Tips for including preschoolers in your homeschool studies

Learning together as a family is a fun and sweet dynamic to have in your home. This style offers ways to practice patience, cooperation, and creativity alongside academics, teaching how to respect others at their own levels. As children learn together, you create an environment where children are encouraged to cooperate and learn together – learning not just from curricula and assignments but from one another.

In a family-style learning setting, younger children have the opportunity to gently become exposed to advanced ideas earlier through listening and participating with their older siblings. As they observe, they are picking up advanced vocabulary, ideas, and concepts. They are also learning how to focus, be patient, and interact in conversation as they see their older siblings learning.

Small children can join in by doing hands-on activities while older siblings focus on academics, or you can tailor simple assignments to their learning level.  Younger children can draw pictures, do coloring sheets, and narrate simple ideas back to you. This is especially fun for holiday studies or simple unit studies.

Valentine’s Day unit study for kids

A Virtuous Valentine’s is a Charlotte Mason-inspired curriculum designed with your whole family in mind. The 5-day unit study designed for children 5-12 is an invitation to study the life-changing love of God in a hands-on way. Through Scripture readings, beauty subjects, picture books, hands-on activities, and a look into the history of Valentine’s Day, this study provides an invitation to delve into the profound depth of God’s love and how it shapes our relationships. We’ll explore how God’s love is unconditional, how love is expressed through acts of kindness and encouragement, how compassion and empathy can change hearts and lives, and how true love is demonstrated through selflessness and sacrifice. Your study will conclude by celebrating and creating memories together with a Valentine’s Day Tea Party.
