Our Homeschool Activities

Ever since we started homeschooling, I personally chose the lessons and activities for our children. Of course with the guide of our homeschool provider. We are new with this kind of set up but we are enjoying it.

For the first quarter, we spent days outdoors to let them experience nature first hand.

We also took them to a museum and art exhibits.

This way they're not always confined to the four corners of our home. 😁 It is a way of letting them see the real world. Before we shifted to homeschooling, we're already doing the above mentioned activities whenever it is school breaks. Now, we can do it whenever budget allows and my husband is on day off or on leave. No need to wait for school break. 😁

While at home, they have learned to prepare meals. Cooked what they like to eat with the available ingredients in the kitchen.

The photos below were prepared by them with a little supervision from me. I made sure they are safe while using the stove.

You will be amazed what a 13 , 11 and 9 year olds can do when they had the freedom to let their creative minds work in preparing a meal. See the results! These are just a few of their creations.

We also did gardening and still doing it. They have learned to value the plants and how it helps our environment and our physical well-being.

Of course we can't omit written activities and lessons for other subjects like Math, English, Filipino and others.

They are also learning to play musical instruments. Our eldest daughter's been playing the piano since age 7. Now the three of them are learning to play songs using the ukulele. I used to play the uke in my grade school years. Now I'm teaching my girls to play it too.

As their teacher, I am also learning and reseaching for ways on how to impart knowledge and skills to our children. I have also learn new stuff along with them.

We still have so much to learn and discover. I am grateful for the resources online and everywhere. We are nurturing our love for books, especially living books.

Our homeschooling journey is a work in progress. Are you homeschooling too? I would love to hear tips from you. ☺️

Thank you for reaching this far. Until next time!
