Hidden Homeschooling Tools

Hi Folks!

I thought I'd share a few pictures of "hidden" homeschooling objects in our home.  Maybe you have them lurking in your closets, drawers, or corners, too.

 
Scrabble.  Learning new vocabulary words AND keeping score for arithmetic lessons.

 
Tablet PCs are awesome.  Crosswords are a great way to learn about synonyms and thesaurus.  (This app is actually from the UK, which triggered an interesting lesson regarding the English language and how it differs from country to country.

 
Calendars.  The boy asked about leap year, moon phases, holidays, how many days are in a month...

 
Telling time on an analog clock.  So crucial!

 
Telling time on a digital clock.  Important, too.

 
Temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius.  Thermometers and thermostats.  Lots to learn here.

 
Liquid units of measure!

 
More temperature teachings (food safety, too). 
 
 
 
So, take a good look at your place.  You'd be surprised at how many educational opportunities are waiting to be discovered.
