I often get asked how do you homeschool? What do you teach your kids? Well I have a few answers I give. If I want to end the conversation with someone who is just being a bother, i give an answer like oh they have their stuff they have to do. If it someone really interested I might explain we are relaxed and my kids mostly learn as we living. They do some work on reading and math. We get together with friends to explore art, and learn about astronomy. We follow our passions, and learn what we are truly interested in. Right now we are learning about Christmas, Hanukkah and traditions. We have spent several months learning about the revolutionary war and that time period. So far it is Johns favorite time in history. I am planning to take him to do a tour of Boston this spring.
We use http://www.worldbook.com/typical-course-of-study just to have a general idea of what topics we want to touch on. If it is of interest we dive in.
