My 6th grader just finished a mini French and Indian War unit study that was a great pit stop in our regular history studies. I just love the slow and steady pace we’re taking to go through the Story of the World curriculum this time around. I used to follow pretty strict 4-year cycles in…
Have you ever wondered which are the best language arts games to use in your homeschool? There are so many options out there, but not every game is both educational and fun. I’ve pulled together a list of more than 20 games (and a few manipulatives) that I have used to get my kids excited…
Oh, my mercy. I’m only homeschooling one this year. While I’m ecstatic in so many ways, it’s also entirely bittersweet for me. Who knew deleting my graduated son’s name from the letter-of-intent-to-homeschool template on my computer would be such an emotional moment? That letter with only one name on it has been turned into my…
Eli and I have certainly enjoyed a meandering pace through Story of the World for history. Because we’re never rushed to move on to the next chapter, it provides plenty of time for rabbit trails when he shows special interest in a topic. One of those special interests this year was the Vikings. We had…
I love gameschooling! Lately, we’ve found ourselves playing the best science games in our stash over and over again. Eli has been learning about compounds, body parts, and animals. He’s been practicing physics, coding, and scientific thinking. Playing games is such a family-fun, hands-on method for adding some sneaky science into our day. Eli rarely…
‘Tis the season for gift giving! In fact, in my home, it’s not just a Christmas gift season – we have a birthday boy in December, too. I hope these educational gifts lists help you find perfect gifts for the kiddos in your life! I’ve always been a big believer in giving educational gifts whenever…
Peaceful Ponds may not be quite as calm as they appear! Beneath the surface, ponds are alive with fascinating plant life and a flurry of animal activity. Through hands-on exploration and creative learning, your children will discover the secrets of pond ecosystems while diving into exciting earth science topics along the way.
This 15-week curriculum pairs rich picture books with short, effective lessons—perfect for 3rd–5th graders who thrive with a gentle, engaging approach to language arts.
Well, these children of mine keep getting older and I find myself with a sophomore in college, a high school junior and a 4th grader. My homeschool became a boy school last year – and I’ve come to enjoy planning with active boys in mind! Take a peek at our homeschool curriculum and slightly improved schedule……
As much as I’m going to miss my sweet girl as she heads off to college this year, I have to admit it’s kind of nice only planning curriculum for two kiddos this year. My boys are in 10th and 3rd grades. Yeah, we pretty much won’t be able to do any multi-age homeschooling. It’s…
I love homeschooling middle school students. They are so ready to dive deep into learning because they finally have the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic down. On the other hand, they are still completely open to creative lessons. You can just do SO much with this age group! In our eclectically Charlotte Mason homeschool,…
(I received a complimentary subscription to Standard Deviants Accelerate and was compensated for my time preparing this review. As always, all opinions are strictly my own.) My 9th grader is a visual/auditory learner who doesn’t like to waste time in school. Well, let me rephrase that last part. He does like to waste time in…
