Bringing People Together

Homeschool Around the World

People from all walks of life and places can come together to learn different ways of educating. I would like to share the love and laughter of teaching through three different workbooks that we use.

The first one is a "Dear God" journal. They can write about what they want to God whether it be a feeling, question, story, verse, or prayer. The second workbook is called a "Science in the Field" journal. We take this with us on field trips. They draw a picture of whatever subject we are studying and then write their observations along with any questions they would like answered. This is a very visual learning technique, they have to write but are having the actual experience at the same time. The art part is the drive for the younger children.

The last workbook is a personal dictionary. It is a 1/2 inch, 3 ring binder that has pages of old and new vocabulary words that we may use on a field trip. We make a point to circle a few words, look up the meaning, and use the word at some point during our outing that relates to our activity. There you have it, three new and refreshing ideas to inspire your students into an enriching experience !
