Homeschool Tip #2

Posted in Homeschool Tips on November 10, 2009 by monctonhomeeducaters

Want to be more consistent in correcting your children’s paper work? Want your kids to do their corrections?

Here’s a helpful tip: add stickers!

After correcting their work, add stickers. They will look forward to seeing their new stickers and will be reminded to check their work at the same time:)

Some weird and wacky stickers may include:

puffy

scratch n sniff

sparkly

theme stickers

velvet

googly eye stickers….

 

Have fun!

Posted in Homeschool Tips on October 30, 2009 by monctonhomeeducaters

Are you and your kids dreading the monotonous routine that you call homeschool?

Try something fun:

  • Take a field trip.
  • Go sing to the elderly in the nursing homes.
  • Try a fun experiment or hands-on project.
  • Watch a video about topics you are studying.
  • Start reading a book out loud to your kids.

Here’s some ideas to get you started. Have fun!

We would like to invite all those who are not already participating in choir or art to take part in a Christmas Program on November 26th, 6:30 P.M. at Mt. Zion Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (Charles Lutes Rd.).

We would like musical performances or recitations focused on the birth of Christ.

The program will also include a presentation by the choir.

Refreshments will be served after the program and we will enjoy the art work of the students.

Thank you!
