Real Life Homeschooling: TV Summer School

August 13, 2013 By: amyswandering4 Comments

RLH

It is the last week of summer break for us, and that means Mommy is in planning mode!

I will spend the week pouring over our curriculum choices and mapping out our year. The kids know that their lazy bone days are coming to an end, so they will spend every waking moment watching TV and playing video games.

Real Life Homeschooling is about turning the world into our classroom, right? So to make myself feel better about my kids’ melting brains, I decided to call it TV Summer School.

Subjects:

Science   Myth Busters

History   Barrett-Jackson Auctions

Geography   House Hunters International

Culinary Arts   Chopped

Economics   Love It or List It

Arts & Crafts   Flea Market Flip

Nature Study   Duck Dynasty

Social Studies   Teen Beach Movie

Creative Writing   Merlin

Character Study   Sponge Bob

What show does your family enjoy together?

{Note: This post is intended as a tongue-in-cheek bit of fun. While I do think there is educational value in our daily activities, I don’t use these shows for actual school credit.}

{Real Life Homeschooling} is a monthly blog hop that I co-host with 20+ bloggers. It is about turning the world into our classroom and showing how homeschooling happens in real life as well as during “school hours” .

We invite you to link up your Real Life Homeschooling posts!!

    I can’t tell you enough how much I love you for this post! Sometimes, I need someone else to help me release the mommy guilt!

    As for our tv shows…

    We enjoy America’s Got Talent (my daughter and her BFF are planning their “acts” for next year)
    Get Out Alive (it’s a survival show!)
    and it’s a bit salty on the language side but it’s our guilty pleasure anyway…Pawn Stars.

      LOL I almost didn’t add Sponge Bob to the list – that is treading on dangerous ground!
