National Clean Up Day is an excellent opportunity

National Clean Up Day is an excellent opportunity to teach homeschoolers about the importance of environmental stewardship, community service, and the benefits of a clean and healthy environment.

There are many ways to participate in National Clean Up Day as a homeschooler, and here are a few ideas to get you started:
⭐️Organize a neighborhood cleanup: Gather your homeschooler's friends and neighbors to pick up trash and debris from the streets and parks in your community. You can provide gloves, bags, and snacks to make the event more enjoyable.
⭐️Create an art project from recycled materials: Use National Clean Up Day as a teaching opportunity to explore the importance of recycling. Collect recyclable materials from your home or community and create an art project that demonstrates the beauty and value of repurposing waste.
⭐️Plant a garden: National Clean Up Day is also an excellent time to beautify your community by planting a garden. You can teach your homeschooler about the importance of pollinators, composting, and sustainable gardening practices while creating a beautiful and beneficial space for your community.
⭐️Write a letter to your local officials: Take this opportunity to teach your homeschooler about civic engagement by writing a letter to your local officials advocating for environmental policies and programs that support a clean and healthy environment.

These are just a few ideas to help you and your homeschooler participate in National Clean Up Day. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun, learn, and make a positive impact on your community and the environment.

September 8th is UNESCO’s International Literacy

September 8th is UNESCO’s International Literacy Day. Why is literacy so important? Knowing how to read opens doors to lifelong learning!

As homeschoolers, we know that learning happens everywhere. For any caregiver out there who has watched a child learn to read, we also know that a certain kind of magic happens when the world is understood through reading.

How do you talk about literacy with your family? What is your experience with your children learning to read? Do you have favorite resources or curriculums for learning to read or for emerging readers?
