Athome Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 If you could add one subject to your homeschool that you don't do now what would it be? **Of course assuming this hypothetical subject would add no additional planning and would require no additional time in your day.** Mine: Focused study on Handcrafts Shakespeare Geography Artistis and their works/Art History Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abba12 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 A proper art course. The best I can manage right now is drawing being a required subject, and trying to informally encourage artistic expression wherever possible, but I wish dearly I had the time, energy and ability to do a full, twice a week art course teaching mediums, techniques, and styles. As it is, I've tried and failed repeatedly, and decided the energy is best spent elsewhere (such as trying really, really hard to incoporate a once-a-week sensory activity). I do have hopes of giving them an independent art course during middle school though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 This year we squeezed in Music Theory, and recently we added Skating back into the schedule. We'll swap out swimming for skiing after Christmas. It's just getting tougher and tougher to add in more subjects when their current work takes more time as they get older. I guess this is normal, as high school students have to choose what courses to keep and what to drop. You can't always fit everything in every year.

Jackie Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 We recently added "project time", which I'm hoping to be a catch-all. 30 minutes per day of whatever the current interest is. So far, we've used it for preparing for a history fair project and writing for NaNoWriMo. Next up DD wants to use that slot to learn about chemistry. Future plans for that time slot include robotics, earning badges on DIY.org, and learning to use a weaving loom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ByGrace3 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Geography for an academic subject, and for electives: sewing and cooking for older dd, online Lego class for ds, and more enrichment and projects/art for younger dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
