Back to School Books for Homeschoolers

August 13, 2020 by Side By Side Learning Leave a Comment

Back to school season is right around the corner. If you wander the shelves of your local book store you will find many books that talk about returning to school. New classrooms, buying school supplies, new teachers, etc. I don’t have anything against public school but as homeschoolers, we were looking for something a little different. I wanted my kids to read about other children that are in a relatable situation, learning from home.

After some searching I found some awesome back to school books for homeschoolers.

Charlie goes to School

Originally, I thought that Charlie was a boy but I was wrong. Charlie, is a member of the family, he is the pet dog. The best friend that follows the kids everywhere and wants the other animals to learn. Charlie see’s value in learning in the home and does his best to help the mom out. It is an adorable picture book, my favorite is when he tried to teach the other dogs to read so that they wouldn’t eat his favorite food. We don’t have a dog but if we did this would be one of our favorites.

This Is My Home, This Is My School

A home is much more than four walls, especially when you choose to homeschool. Each room/space serves multiple purposes and adapts to needs along the way. This is my Home, did a wonderful job at showing that you can learn everywhere; inside, outside and on field trips. Personally, I related with the Mom, I am always trying to keep my calm and be prepared for what lies ahead but that is an impossible task. What I can do is just the next thing and that is enough. Its a huge blessing to be able to have our home and school in one place, even though many things fall through the cracks.

Doug Unplugged

You can learn with online resources and books but when kids get out into the world and actually experience things as they are happening, that’s when light bulbs go off. Doug Unplugged was the perfect book to read to help kids remember to get out there and explore and ask questions.

I don't understand what's happening in Ukraine. I' I don't understand what's happening in Ukraine. I've got the basics and a million more questions. 

I'm not going to attempt to teach you about what is going on currently. I'm here to tell you that there is time to learn and grow in understanding.

As a homeschool mom, I've had a magnifying lens on what I don't completely understand. I could pretend to know answers, skip the hard topics or I could join the lessons. 

Today I choose to join my kids and learn about the Soviet Union. After discussions with a friend I realized that it was a hole in my own education and it was stopping me from understanding current events.

We have a long ways to go but I understand more. I count that as a win.

How are you adding Ukraine into your life this week?
Ruby's courage and bravery is absolutely mind blow Ruby's courage and bravery is absolutely mind blowing. I am in awe of this little girl that walked passed groups of angry people and managed to focus on her studies.

Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr and Anne F Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr and Anne Frank were born in the same year?

These two faced discrimination based on their color and religion. They were treated as second class citizen's and both changed the world with their words. Reading about their similarities and the struggles they faced was eye opening and a great way to discuss how we are not alone in our trials.

"No one could kill the way Martin inspired others. Just as Anne's words will never die."

How do you teach your kids to do what is right even if the law tells them to behave otherwise?
