Math-Struggling Mom of Six Loves Saxon Home School Curriculum

How does this homeschooling mom of six, who once struggled through math herself, successfully teach math? Her secret: Saxon home school curriculum! I have found Saxon home school curriculum to be a solid math program, that forces kids to practice their math facts and not just learn the math concepts. I also have found the DIVE CD to be very helpful with the older students, and has freed me up to work with the younger ones. I have used Saxon home school curriculum for four years, and plan to...

Homeschool Curriculum: Self-Teaching

I have researched a lot of curriculum...

from our front porch lookin' in...: Homeschool Student Photos

I attended our local public schools from Kindergarten through 8th grade. My parents have a set of 8 x 10 photographs of me from each of those years, lining the top of the built-in bookcase in their living room. It is a really neat thing to see how much I grew and changed year after year.

As homeschoolers, it can be so easy to slack off on little traditions like making a "yearly school picture." I've done my best to keep it up, because I hope that someday my kids will find it as intriguing as I...

Illinois Review: Illinois Homeschoolers Don't Need IDs from the ...

by Susan Ryan

Illinois' Boone County Board is contemplating a truancy ordinance [Ordinance pdf is linked on the right sidebar]. They like to call it a truancy ordinance, but it's more accurate to call it a daytime curfew.  

Last fall, Boone/Winnebago County Regional Office of Education Superintendent Richard Fairgrieves responded to some Illinois Homeschool Freedom Watch members who were concerned about his office's over-compliant demands of homeschoolers.  His assumption that private...

Homeschooling Throughout the Summer | Keeper of the Home

Written by Beth Corcoran, Contributing Writer

When I tell people that we homeschool year round, I usually get one of two responses.  I often hear from homeschooling families, “Oh, we try to do that, too.”  And then I often hear, “Why on earth would you do that to yourself and your poor kids?”

Well, don’t feel too sorry for my kids.  They are managing just fine.  In fact, summer time is our favorite time of the year to do school. Let me tell you all about it.

Whit's World: Noeo Biology 1: A Homeschool Science Curriculum ...

When we began this homeschool journey back in August, I did a lot of research about a wide variety of curriculum options...especially in Math and Science.
