The IRS has a free "Understanding Taxes" online course - it's roughly 10 lessons, very helpful. My daughter did it this last year as part of Life Skills.
What great ideas! I've done a few electives in my own but more music and drama where they were mostly learning or doing. I am getting ready to design a home ec course for my daughter for next hear. I took a class in high school where we learned to do taxes and it was so helpful to actually see how the taxes figure out ( versus just using the online systems now).
This was very helpful thank you. My oldest is going into middle school next school year so I’m currently planning out what electives will look like. I’m currently putting together classes from resources for typing, piano, woodworking, and possibly autocad. My husband has the skills of woodworking and autocad, so they will be taught by him, but I will be collecting the resources and putting together a class plan.
I love this idea and am very excited to see your Home Ec class! My daughter was just expressing the desire for a year-round cooking class focusing on different topics such as knife skills, pasta making, cooking around the world, etc. so I am right there with you in planning! On another note, my family is part of a faith-based scout group that explores different topics and life skills through earning badges, such as Outdoor Cooking, Social Skills & Etiquette, and Sewing. They give great ideas of projects and various avenues to explore the topic further.
Practicing different coping skills could be part of your hands-on mental health projects. Breathing techniques, yoga, exercise, mindfulness exercises are just a few ideas. I love your content and ideas for high school! ❤❤❤
I would love a video after your children go through the two courses you planned for them. What worked best, what didn’t, which books they/you loved, which ones could be skipped, etc Great job mama!
If it helps, TGATB has a mental health unit that has 3 picture books that goes with it. It seems like it's on the younger side, but it's an option. We liked it ok.
Great ideas! I have had some luck finding retired Boy Scout or Girl Scout badges especially the Girl Scout Interest Project badges for some mental health and life skills.
One of my high school scouts wrote a mental health badge program for her Gold Award. Definitely got some inspiration from that! Her research for it was so in depth
@@mypracticallyimperfectlifeis it on the web somewhere? I would like to add it to my daughter’s health elective for middle school. We are going to start that once we finish her Silver Award.
