Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
This is the first dictionary of the American English language. Written by Noah Webster, considered the founding father of American Christian education, this dictionary is an important asset to any homeschool library. I refer to it in our studies daily and Mr. Webster’s definitions have spurred many rabbit trails and offered a lot of insight. The green pages in the front of the book are a … [Read more...] about Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
Latin for Children, Primer A
When I first attempted to use this curriculum, I had only the Primer. Boy was I lost! In fact, I was ready to simply toss the book in the trash until I realized there are other parts that go along with the Primer - like an Answer Key, an Activity Book, a Latin Reader, and most importantly (to me anyway) the DVD Lessons and Chant CD's. Yes, I felt like quite a dingbat once I realized how much … [Read more...] about Latin for Children, Primer A

Hands-on History Fun
For some of us the idea of doing hands-on projects with our children can be daunting. I am neither crafty nor artistic, and I don't enjoy making and cleaning up messes during the course of our school day. However, I have come to the conclusion that with a little bit of forethought and planning, including hands-on activities in our history lessons can be painless and fun. Most importantly, the … [Read more...] about Hands-on History Fun
The Mighty Works of God: Self Government
History textbooks have a tendency to be boring, but I discovered a series of about American history to treasure. These books do not contain dry lists of dates or a simple retelling of events. Instead, they focus on the causes behind events: people and Providence. The Mighty Works of God consists of three volumes for the early elementary years. They are not listed by grade-level, but gradually … [Read more...] about The Mighty Works of God: Self Government
It’s a Zoo Out There! Apologia Review
There are so many interesting animals to learn about. Our favorite family field trip is to the local zoo. We have been going since our oldest was an infant and still enjoy it 8 years later with five children. It will come as no surprise to you, then, to find that we love studying animals in homeschool.

Considering God’s Creation Curriculum Review
I’m one of those homeschool moms who can never use a curriculum exactly as it is planned. I regularly tweak, skip, and add. So I admit that I’ve not used Considering God's Creation as it is designed, but I’ve loved having it on my shelf as a resource for supplementing science and nature studies. Considering God's Creation is written for 2nd through 6th grades and is flexible enough for teaching … [Read more...] about Considering God’s Creation Curriculum Review
