ordinary time: Homeschooling and the holidays

I haven't written much about homeschooling lately, mainly because there isn't much to write.  Up until this past week we were following our normal schedule.  And since it's just what we do, it hardly seems worth writing about.  Last week was the end of my scheduled lesson plans.  I knew that I would be entering the 'frantic sewing phase' of the season and it was no use fighting it.  As a compromise, I scheduled end of semester projects for everyone to work on.  That way our schedule would...

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?”

Homeschooling with Autism: Sounding smart when questioned ...

Being eaten by the shark at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.  Love the face!

I'm just gonna say it.  There are going to be people that either disapprove of homeschooling or think you aren't qualified to do it.  You could get into many a lengthy debate with them.  I don't anymore.  Now that I am fairly comfortable in my homeschooling mom role, it doesn't bug me as much.  I have learned one thing that has helped out when the children are questioned.  Teach them how to answer when people...

Modern Day Ozzie and Harriet: Calvert 4th Grade Review

This is my second time through Calvert School's 4th grade homeschool curriculum, and I loved it must as much the second time around. I've been homeschooling this child since Kindergarten, always using Calvert's curriculum, and been nothing but pleased with it. My son is highly intelligent, and has always been considered "too young" for the grade that he's in by the school district. This is why I started teaching him in the first place: his birthday being only 5 days after mine, I knew he could...

Homeschool and Etc.: What's RIGHT About the State of Missouri.

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. I posted this, Choosing Homeschool Curriculum, and have honestly chosen different curriculums than I originally thought, with the exception of Spelling and Science. I fell in love with the Noeo Science homeschool curriculum the moment I found it. Dr. Randy Pritchard has created a science homeschool curriculum that is anything but boring and...
