Learn about Classical Homeschooling: Latin, book suggestions, curricula, and more
Hello Friends! Over the next few days, I’m publishing my yearly homeschool curriculum plans. I’ll publish our plans in this order: Early Kindergarten, 5th Grade, 7th Grade, 9th Grade, and 11th Grade. I know that most of you have children in the Preschool to 3rd or 4th grade range, but I continue to publish my …
Through my 11+ years of homeschooling, I’ve used a variety of Bible curriculum. From dot-to-dot worksheets with a Bible story in the very early days to just reading verse-by-verse, I have used quite a few methods to teach my children the Bible and the doctrine of our Christian Faith. Even when we had terribly difficult …
“Classical education is, above all, systematic – in direct contrast to the scattered, unorganized nature of so much secondary education. Rigorous, systematic study has two purposes. Rigorous study develops virtue in the student: the ability to act in accordance to what one knows to be right. Virtuous men or women can force themselves to do …
Yesterday, I finished teaching my 11th year of homeschool! It always feels so good to wrap up that last day of school. My children think they’re the happiest that school is over for the year, but we all know that no one is ever happier than the homeschool mama. 😉 With the end of the …
The Greeks and Roman made sure to teach their offspring not only practical skill for getting along; they made them memorize poetry commemorating the deeds of their mythological and historical heroes.

How timely! (No, I certainly did not agree with the headline, I was only interested in …
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 …
In Our Homeschool is (mostly) a weekly series here at Mama’s Learning Corner. I’ll write about what we’re learning, helpful homeschool ideas, field trips, or books we’re reading. I hope you enjoy! After we complete our morning Bible time together, my children and I get busy with our Latin studies. That looks different for each …
In Our Homeschool is (mostly) a weekly series here at Mama’s Learning Corner. I’ll write about what we’re learning, helpful homeschool ideas, field trips, or books we’re reading. I hope you enjoy! ❤ During most homeschool weeks, my children are assigned memorization in one subject other than Latin. Latin has its own share of memorization …
Finally! I have reached the end of our homeschool curriculum choices for 2020-2021! With 5 children – 4 of whom are school-age – it takes awhile to list all of our curriculum picks for the year. My oldest boy, 10th grade, will be home with us for school this year and I could not be …
I am a busy bee writing all of the homeschool curriculum posts for this school year. With a bunch of kiddos, comes a bunch of posts! Ha! Next up: 8th grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices 2020-2021! It’s hard for me to believe that my oldest girl (second born) is an 8th grader. She’s not really feeling …
