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 …
It’s back! The Homeschool Attendance Record for 2021-2022 is here! I can tell that homeschool moms are starting to mentally switch over to next year due to the many emails that are trickling in regarding the attendance record. We just finished up our school year on Friday, so my thoughts are starting to roll for …
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. 😉 I enjoy teaching my children …
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 …
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 …
I would like to invite you to a new series here at Mama’s Learning Corner: In Our Homeschool. A few times each month, I’ll post a bit about our school week. It might be a project we’re working on, our a book we’re reading, a field trip, or maybe a helpful homeschool hint. In Our …
Like most homeschool families, our homeschool wall space is at a premium. We are very blessed to have an 8-foot white board, two large windows, and several book cases in our school room. While we are very grateful for the room itself, not to mention the board and windows and bookcases, it does present a …
Through the years, I have homeschooled my children in several ways – unit studies, literature-rich studies, and the 4-year history rotation. At the root of all of it was a classical education, even though I veered from that a bit in the earlier years due to the New-and-Shiny Syndrome. As my oldest child aged and …
Yahoo! The Homeschool Attendance Record for 2020-2021 is here! And as I look back through previous years’ records, I see that I am surprisingly early in posting it this year. I’m giving myself a pat on the back for that, haha. I’m grateful for this momentary quieter season of life. It thrills me that so …
I love blogs. I discovered blogs when I was pregnant with my oldest boy back in 2004, and I’ve been such a fan ever since. More specifically, I love pre-Facebook blogs. Are you familiar with those? They’re pretty old-school. For those of you not old enough to remember, blogs used to be very conversational. The …
If you have homeschooled for any length of time, you know that some years are simply magnificent. Life circumstances and educational goals fall into line beautifully. Other years, life events happen that cause academics to occasionally take a back seat to more pressing issues at hand. Over the past 3 years, our family has faced …
