Keeping Them Going…

One of the most difficult things that I have found while homeschooling, is the ability to keep my kids on task when there is something else they are interested in. Right now, it’s the beautiful weather that I seem to battle every day. They all want to be out in the sunshine, enjoying free play. While in itself it really is a good thing, but when you have a good bit of work to accomplish to meet your goals, that good thing can turn into my arch nemesis. :)

Through much trial and error, I have found that if I give my children a variety of things to do within the parameters of schooling, they will be more apt to maintain interest throughout the day. During these beautiful temptingly sunshine-y days… I try to incorporate online activities like using an online vocabulary quiz instead of paper/pencil work, making a project that corresponds to what we are studying in science, using workbooks for a while, and then accessing some interesting online math games to round out the day. By using a variety of methods to complete what we need to accomplish in our educational goals the kids are not as easily bored with one thing.  It seems to be working right now, and hopefully will get us through to summer break!
