided to mix a few different style curriculums to fit our families needs with educating them.
We will be basing our ciriculum lessons around the therories taught by Montessori, Charlotte mason, and unschooling methods of learning. 📖🧠🌿
Montessori theory is based on observing a child and focus on where they are developmentally and academically instead of grouping them by age. Child- lead learning theory where they choose what they want to learn with hands on lessons/activities.
Charlotte mason theory is to encourage kids to develop a love for reading on their own. The thought is, if a child loves reading to learn, they will choose their own books to explore new ideas.
Unschooling is basically taking any idea of traditional schooling and rewiring your brain on what you think “school” is. Your classroom can be anywhere you’d like it to be. Your lessons and work can be decided together as a family. They can learn everyday life skills and responsibilities while following state guidelines for all subjects taught in school settings.
The world is your classroom, explore it and utilize the flexibility of being able to make any lesson a fun real life experience.
All kids learn by doing and most public settings can take these benefits skills with structured lessons inside 8 hours a day. I am certainly not here to judge anyone’s choices on how they choose to educate their child. I’d just like to share our journey and how we plan for our kids to learn.
I’m both excited and nervous for this new chapter!
Within the next few weeks I will be posting bins we create as well as what we’ve been learning and how we do it.
If you’re ever interested in anything we do on anything seen, feel free to message me and I’d be happy to assist!
Stay dry today and have a great rest of your weekend! 🌧️
