Gardening as part of a curriculum
Gardening is a brilliant subject to include in a homeschool curriculum (rocks/soil composition/photosynthesis/etc)
What to include in a school project?
Setting project-based school work allows home educators to give home-ed pupils open-ended studies of learning: A long-term unit study.
Home-Ed Study Weeks
Study weeks are similar to the idea of 'deschooling'; the process of taking a break from formalised teaching/learning. Deschooling is intended to re-spark a joy for learning and study weeks work the same.
Safe Surfing
for home-educated students, the internet allows them to access knowledge independently of a teacher; to become self-led learners. And yet, giving children unsupervised access to the internet isn't a good idea.
So how do you teach homeschoolers about safe surfing while still facilitating access to the educational resources available online?
