My family began our home education journey nearly 7 years ago. If you are a home educator, you probably remember all the resources you devoured as you tried to wrap your head around this crazy idea called Home Education. I was blessed to have access to a great local church’s library that [...]

Fun Latin Phrases
Posted in Home Education on October 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
While I’d like to start my kids on Latin early in their academic careers, that hasn’t happened, yet. So, instead of kicking myself, I’ve found another way to at least get some Latin into their heads. Memorizing verb conjugations, noun declensions, and vocabulary is certainly another way, but we are having a blast [...]
A new wind blowing in our homeschool
Posted in Home Education on October 23, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Yesterday was one of those homeschool days you’d like to encase in plastic and pull out every now and then when you need some encouragement. I’m not entirely sure how it happened, but it did, and it was delightful!
How long I’m not sure, but with growling intensity I’ve recently felt the keen lack of [...]

For most homeschoolers, school is in session and has been for a number of weeks. We are on week 8, which is about the time I usually start pulling out my hair a bit. How about you? I think what happens is we start to let our habits slide a little [...]

Hi, friends! Well, I do not know how I finished this this week (baptism, celebration picnic, first birthday, visit from my mom, and first day of CC), but I did! As of now, this is only the first semester. When I finish the second semester, I’ll update the file (and post [...]
Weekly Wrap-Up: Aug 14

Highlights from the school week:
Right now Mathematics for my elder daughter (7) consists of playing the game “Countdown” and practicing telling time. We’ll get back to the textbook when she gets her addition and subtraction facts a bit more cemented. (Countdown is helping her with that.)
Our verse for the week: Be devoted to one another [...]

In lieu of another long-drawn out dissertation on “what we did this week”, I thought perhaps you might enjoy a few snapshots.
First day of school for 2009-2010 was Wednesday!
Transfiguration Day Feast.
Picking figs, considering selling them, and then deciding that a batch of fig ice cream would be nicer. We just love those figs [...]

Wednesday was our first day of homeschool for 2009-2010!
I wasn’t all together ready for the first day, but if I didn’t start on the 5th I might have found reasons to wait until September. My goal is to get our school work in before the end of April 2010, so that we can enjoy the [...]

Homeschool Questions: What do you use?
Posted in Home Education on July 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Last month I started what I’d hoped would be a series of posts on “Homeschool Questions” in response to some questions I’ve gotten from new homeschoolers. I’ve been a bit slow in getting to the rest of the series, haven’t I? Well, what can I say, summer has gotten the better of me and I’m [...]
