Last Day

By
Today is Dawson's last day in public school. I am sure it is as surreal for him as it is for me.

    Way to go on homeschooling your son! My husband is a High School teacher and we have even had conversations about homeschooling because the horror stories he brings home, they scare me to death (and my kids are only 2 and 4 months lol!)

    I ran across your blog on 'Or So She Says' and felt that you were writing about my experience with my 13 year old son. I also live in Oklahoma and chose for all the same reasons and more to homeschool my son. This August, we will be beginning our second year and I am still learning about what works best for us. I really look forward to following your blog and wish you all the best. Although not every day is peaches and cream...it is still very rewarding and I thank God every day that I have the opportunity to spend this vital time restoring a love of learning in my son.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

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...
