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.

Whether you’re brand new to Latin or just need structure for your homeschool routine, I’m sharing exactly how to teach Prima Latina in your …
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 …
