Back to Homeschool 2008

Posted on August 4, 2008 by

Today marks the first official day of our school year.  I have to admit while we usually school throughout the summer to some extent, the past few months have been such a flurry of other activity that not a whole lot of formal education went on.  I am looking forward to getting into some kind of routine.  For this week I have decided to just stick with the basics of Math, English, Science, and History … Continue reading →

Book Choices

Posted on June 18, 2008 by

I’ve been working on making decisions on what resources to use for school next year.  I have poured over the wonderful Rainbow Resource catalog, reading the reviews, and then getting on the internet and using their website, Amazon, Christian Book Distributors, and the various company websites to look over the products.  I love the preview windows most of these places offer.  It’s so hard to make choices site unseen.  My daughter’s courses are fairly simple … Continue reading →

Move over Monet (not)

Posted on April 17, 2008 by

It was a beautiful afternoon yesterday.  We have been working on Amanda Bennett’s Gardens unit study.  We started this week and are really enjoying it.  We learned about Claude Monet and impressionist art.  Now I’ve told you before that I am severely lacking in the artistic department, but yesterday we all tried our hand at watercolors and impressionist art.  It was great fun.  I wiped the dust off my husband’s easels and we headed out … Continue reading →
