Homeschool Friends
Homeschooling your children can be tough, but that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone.
And that’s where Homeschool Friends comes in. Every Thursday at 2 PM, via Zoom, Miss Katie guides families through fun and engaging activities that focus on STEAM skills. Through icebreakers, discussion, and a culminating activity, children can let their curiosity and creativity take charge as they learn, laugh, and grow together.
For January, Miss Katie is introducing families to entrepreneurship. Throughout the month, kids will learn how to develop their own product, how to market it for sale, and get an introduction to economics, with an emphasis on bartering and trade. At the end of the month, kids will have a complete product as a capstone project.
Here’s a snapshot of what to expect each week.
- Week 1 - Introductions and games to connect with new families, introduction to entrepreneurship, and initial brainstorming for products.
- Week 2 - Introduction to product design and development, continued brainstorming, and creating an “idea jar” for future projects.
- Week 3 - Basic marketing, including ideas for how to market a product, design a brand logo, and develop a simple marketing strategy for your product.
- Week 4 - Introduction to economics (bartering/trade, goods and services, currencies, and exchange).
