given to each child with requirements based on the individual. These things could be done by any student and measured by time constraints or the number of repetitions accomplished.

Physical activity of various kinds can also be included in the category of physical education. Riding bikes, hiking, swimming, gymnastics, roller blading, and skiing can all count as physical education.

All children need physical activity of some kind. You, as the homeschooling parent/ guardian, know the best way to accomplish that for your child and your family. Some may choose the physical activity to be a sport, some may just go on lots of bike rides or walks, and some may get creative and come up with some fun, unique ways to keep their child physically active—just do something! Our children need to be active whether they get school credits for it or not!

“…they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint” ( Isaiah 40:31b).

Customer Comments

I want to tell you again how very much I have appreciated this curriculum. It has been wonderful and my son has loved it. It is probably one of the best things I have used in 17 years of homeschooling. -- Sandy Y.

To say my daughter loved this study is an understatement. She has treasured it. This study spurred her on to read other great works, … understand literary terms, think about a writer's intent, and set a personal goal of becoming a writer … This curriculum really fed her soul … I just wanted to thank you for the years of study that went into your books and for sharing your passion with my kids in a way that I have not been gifted. Their school experience and their lives will be richer for it.
