Today on The Modern Homeschool Podcast, I’m chatting all about how to plan and carry-out large homeschool projects. In this episode, I will give you some easy tips on how you can create studies, science, geography and art projects like a pro with your kids.
Large Homeschool Project Checklist:
Pre-planning: Gather information and brainstorm a loose timeline for the project or unit study in mind. (Usually 4-6wks)
Planning/Brainstorming with the kids: Talk with your kids about the project and take them to gather materials, supplies and good research if necessary.
Work: Allow kids focused ‘project’ time in which they can devote a solid amount of time and effort to working on their project in an open-ended way.
Polish & Present: Allow the kids to critique and better their own work, advise if they ask for help. Encourage them to present the material in a fun way. Maybe over dinner or with friends?

Did you know that homeschooling is currently the fastest growing form of education?
With nearly five million homeschoolers in America today, I hope that my listeners will gain inspiration, research and new ways to implement education with their children in natural and intentional ways. I want to offer solutions to the many challenging problems our youth faces today. I want to unify home educators and parents from around the world.
