One of my main homeschool objectives in the elementary years is exposure. Sure, there are a few subjects that require mastery – math, grammar, Latin – but history, science, and geography are mostly exposure in our homeschool during the younger years. We used Story of the World for awhile as our main spine in Tapestry …
My children have always loved A to Z books – the ones that list a different word or concept for each letter of the alphabet. So I thought it would be neat to have one resource for all of the A to Z book I could find! With my other book lists, I make sure …
I am so excited to share this U.S. Symbols Fact Pack Copywork set with you! I published the first set of Fact Pack Copywork sets a year ago, and I realized I haven’t added to it IN A YEAR! That’s no good because I have several sets almost finished, so I will try to publish …
Our family is so proud and blessed to live in the United States of America. We do not take our freedoms for granted – to homeschool our children, to read the Bible without fear of persecution, to elect our representatives, to speak freely. We are grateful for our constitutional republic! In order for my children …
I’m excited to share this little pink book with you today, as it is one that we have used on and off for years! My children and I always start our day by studying the Bible, and then we do just one more thing. We don’t have huge elaborate Morning Time or Circle Time or …
My children and I study various aspect of Western Civilization each year. As a result, we have many books about the early Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. This neat look at the Roman Colosseum is an informative non-fiction book that is often pulled off of the shelf! If you’d like to see more of how I …
For many years, I loved and used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. We created so many dear-to-my-heart memories around those books, including this inspiring story about Roger Williams. Finding Providence is a story of faith and freedom! This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more details. ➡ Looking for more children’s books with …
My girls and I are studying bees this spring – what a fun unit study! We started off with Patricia Polacco’s The Bee Tree and our learning has grown from there. In addition to learning about hives and the role of bees in pollination, we’re also learning about the life cycle of a bee. So …
About a year ago, I saw a headline that made me squeal in delight: Pelosi Rips Trump: ‘As the President fiddles, people are dying’… We had just studied Nero and the burning of Rome in our homeschool that same week! How timely! (No, I certainly did not agree with the headline, I was only interested in …
Like a lot of homeschool families, we have tried quite a few math programs trying to find the “just right” fit. For the past few years, I’ve used Rod and Staff Math for my elementary-age students, and it has been a great curriculum match for my girls. I like many aspects of Rod and Staff …
A couple of years ago, I shared why I teach Latin in our homeschool. Since then, I’ve received many questions, comments, and emails inquiring as to how to teach Latin – how to get started, how to choose curriculum, and what the end game looks like. The biggest concern aside from why is: what to do …
