Wall charts can be a great addition to
your school. You can find them on a variety of different
topics from geography to grammar or to science. Having them as
part of your homeschool can help not only create a learning
environment for your children also reinforced the idea that
learning never stops. |
In our homeschool week began using wall charts
before our children were homeschool age. We had one chart that
showed the colors and shapes: blue triangle, red circle, yellow
rectangle. And then we had a second chart that showed the letters of the
alphabet and a picture for each letter. For example, the letter had a
picture of a shiny red Apple and the word “Apple” written below it. The
charts were hung, one on the door to the basement, the other on the door
to the upstairs. My children would point to a picture and either ask
what it was, or eventually told me what it was.
This made learning fun for them. As our children got older it was
only logical that we would continue to use wall charts to teach new
concepts. When we were in the process of adopting our daughter from
Russia we had a large wall chart with a heart sticker on top of the city
where she was living. Then we could look at the countries surrounding
Siberia and talk about them. We could talk about time zones explaining
the difference between what the time was where we were and where she
was. We could teach on geography and climate. We could discuss Russian
culture and history as well as American culture and history. One wall
chart allowed us to dialogue on many different topics.
Now as our children are moving into more complex topics, we are
adding wall charts that have math factors, science terms, and other
learning. You can find wall charts at a teaching supplies store for
only a few dollars. A great investment.
