Copywork For Future Heroes
One of the things we choose to use in our homeschool to improve handwriting, spelling, learn use of punctuation & other grammar skills is copywork. Over the years we’ve pulled copywork from the books we’ve been reading, various curriculum, and quotes that really strike a cord with us. There are those days, though, when I totally forget what I’m doing and don’t remember to provide … [Read more...] about Copywork For Future Heroes
James Towne: Struggle for Survival
This month I had the pleasure to include a wonderful book in our homeschooling.

I had the pleasure of reviewing Dino O'Dell and the T-rex All-Stars new CD "Outer Space" and let me tell you IT IS FUN! My four-year-old LOVED it! He kept asking when we were going to meet Dino! There are 12 songs on the CD with the majority being around 3-1/2 minutes long. The tunes are catchy and the words are full of things to learn (for the most part).

Teaching Textbooks Review
My oldest son is in 4th grade this year. Math has always been the dreaded subject in our house. He is a very bright boy, but when you hand him a worksheet with a ton of problems on it, he immediately tunes it out. We have tried several math programs over the last few years and with each one came more discouragement. We were both beginning to get very frustrated. After searching high and low, … [Read more...] about Teaching Textbooks Review

It has been a solid addition to not only our language arts curriculum, but also has reinforced our history … [Read more...] about Building Language: Latin Stems and Roman Architecture
