Homeschool Rhythms: Group Work

Outside-the-Box Kids

27 Aug

So far in this “Homeschool Rhythms” series we’ve talked about morning time, narration, and getting ready. Today let’s talk about group work!

When you ask a seasoned homeschooler about structuring the day, you will often hear the same refrain: “combine as many subjects as you can.” Group work is the easiest way to make that happen.

Academics can generally be broken into two categories: skill-based subjects and non-skill-based subjects. Anything that is skill-based really is best taught 1-on-1 or in a very small group of kids at a similar level of skill. Some examples are math, reading, spelling, or writing.

A non-skill-based subject would be something everyone can learn together no matter how old or experienced they are. Some examples of these subjects would be bible, memory work, history, and geography. And those are the very subjects we’re going to talk about teaching today.

    obviously like your web site but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth however I’ll certainly come back again.
