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. Being a unit study family, we have made many units on our own. This past year we found a … [Read more...] about It’s a Zoo Out There! Apologia Review

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
Remembering God’s Awesome Acts
I bet many of you are familiar with Considering God's Creation by Susan Mortimer as a science curriculum, but have you also heard of her history curricula, Remembering God's Awesome Acts and Remembering God's Chosen Children? Of the two history books, I've only used Remembering God's Awesome Acts, so it's the one I'll review here. But, as much as I liked it, I won't hesitate to recommend … [Read more...] about Remembering God’s Awesome Acts

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is a question most children love to answer. Those answers change many times through the years. When I came across a sale for the Wanna Be series from The Old Schoolhouse, which are unit studies about different careers, I grabbed my debit card and ordered. We love unit studies and I had nothing for careers in yet. The series covers the following ten … [Read more...] about Careers Units for Kids – Wanna Be’s Review
Language of God Grammar Series from Catholic Heritage Curricula
Language arts covers such a dizzying array of subjects -- from spelling to composition, from grammar to vocabulary, just to name a few. While, for whatever reason, we have gone primarily with secular sources for much of our language arts materials, we happily use Language of God for Little Folks from Catholic Heritage Curricula for grammar instruction. The Language of God books take a gentle … [Read more...] about Language of God Grammar Series from Catholic Heritage Curricula
High School @ Home, You Can Do It! by Diana Johnson
When I started homeschooling over 6 years ago, one of the questions that people asked me was, "What about high school?" I remember quite distinctly thinking that the question was ridiculous given that my oldest child was then going into first grade. Alas, children grow up all too quickly. Now my oldest child is going into 7th grade next year and the question, "What about high school?" no longer … [Read more...] about High School @ Home, You Can Do It! by Diana Johnson
