GLPers homeschooling Teach Your Children Well
Starting this thread for all the parents with kids who will be homeschooling over the next few weeks, months, years...who knows?

My intent here is to create a thread you can refer back to like Pooka’s practical prepping even if poor.

Hopefully you have been following your child’s progress in school and have some idea of what they have been learning in school: what they have been bringing home for homework is a good start.

First take a look at the school’s website and the district where you live: there should be links to websites that you can access for information as to expectations for each grade level and links to your state’s standards and objectives in each subject area.


Google STEM education and look for stuff by age of child,

For Goodness sake, teach your child cursive handwriting and spelling, since most schools won’t, there are a few handwriting generators for free online, I.e. you type what you want and it makes a page to print and practice (will look for link)

There are also websites with reading selections at different grade levels for free. I will come back and post.

Get a keyboard like a piano or a guitar or other instrument and print out some music to go with it.

Make your child read aloud to you (especially 8 yrs or younger) every day using text they can read (not too hard). Cannot over stress how important it is for you to read to them a lot. Find classics like Charlotte’s Web; Jean Fritz wrote a lot of good patriotic books for like 3rd grade.
Older students read Johnny Tremain (historical fiction of Revolutionary War every patriot should read—adults too).

I will post more suggestions and encourage other parents and/or teachers to add to this.
