Teaching Latin at home doesn’t have to be overwhelming! In our classical homeschool, I’ve used Prima Latina with all my children over the years—starting with my oldest over a decade ago. 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 …
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 …
Creating a lovely homeschool environment starts with what you place on the walls. Instead of decorating for looks alone, homeschool wall posters can reinforce Bible memory work, math facts, geography, history timelines, vocabulary, and the topics your children are studying this year. Over the past 16 years, I’ve gathered a huge list of educational posters, …
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 …
When I think about my current life, it is just bizarre to me that I homeschool. And what’s even more bizarre? I teach my children Latin. I was the pre-children person that looked upon homeschooling with disdain because, well, why would you do that? Homeschoolers are weird people, as I once believed. Side story: I used to …
For over 10 years, Rod and Staff Grammar has been one of the most reliable pieces of our homeschool. While we’ve switched many subjects, Rod and Staff English Grammar has remained a constant from grade 3 through grade 8. In this post, I’ll share how we schedule lessons, adapt quizzes and tests, and use the …
I am so excited to finish up this year’s simple homeschool attendance record! I appreciate all of you who email to see when it will be ready. I know y’all love its simplicity as much as I do! Even if you’re not in a state that requires a homeschool to keep attendance, it’s advantageous to …
Spelling curriculum can feel surprisingly tricky to choose as a homeschool mom—especially when your child can study a list, pass the Friday test, and still misspell the same words in everyday writing. In this post, I’m sharing what I learned while teaching spelling in our homeschool, the spelling programs we tried (and why some didn’t …
