Peace and Progress with Teaching Textbooks

Teaching Textbooks

For the first three years of formal math instruction, we happily used Miquon Math.  We loved the short lessons, the colorful yet not distracting workbooks, and the use of Cuisenaire rods.  But the curriculum only goes through 3rd grade.  Come 4th grade, we were going to need a new math curriculum. We have many friends who happily use Math-U-See, and we thought about it ourselves.

Printables from Mama’s Learning Corner

Mama's Learning Corner is our go-to place for finding early years printables. The worksheets are gentle introductions to the world of formal learning.

As homeschoolers it’s sometimes difficult to meet the needs of different aged children.  True, we don’t have to manage a classroom full of 30 children.  But most classroom teachers aren’t juggling multiple grade levels and a toddler and baby.  Even with our best efforts, it can sometimes feel like no one is getting what they need. Easy Changes that Bring Peace At our house we

The Carrot Top Paper Shop

Homeschooling Encouragement for Fall

Homeschool Encouragement for Fall

Homeschooling is hard, sometimes isolating, work.  We can all use encouragement and an outside perspective. Throughout the month of September, Julie Bogart, the creator of Brave Writer, read an essay a day from her book A Gracious Space, Fall on Facebook Live.  Even though you can’t tune in live, you can still watch the replays.  They are available on the Brave Writer YouTube channel.  It’s

How To Make the Non-Homeschool Part of Life Flow

How to Make the Non-Homeschool Part of Life Flow

Even after you settle on curriculum choices and are faithfully showing up to do the work of homeschooling, there are lingering problems.  All these people need to be reliably fed and the house and calendar kept with a modicum of order.  If you are a homeschooling mama, you’ve no doubt come across the ideas of a 30 Day Meal Plan and a Home Organization Binder.

Finding Good Books with The Classical Reader

The Classical Reader--a Review at The Curriculum Choice

Reading good books together is a cornerstone practice of our homeschool.  Reading together gives our children a deep well of reliable language patterns.  This reservoir helps them become discerning, articulate readers and writers.  Good books also spark their imagination and give them a rich sense of lived history.  But really, one of the biggest benefits is that it’s enjoyable to share stories together. ~Don’t miss

Cultivating Vocation with Cheryl Swope’s Eternal Treasures

Eternal Treasures: A Curriculum Choice Review

I’ll bet you’ve heard the verse a number of times, but have you ever related Proverbs 27:17 to parenting or homeschooling?  “Iron sharpeneth iron: so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”  Isn’t that what homeschooling really is?  Haven’t you experienced the iron striking iron effect?  I know that I have never been so refined, never had a deeper sense of my own need,

Living Literature Grammar Packs from Our Journey Westward

Living Literature Grammar Packs

This past September, I made my biggest curriculum mistake yet.  I had researched and thought and finally purchased a curriculum.  But when it came time to start school, I realized that I would have to do heavy editing to make the curriculum match my student’s level.  I set it aside and bought another curriculum–happily, one that we have been making progress in all year long.
