The shockingly wide variety of homeschool resources

Blog, homeschool, Homeschool Curriculum

If you’ve found yourself teaching your kids at home, or something like that, don’t feel like it’s all worksheets and websites. Something most non-homeschoolers don’t realize is that we have hundreds more options for curriculum and resources than any public school. Why? Because our materials don’t have to be approved by the state.

The curriculum companies themselves number in the hundreds, offering something for everyone on the spectrum, from traditional textbooks to hands-on science kits, art lessons, dozens of methods for teaching history and language arts, and something for every parenting style.

Besides formal curriculum, the internet is awash in parent- and teacher-created lessons. A quick Google or Pinterest search for just about any topic/lesson will help you find what you’re looking for.

So let me just give you an inkling of what’s out there, broken down by age.

Books are priceless gifts for every age! If you need some recommendations for beautiful, wholesome reading for Christmas gifts, I have lists! “Both man and woman have their own parts to play in bringing faith to the next generation, and the woman's role is particularly important. How can we ever think that the female sex is inferior when we see the essential responsibility God has given women in this world? Their sensitivity to spiritual concerns seems to be far more innate and natural than a man's. Mothers and wives often are the medium for our intercourse with the heavenly world, the faithful repositories of spiritual knowledge and wisdom. We should all be careful to avail ourselves of the benefits they have to offer both the present generation and the one that will follow us.” Think outside the school. It's here! My latest Knowledge Keepers book is a collection of true American Christmas stories, and you can order it now on Amazon. The stages of a homeschooled child: Grab some leftover pie and hop over to NickiTruesdell.com for all the homeschooling, motherhood, and worldview gifts! NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON! We know that the pilgrims of Plymouth came to the shores of this country because of religious persecution. But did you know that wasn’t the only reason? Easy peasy, and it only takes 100 years or so!
