I’ve been participating in Back to Homeschool Week so I thought I would share an idea I will be using for school this year. It is not an exclusive idea though, so keep reading even if you are not a homeschooler!
I set up a blog just for my kids to read. I put all of their favorite game links in the blogroll, plus lots of educational sites that I want them to explore. They will have computer time each afternoon and I have assigned different subjects for each day. After they choose a site to explore, they will have to leave me a comment telling me what they learned and any questions they might have. (sneaking in writing practice where they least expect it, Ha Ha Ha) They can also let me know of any projects they would like to do or subjects they would like to know more about. I will be posting sites that go along with our current studies, or just a little note to say Hi, I Love You.
I will be sharing Tons of FANTASTIC educational links like these in the next few weeks, so bookmark me & check back. They are great for homeschoolers or for homework helpers. I can’t share my kids’ blog with you because it is private, but I will share their assignments:
Monday – Math & Geography
Tuesday – Science & Animals/Bugs
Wednesday – Reading & Bible
Thursday – Health & History
Friday – Music & Art
Run on over to Rocks In My Dryer for some really great tips!
This is a GREAT idea. My almost 3-year old is even starting to enjoy the computer. I might have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Love this idea… I’m going to try it out. I’m also going to check out the Back to Homeschool week after I’m done going thru WFMWs.
Thanks!
Great idea! I’m going to share this idea with some of my friends whose kids are a bit older. They’ll love it!
I love this idea! I am going to surprise the boys! Your a genius!
Great idea!!!
This is a great idea for a safe computer time for kids. Thanks for sharing it!
As a homeschool mom to five girls, I love this idea! My two teenaged girls want their own blog, and since I am quite new to blogging myself, we haven’t done that yet. I may try your idea and let them in on the process. Maybe it will be motivation for them to be able to have their own blog.
