Seeking out the hidden things in Christ

Wrapping up a unit

Well, today was the last day of our unit study. I dislike it when we wrap up a unit in the middle of the week. I need to finish out this week's L/A and spelling planned, but other than that I think we'll have a mini "Grace Week".

 

A "Grace Week" is similar to an unschooling concept but with defined goals and projects. My 10 yo daughter needs to finish out her reading assignment and my son has found a new joy in cursive writing using this wipe off practice board I picked up for him on Ebay. I want to encourage him to have some fun with it! My oldest daughter still has a bit of paperwork to finish since I give her a more intense workload(She's in 8th grade). Typically I give her an outline of what her assignments are for the week and we go over them together if she has any questions. I will point out important due dates with her if she has a research paper due, but I allow her to set her study schedule.

 

Does anyone else homeschool a teen? How do you work their assignments with them? I would love to hear your tips and what your typical routine is like.

 

Blessings!

Feb. 8, 2006 - Unschooling...

Posted by Fyara
My parents did a lot of letting us unschool as teenagers. Mostly encouraging internet communications, and extensive reading. http://www.thatquiz.com has been helpful for Math. We've had an emphasis on Music, and a lot of Home Economics for the girls.
