Games for the Classroom or Homeschool Co-op

Games for the Classroom or Homeschool Co-op | by Eva @TheCurriculumChoice

Before I was a mother, I worked full-time in the public schools as a science specialist. Now that I am a homeschool mom, I coordinate numerous co-ops and group activities for our local homeschool community.

Middle School Etymology with King Alfred’s English

I first discovered King Alfred’s English in 2012 when a friend of mine reviewed it on her blog. With her glowing praise for the book, I ordered a copy. However, my kids were just too young then so it remained on my library shelves until this fall. We have gradually been progressing our kids to become independent learners. When my daughter began 8th grade this past

Our Favorite Homeschool Nature Study Resources

Nature journaling and exploration are great activities for families and children. It is thereby not surprising that nature study is a popular component of many homeschools.

Nature Study with John Muir Laws

Nature study and journaling have always been a major component of our homeschool. Over the years, the kids and I have filled up several nature journals with sketches, photographs, trail maps, and pressed leaves commemorating our outings.

Challenge Your Young Heroes with the National Mythology Exam

For the past few months, my son has lulled himself to sleep by listening to Percy Jackson books on audio. We only own one but he checks the books out on OverDrive (one of our favorite library resources) and will listen to them over and over again.

Cover Story Opens Doors & Builds Bridges

When we first began the school year this past fall, one of the things we were most looking forward to was the Cover Story writing curriculum. We had utilized a variety of writing programs over the years and none were really very exciting. I had a strong feeling that Cover Story was just what we needed to spice things up. We’ve been working through Cover
