Soccer Camp

Sometime over the last year my middle son, Big Red, became interested in soccer. He attended a local homeschool gym program that offers a variety of 3 week sessions. His favorite weeks were soccer and swimming.

When I got an email offering a free week of soccer camp through UsFamily Guide I jumped at the chance to enroll him. This 5 day 3 hour camp will give us both a chance to see how much he really enjoys soccer before signing up for a longer commitment this Fall. The closest location for the Challenger International Soccer camp was just over 20 minutes away and was the first week of June. Since nothing else was scheduled for our family’s calendar I signed him up.

Today’s Real Homeschooling for Real Families post is written by Courtney from Homeschool Mastery Academy. She is writing about Eclectic Homeschooling and how to tell if it’s right for your family.

Eclectic homeschooling is a popular method of homeschooling for many reasons. You can blend all of your favorite homeschooling methods for a custom curriculum. You never have to feel limited or constrained to just one method. That is precisely why I am such a fan of eclectic homeschooling!

What exactly is Eclectic Homeschooling?

It is whatever you want it to be. Seriously. You can pick and choose resources from any homeschool method and blend them into your homeschool. You can take different homeschool books, resources, printables, games, curriculum and make it your own. Eclectic homeschooling has all the freedom you could ask for when it comes to home educating.

Today’s Real Homeschooling for Real Families post is written by Pat from Breakthrough Homeschooling. She is writing about using Unit Studies in Middle School.

The middle school years are commonly considered a time of transition in the traditional school setting, and it’s not any different for our homeschools. Our kiddos are moving from the fun and free years of games and play-as-learning, towards the more structured and focused high school years, which are just around the corner.
