![]() ![]() So I set up a free parent account for “McCowald Homeschool,” added the girls and their grades in, and then began exploring the social studies and science lessons available to their grade levels.For example, Kimmie’s school Freckle account only had math and ELA lessons scheduled by her teachers.Since some of these learning apps suitable for homeschooling schedules were new to me, I had to look into them further: The girls learning coding on Code Monster A few notes: Code Monster (free) – online game to teach kids the basics of coding.(free) – basic typing and keyboarding lessons.ThatQuiz and Kahoot (both free) – Quiz/study programs on a wide range of topics. ![]() First In Math (parent subscriptions start at $19.95 per user for 6 months) – More advanced math skills than Xtramath, for grades 1-8.Kimmie has been using this app at school, and Essie is now using it as well. Freckle (free) – differentiated lessons, by grade level and ability, in Math, English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science.Duolingo (free) – Kimmie is continuing her Spanish study from school on this app Essie, who has to start learning some basic Korean as part of her new karate lessons, is starting Korean.Xtramath(free on laptops, small 1-time fee for tablets/mobile devices) – 5-minute basic math facts practice for Essie.What does their learning time look like?įortunately, we’ve already had exposure to a variety of learning apps, so we’re continuing work with those for starters: Kimmie practicing her Spanish on Duolingo Their first day home from school during this hiatus, they asked for iPad time I told them they had to do learning first, for at least twice as long as their free play time. In normal times, we limit their electronic time at home to no more than 30 minutes most days, if that. The key so far, for our kids, is that I am allowing them to do their morning learning time on iPads or my old Macbook Pro. ![]()
