Usually in the 4th grade, my children spend a whole year learning and studying about our 50 United States here in America. We have used Memoria Press’ States & Capitals set for three different children so far, it is excellent. Children learn just a couple of states and capitals per week, along with a few …
Friends, I am so excited to share with you this brand new set of calendars for you and your children: On This Day in American History! For the past two years, I have had an idea rolling around in my brain to create a calendar for each month that highlights one event from American History. …
For the past 5+ years, Lingua Angelica has sat patiently on my school shelf. I ordered it years ago when my oldest girl was in the 5th grade, but we have never gotten to the implementation stage of this simple and beautiful Latin supplement.

I have always wanted to create a simple study for my children …

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 …
Through the years, there have been many – and I mean many – changes in curriculum in our homeschool. In fact, I’d be pretty embarrassed to tell you the times we’ve changed curriculum. The reasons for our many curriculum switches is a post for another day that I hope to write soon. As much as I …
