Homeschooling Teen – April 2020

Welcome to Homeschooling Teen‘s “Coronavirus Issue.” I hope you and your family are staying safe, well, and comfortable at home. This month we have several articles related to the coronavirus, but many of our articles were written before the pandemic hit the U.S, so that’s why some of the content may seem a little out of touch. But hopefully reading them will get your mind off current events for a while. After all, we don’t just want to dwell on the bad things that are happening; we also want to maintain some sense of normalcy in our lives.

Here’s what you will find in this month’s issue…

Coronavirus-related articles: Homeschooling with Coronavirus; The Spanish Flu vs. Coronavirus; and a list of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers. In addition, Alexandria reviews her “Favorite Educational Picks on Netflix,” and we compiled a list of “10 Virtual STEM Field Trips & Museum Tours.”

Homeschool articles: “How Homeschooling Can Benefit Your Teens,” “Home Videos: How Creating Videos Benefits Homeschoolers,” and “Tips for Homeschooling Abroad.” Also, since you’ve probably got some time on your hands, please consider helping with a Liberty University graduate student’s homeschool survey.

Other articles include: “Stayin’ Alive: CPR with a Disco Beat,” “Scholarship Do’s and Don’ts,” “10 Ways to Protect Yourself from Online Scams,” “Princeton Review’s Top Game Design Schools,””Online Degrees,” “Shopping Around for Your First Car,” a review of “Hoot,” and “Are You Using a Reef-Safe Sunscreen?”

The Homeschooling Teen profile features Billie Eilish! The homeschool-friendly college is Youngstown State University. For ideas on how to spend Easter at home, read the “Letter from the Editor.” And finally, learn about the new CSB Life Essentials Interactive Study Bible and enter the giveaway for a chance to win one!

Click through the links below to read the articles, and don’t forget to scroll all the way down for the Freebie(s) of the Month. We’ve provided several free printouts this time (along with an idea for something else to do!) so you’ll be able to keep busy for a while.

Oh, and if you have friends who don’t homeschool but are now stuck at home, feel free to forward this issue of Homeschooling Teen magazine to them, so hopefully they can glean something from it too. Happy Homeschooling!
