Summer is almost here, and most of our home school groups enjoy the summer off! For you, as a leader, it’s time for quiet mornings on the deck with your morning coffee and your Bible study. Maybe you prefer sipping an ice-cold lemonade and enjoying warm afternoons, blissfully listening to your children playing in the backyard while the sound of a distant lawnmower lulls you into a nap . . . .
But wait! You are a home school group leader, and that means it’s time for getting ready for next semester!
I have visited with many home school group leaders over the past few months, and I thought I’d share ideas I’ve gathered to save you trouble and hopefully get you some much needed time off!
Here are some ideas:
- THSC Lone Star Study (available in your member benefits for THSC members)
- Team Building/Field Day classes, using team building activities and games
- Science explorations such as Extreme Weather, Unusual Animals, Cool Concoctions, Edible Science, and Biomes habitats
- Apologia Science Courses, Exploring Creation with . . .
- Foreign Language
- Sign Language
- Essay Writing
- Creative Writing
- Journalism
- Yearbook
- Photography
- Great Artists
- Art
- Painting
- Drama
- Home Budget 101
- Cooking
- PE
- Calligraphy
- Read, Write, and Draw through History
- State study/State history
- Regional study of geography/history (America, Middle East, Europe, etc.)
- Cooking
- Cake/cupcake decorating
- Making doll accessories
- Knights and Castles
- Math games
- Crochet/knitting
- Beginning sewing
One thing leaders have in common is a full schedule! I’d love for us to share and simplify this planning process so we can all go into the summer relaxed, and know that our next semester is planned. Then we can resume that dreamy plan of enjoying our summer.
Share the wealth . . . add ideas in the comments and remember to share the post!
