I’m a big believer in homeschool logic and critical thinking here at Our Journey Westward. It’s been such a fun and important addition to our homeschool! When I come across new (to me) resources that are really good, I love sharing them with you. Finding logic and critical thinking resources isn’t as easy as finding curricula for the…
Many homeschool moms who teach co-op classes develop their own curriculum. Me, too, for the most part. However, I’ve found it a little more difficult to design a thorough, engaging curriculum for middle and high school co-op classes that doesn’t leave me studying and preparing for hours. As a curriculum reviewer, a lot of great…
To Print Homeschooling E-books? I was giddy with excitement when I learned about keeping a visual organizer of all your e-book curriculum from Sheri of Homeschooling on a Wing and a Prayer. I have struggled much with the fact that it’s entirely too expensive to offer my curriculum e-books in print. I know how many…
After a nice LONG summer break, we’re starting back for the 2009-10 school year next week! I can’t believe I’ll be teaching 7th and 4th grades this year – and we can’t forget the 2 1/2 year old who will continue to wreak havoc daily! 🙂 Here’s the basic daily plan – which hasn’t changed…

Following is our overall plan for the year. Bible Since working through the Old, then New Testaments over the last two years, I think we’re going to…
This was another question asked recently at co-op. Another part of the question was: How do you plan for next year when you may or may not want to change curricula? Once again, here’s the answer I gave, but I know my friend would appreciate your thoughts in a comment. I’ve told you before that I…
A new baby has slowed me down in the planning department! I’ve been putting this post together for what seems like weeks, but I believe it’s finally ready. I’ll copy this to put into my planning binder as a record of our curriculum and goals for the 2007-2008 school year. Subjects we do together: Bible/Devotions…
Caleb told me the other day that first grade sure is harder than Kindergarten! He’s right. I’m expecting a lot more from him this year, but nothing he can’t handle. He’s a very active child and would much prefer to climb a tree than do a phonics page. I make sure he has PLENTY of…
