Good morning, how are you? I wanted to bring you Homeschool Resources: Extra Curriculum Classes. Take a look at the two I have shared with you and let me know which one you would most like your student to take. Or if they have used these resources what did they think of them and why?
If you have a teen ready to learn to drive, check out DriversEd.com. State-approved online driver education courses that let students learn at home and on their schedule.
DriversEd.com is approved by the Road Safety Educators Association and the Driving School Association of the Americas.
Grades 2-12, with parental supervision
What a find! This website provides over 100 free interactive music games and quizzes that teach music theory (including the names of music notes and rhythms) and the names of musicians and composers
When you get to the site, navigate through the upper menu to locate:
- Lessons – Lesson plans for learning to read music and music theory, discover the great composers, downloadable worksheets, and more
- Piano Practice – Use your mouse to practice playing “Chopsticks,” “Twinkle, Twinkle,” “Ode to Joy” and more.
- Quizzes and Games – Select the right notes on the keyboard to help Mighty Music Man move a piano, play instrument scramble, do a music word search or hangman puzzle, or test your knowledge of instrument “families.” Discover what you know about music terminology, tempos, and technology. Match composers with compositions, learn some jazz music trivia, play a game of musical “Jeopardy,” and fill in the missing notes on popular musical pieces. Test your sense of rhythm and your knowledge of music intervals, scales, and chords. You won’t believe the selection!
- Music Mazes and Puzzles to Print – Enjoy a selection of printable music-themed mazes to print out and do offline, along with all kinds of free music theory worksheets.
This is an amazing resource for music students and teachers alike.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
