Homeschool Electives Add Variety and Interest To Your Child's Day.

Now listen, you cannot bog down Little Moe with homeschool electives like art, soccer, hockey, Japanese, and guitar without taking time away from other CORE subjects. So pick and choose your elective course work and outside activities carefully.

Make them count and make sure it is something your child enjoys or else you'll just be spinning your wheels.

If you choose to do a Classical Education Method be prepared for foreign language in early elementary. Latin is the foundation of that method. What's that? Don't speak Latin? Don't have to. It is a dead language - Latin is used to help people think critically not for its conversation potential.

So anyway - be prepared to fit Latin into your CORE subjects early on. That may mean that something else will take a back seat.

At any rate the point of this little blurb about electives is to introduce you to the elective concept - I think you get it (art, music, dance, sports, and foreign language...possibly rodeo, 4H, Boy Scouts, and Civil Air Patrol too...up to you guys). And then give you some curriculum choices and/or group options for the most common ones.

Unit studies are a great way to fit in electives even if you don't use a unit study approach for anything else, and remember they are SIMPLE!
