Review.


Background Background

Now that you have decided to home school, have you completed the following:

Checked your Local and State School Districts to get acquainted with their requirements for home schooling?

Selected your curriculum? Selected text books, or will you use e-texts? Your calendar for the school year. When the

six weeks begin and end. Can you identify your student’s

Learning Style?


Learning EnvironmentLearning Environment

The learning environment is another important part of your instructions. You might keep in mind the student’s learning styles when creating this environment. Different rooms in the home may be used to reflect different subjects. The rooms should be well lighted and comfortable. The kitchen area is a good area for math and science. The learning environment can also be created outside of the home: trips to grocery store, doctor’s or dentist office, mensium or, visiting family members and the like.

Learning EnvironmentLearning Environment Now you want to create your learning

environment. Here are some suggestions: The learning environment should be well

lighted in an open area in the home. You may choose and decorate different rooms

in the home to reflect the different subjects. Planned trips outside of the home can also

become the learning environment. Subject matter can correspond to the occasion.

Or you may consult http://www.homt-educator.net for more detail creations.



PreparationPreparation

The first thing you want to do is to make a schedule. The schedule show which subject, you will teach, on which day. This will include the time of day the subject will be taught. Sample daily Schedule. Notice your curriculum, there are four subjects with a bunch of topics under them. Right now you will only be concerned with the subjects. (Note: suggestion if your student is more alert in the morning, schedule the harder classes in the morning. If the student is a more alert later in the day, schedule the harder classes for that time.
