The Home Stretch

By


Our first grandchild is due in four weeks.


To say we are excited is an understatement. We cannot wait to meet our grandson!!


On Monday I took Kyndal out to our new property to take some maternity photos of her. We took photos on the side of the property where her and Collin will build their house in a few years. We got some great shots. She is beautiful!

    Hi there,

    I am a mom of 7 and I've been homeschooling for 9 years. Looking through your blog and seeing how you have your days planned, I have always done things similarly. For history I have always done History of the World, but this year I am going do a year long study of American History. I need some help with resources and that's how came to find your blog. My Google search took me to your 2011 post of an extensive overview of your whole plans and such. The only link that is still current is the "History of Us," DVD series. Is there any way you would be able to help me with current links to what you had on that post? I'm very interested in the student notebooking and the print outs that you actually show in picture below your text for that particular 2011 blog post.

    My name is Shauna and my email is shauna.klip@gmail.com

    I would appreciate any information! Thank you so much for your time, take care,

    Shauna

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
