Homeschooling is a growing trend across North America. An estimated 1.2 million children are home schooled on a part time or full time basis currently in the United States.
Many parents make the decision to homeschool their children, and in doing so are privy to some clear benefits. Homeschooling allows you to tailor a specific education to your child’s individual needs, something that is often lacking in the public or private school systems. Homeschooling also allows you and your child to learn together, creating not only a heirloom learning experience but strengthening family bonds. Add to this the fact that it is often prohibitively expensive to send multiple children to private schools, and we can see why homeschooling has become increasingly popular.
One of the most important aspects of homeschooling your child is coming up with a clear plan and set of goals. One of the greatest aspects of homeschooling – its complete flexibility – can also be one of the most difficult if it is not approached directly. Without a clear plan, you run the risk of creating a scattershot education that puts your child out of place with his or her peers.
So when you begin homeschooling, you should come up with a clear set of general goals. Think about why you want to homeschool your children, and what you want them to get out of the experience. What, generally, do you want your child’s education to encompass? Once you have answered these general questions for yourself, begin to split your child’s education into various subject areas. For each subject area, you want to come up with a timeline and set of goals.
A good place to start in terms of a timeline would be to look at the standard curriculum for your child’s grade in a public or private school. While it is almost certainly true that one of these reasons you’ve selected to homeschool your child is to go beyond and outside this standard curriculum, you also want to make sure that your child does not fall behind his or her peers in a given subject area.
Come up with your plan by looking at the standard expectations for a given subject level and then working backwards: how do you want to achieve that level of knowledge? What are the targets for each week? By setting these targets you can establish a timeline and curriculum that allows for competent homeschooling.
Clearly, one of the points of homeschooling is its relative flexibility, and you by no means need to stick to a plan in a completely rigid manner, but don’t let this tempt you into avoiding one: although it may seem wonderful to have an entirely “organic” education for your children, this can easily go awry. If you constantly let your child’s learning be dictated exclusively by his or her interests, gaps will appear in her knowledge. Instead make a clear educational plan that allows for flexibility. Plan what your child is going to learn, but leave the “how she will learn it” some breathing room: as you begin the process of homeschooling you’ll learn how your child learns greatest, and can begin to incorporate this into the lessons.
By coming up with a clear educational plan you arm yourself with one of the most essential tools to efficient homeschooling.

Choosing and perhaps making teacher-gifts with your child can
provide quality family-time while teaching your child to give
from the heart. Here are ten ideas even busy families can use.
1. Start an amaryllis. This lovely plant starts as a bulb
that you can plant and begin watering around Thanksgiving to
bloom near Christmas. You can buy them inexpensively at home and
garden centers with their own plastic pot and potting medium.
Parents can help kids keep the soil appropriately moist. Add a
colorful outer pot or foil wrap and ribbon for a festive
presentation.
2. Make potpourri ornaments. Make a batch of these when
you want to remember multiple teachers. At a craft store, buy
clear, round, hollow plastic ornaments and holiday-colored
potpourri. Help your child pour some potpourri into each
ornament. Close and loop a ribbon through the top.
3. Mold glycerin soaps in fun shapes. Buy colored
glycerin soap bars and molds from a craft store. Melt soap
chunks in a can placed in a pot of water over a low flame. Let
the can cool until it can be safely handled. Supervising
carefully to avoid burns, help your child pour the liquid soap
into the molds. Let harden and release. Package several soaps in
a cellophane bag and tie with ribbon.
4. Shop fair trade. The “fair trade” label means the
farmers or artisans who produce an item are paid fairly. You can
find fair-trade coffees, chocolates, bath items, jewelry, home
accessories and increased at www.globalexchange.org, www.servv.org.
and some local stores. In a note, tell what part of the world
your gift came from and what “fair trade” means.
5. Make “jar-mixes.” Layer the dry ingredients of your
favorite cookie recipe in a jar. Tie a pretty ribbon around the
jar’s neck and include the full recipe, noting which ingredients
need to be added. Hint: Use a small enough jar that the
ingredients are held snugly in place to preserve a layered look.
Visit www.cooksrecipes.com/cookie/cookie-in-a-jar-mix.html for
recipes and tips.
6. Buy a relaxation wrap. This gift is in addition expensive
than the others listed here. It’s a soft flannel wrap that can
be microwaved for a minute to provide a half hour of warmth and
soothing lavender aroma. This is a fantastic gift for a special
teacher, especially in areas with cold winters. Available at
www.dodisturb.com.
7. Bake with your child. This one is great because your
children’s participation can expand as they grow. Even
preschoolers can pour pre-measured ingredients and stir, and
middle-schoolers can take pride in baking independently with
adult supervision. Watch carefully to prevent burns, and be sure
to protect any classmates with nut allergies when delivering
your gift to the classroom.
8. Make candles. Kits are available at craft stores.
Supervise carefully around hot wax. For honeycomb wax sheet
candle kits that do no involve high temperatures, visit
www.islandtreasuretoys.com/homeschool_supplies.html.
9. Give a gift related to your teacher’s children, pets or
hobbies. Would the teacher like a subscription to a magazine
devoted to dogs or cats? How about giving a copy of your
family’s favorite read-aloud book for your teacher’s family to
enjoy?
10. Give an “alternative gift” of a contribution to a charity
in the teacher’s name. Sponsoring organizations generally
provide a card or certificate you can download or have sent.
