I was having a hard time with the lessons and making the kids and myself frustrated so i knew it was time for a change. We decided to walk to the coffee shop a few Thursdays ago and talk about how we wanted to change up our classroom so Here is what we came up with!
As a parent, one of the most important responsibilities we have is to ensure that our children receive a quality education. However, traditional education methods may not always be the best approach for every child. That’s why I decided to change up the way my kids learn and create a new schedule that fits their needs and interests.
My new schedule involves a more holistic approach to learning, focusing on different subjects each day of the week.
Monday
- English, Grammar, Writing, Word Roots, and Spelling.
Tuesday
- Math u see
- History
Wednesday
- Earthschooling Living Lessons
- Science
- Gardening
Thursday
- Prepare Lunch Together
- Walk to the Library – Weather Permitting
- Virtual Field Trip
Friday
- Catch up Day
- Arts and Crafts
Moving away from traditional education with quizzes and tests has been a game-changer. Instead, I’ve added engaging activities, storytelling, arts, and crafts to our learning routine. This approach has helped build a better bond between me and my kids and allowed them to learn at their own pace while exploring their interests.
By incorporating the Earthschooling curriculum, we’ve seen a significant increase in our children’s motivation and excitement for learning. This curriculum incorporates academic subjects along with storytelling, arts, and crafts, making learning more fun and enjoyable for kids.
I highly recommend exploring different learning approaches and finding what works best for your kids. With a flexible and engaging learning approach, you’ll find that your kids will develop a love for learning, which will set them up for success.
