High School Biology for Your Homeschool with Apologia Science
When you’ve been homeschooling for nearly twenty years, some curriculum companies come and stay in your homeschool. For our family, Apologia Sciences is one of those! Student after student, I have dusted off our stored books again and again for the current year’s use – including high school biology. I was compensated for my time to write this post; all opinions are my own. This
Ambleside Online
For almost twenty years I’ve been looking at, comparing, purchasing, and reviewing a wide variety of homeschool curricula. In all those years, one option has always stood out, Ambleside Online. Ambleside Online is an incredible Charlotte Mason curriculum. Spanning all the grades with a few extra options for lighter years and catch up years, it covers all that Miss Mason would have covered in her

The Homeschool Chemistry Curriculum Your Student Needs
This year our family enters year 18 of homeschooling… …and I enter my fourth time leading a teen through high school! I feel so grateful to many curriculum companies in our homeschool.

It is digital homeschool curriculum we love. We received this Compass Classroom Modernity
Morning Time Is Better Together
Morning Time goes by many names: circle time, morning basket, even symposium. In our home this time is anchored by our history study. We read aloud from our spine book, look at maps, and have rollicking discussions. From this firm foundation, we move into individual skill work in language arts and math. But our time learning together anchors and defines our homeschool. My oldest was
Handwriting Without Tears Cursive Success
Handwriting is something I feel is still very important, even in this age of computers and spell correct. But that doesn’t mean I think it should be difficult.
