Making the Leap from School to Homeschool





Well, it looks like you have made the decision to take your child homeschooling and so for that, congratulations. You have made the leap from the institutionalized schooling system standardized by the government into taking your child’s education matters into your own hands. That alone is a big responsibility now since all of your child’sschooling needs is now for you alone to handle as a parent or guardian. Despite how daunting this new responsibility may seem, taking on a homeschool curriculum may actually be the best thing for your child since the constant care and attention you will be giving your child will help him score better. In fact, those children that have been homeschooled have been proven to perform better in standardized exams.

From School to Homeschool                              
Schools are without a doubt the institutions that have fuelled the brilliant minds of Canada’s youth, the driving force behind what such children can do and offer for the country. But there are those who cannot seem to adapt to such standardized methods and have to thus resort to homeschooling Canada instead. Such times may call for a child for a child to be taken out of the system and to be taken care of in your own way. Being the parent or guardian, you would know what is best for your child and thus can determine exactly what your child needs to be educated like everyone else.

Education Your Own Way, Your Own Pace
The beauty of homeschooling is that you are in control of everything—you control your child’s homeschool curriculum as is appropriate, covering all other subject areas necessary for your child’s educational necessities. Such a curriculum will have to cover a lot of ground, often covering a science curriculum and a math curriculum among many other subject areas necessary, but with this particular form of schooling, your child will get to learn everything at his pace as you see fit. He won’t have to feel left behind, and you’d still get to spend as much time as you’d wish with your child—the perfect parent-child bonding system.

A nurturing and positive learning environment is very important irrespective of where the education of the child takes place. Here are a few practical tips that can help homeschoolers offer an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. Set a specific area for classes While some children like to study in silence other like it when others are within their close vicinity. While some families have big houses that offer space for dedicated learning, others integrate their study area in the common living room of their house. No matter the size of the space, make sure the rooms are well lit, clean, orderly and distraction free. Have a positive attitude within the house Attitudes and moods can be infectious, so it is important that you keep any negativity aside – whether it is tension, anger or impatience – before entering the home classroom.

Homeschooling and Grandparents

If you are a grandparent who wants to be involved in your grandchild’s homeschooling life, there are a variety of ways in which you can do that. Here is a list of ideas that will help you play an important role in your grandchild’s educational experience. Full-time Teachers In some families, having a grandparent as the primary “teacher” in the homeschool is an excellent solution. This is particularly true if both parents are working full-time and the grandparents are willing to get involved. Grandparents who decide to take these roles have to be patient, energetic, and prepared to deal with the tantrums of their grandchildren. This may also involve the risk of causing rough confrontations with the parents.  The Guest Lecturer In this role, the grandparent may be skilled in math, interested in science, or passionate about literature or writing.

Chemistry Experiments for Your Homeschool

Chemistry is a very interesting subject for any homeschool science curriculum . It deals in reaction between two or more substances, color changes, heat production, production of sound energy, and much more. There is chemistry all around us, from a boiling egg, to making of pop corns, ripening of bananas, and burning firewood. As you study this subject, you will learn that there are essentially two kinds of changes: chemical and physical.  Physical changes are those changes where the substance appears different, but it is still the same in its constituency. For instance, when a sheet of paper is torn, the consequence may be pieces of paper. However, it is still paper. Chemical changes are those changes where atoms in the molecules are rearranged and create a different substance all together. Moreover, there is alteration in energy and color. For instance, when paper is burnt, the molecules making the paper undergo transformation an...
