My Curriculum

We all do schoolwork while on the road. There are various ways that we can do schooling on the road. Distance Education, Homeschooling, sheets from schools are some of them. So what do I do for schoolwork?

Maths: I use Maths Online for my maths. It is a great site, that basically cover every topic. If I struggle with the worksheet, I watch the video, and that generally helps me.

Natural Science, fun and informative!!

Science: Exploring Creation with Biology is the book that I use for my science. I have already done Physical Science and General Science through this course, and they are very interesting. My favourite subject at school is Science, so it helps to have an informative and interesting course to follow. At the moment I am learning about Kingdom Monera and all the organisms contained within that kingdom.

English: My English program is Institute for Excellence in Writing. It is a good program, and has improved my writing, making it more interesting. Dad is currently doing his Masters, and he believes it makes his writing better too. I am also reading and then retelling Bible as One Story, a book on my kindle.

Australian History- Easy to learn while travelling

History: For history I am doing Mystery of History. I am currently learning about the renaissance, reformation, and Growth of Nations. I simply take notes, then write a short paragraph about the lesson. They are just MP3 files on the computer that we can play.

Computer: As I am currently working on a website and blog, Mum found a computer programming course that focus on Web design. It teaches Basic Html, coding and other similar things. As it was ordered from America, it will take a while to get here, but I am already excited.

Catechism: We do catechism as part of our copywork. Catechism is a series of questions and answers about what we believe, based on the bible, and why. It has bible verses which I copy an memorize for each question.

Considering we are all living in an 18ft caravan, we get quite crowded. Josh and Chloe take up the table, with Joel managing to have a bit on the table. I do my schoolwork on my bed, and I probably get the biggest “school desk” of all. If it was cooler, some of us would probably go outside, but the heat and flies make the caravan the better option.

As we have less distractions than school, we can generally get our schoolwork done before lunch. This is very good as we then have the afternoon free to do our own thing, which in my case involves working on my blog, while Joel works at Home Timber and Hardware in the afternoon.

What about you? What do you do for schoolowork? How do you do school on the road? Which option did you take (distance education, homeschooling, natural learning)?
