Chapter 2
Creating A Learning Environment
page 57
Environment - The
New Lexicon Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary of The English Language (Canadian
Edition), defines it as "surroundings, especially the material and
spiritual influences which affect the growth, the development and existence
of a living being." Create is defined as "to bring into being." When we
homeschool, we need to bring into being material and spiritual influences
that will support and encourage a child to gain mastery of the skills needed
to function in the world. This is a pretty big order! It may look kind
of scary, and yet we have been doing this as mothers since our children
were born.
In this chapter,
I want to share with you some of my ideas about how to create a learning
environment conducive to homeschooling. Please keep in mind that
each family will create their own unique environment; one that fits their
needs. At the same time as each family will have a unique learning
environment, there are some things that I think are important to include
in all homeschooling learning environments. First and foremost for
successful homeschooling is that children need to have a place to play
and things to play with. Play is the “work” of childhood!
