Welcome back to my annual homeschool curriculum series here at Mama’s Learning Corner! Each year, I share our curriculum choices for each grade level I am teaching. In this post, I will share our chosen curriculum for my 8th grade daughter. My extroverted 13-year-old is full of charm and sass and is just a joy …
Welcome to my annual Homeschool Curriculum posts where I share ALL of the things we are learning in our homeschool this year! This year is my 13th year of homeschooling and I have a full house! I will teach my 12th grader, 10th grader, 8th grader, 6th grader, and my Kindergartner. It is a full …
Even though we are using a formal textbook-style curriculum this year, I’m not super rigid in completing all of the book. Part of the freedom of homeschool is not having to complete all the parts of any curriculum. I can choose what is the best fit for my children, and then leave the rest. It’s …
This week, I am sharing all of our homeschool curriculum choices for the 2021-2022 school year. Next up are our 7th grade homeschool plans! This is only the 2nd time I have taught 7th grade, so I still feel a bit new with middle school. My oldest boy went to private school from 7-9th grades, …
Since I teach my children a classical education, my children and I study various aspect of Western Civilization each year. As a result, we have many books about the early Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. This neat look at the Roman Colosseum is an informative non-fiction book that is often pulled off of the shelf! If …
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! I am afraid to say that our house has a terrible case of Spring Fever. I don’t know why it surprises me each …
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 …
When I share children’s books with learning ideas, they are often of the fiction or non-fiction variety. However today, I have a wonderful reference or resource-type book to share with you. Non-fiction, fiction, short stories, chapter books, poetry…they all are important to read! Today’s book, Daily Life at the Time of Jesus, is a non-fiction …
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 …
I have another fascinating book to share with you today: Sea Clocks: The Story of Longitude. For many years, my children and I used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. While it can be a bit difficult to wrap your brain around, Tapestry offers a wide selection of books for grades K through 12th. Most of …
Today’s book selection is one so dear to my heart. It is is nothing but sheer delight: Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. A couple of years ago, my Daddy gave me this book for Christmas because he thought I would like it. How sweet is that? Even now, when he and I are talking …
