Home Education Abroad |
|
If you are living away from your home culture, you may want to teach your children at home while you settle in and visit the local schools, or you might decide that it's a good opportunity to try out home education long-term. If you are posted abroad temporarily, home education can be a good way of bridging the gap for your children, so that they are not disrupted by a totally new school system. This website includes lots of resources for those homeschooling overseas.
Details about home educating in some countries outside the UK are given in the following web sites.

Sort the Mail: Pretend Play and Number Recognition |
|
Allison McDonald |
|
Kids love to pretend and test their limits within boundaries of make believe. Combining pretend play with math is a great way to challenge your kids without making them feel like it’s a test. Pretending to be a postal worker gives the task of sorting meaning and with that meaning their learning is deeper and better retained. |
