May 12, 2006, Newsletter Issue #127: Teaching Your Own Kids

Tip of the Week

I repeatedly hear that homeschooling has given many parents the opportunity to educate or re-educate themselves in certain subjects. For example, one mother wasn’t interested in early history or word roots and grammar because of the negative feeling she carried over from her personal school experiences. However, upon reading about these to her son, she found herself becoming more interested as time went on. She also never considered herself artistic.

Another mother claimed that, n order to teach art to her son, she obtained a “How to Draw” art series, which gave the exact layout of different objects. She was so amazed when her rockets, spaceships, and buildings came out well that she has actually took up drawing classes!

*Use homeschooling as an opportunity to learn new things and add dimension to your life!

Thanks so much for reading the the Homeschool Tips Newsletter.

The new 2006-2007 Sonlight catalog is hot off the presses! In addition to new educational resources, we've also made some significant improvements to our curriculum, such as expanded flexibility in Reader choices for Levels K through 2.

The catalog also provides several articles with helpful homeschool tips. For example, check out the "Top Ten Goals" article (pp. 146-147) which can help you think through your personal philosophy when it comes to homeschooling. And "Why we use certain books that some homeschoolers won't touch" (pp. 144-145), that gets into some pretty important issues about the content of books. And you won’t want to miss “27 Reasons NOT to Buy Sonlight”—a perennial favorite (beginning on page 148).
