We have used Five in a Row {FIAR} from just about the very beginning of our homeschool journey. I have always been a book lover, particularly of good quality children’s books. In fact, I purchased many books before our oldest arrived on the scene. I have an educational background in childhood development/early education {which is […]
Our Schedule 2011/2012
Figuring out how to schedule 6 children in grades 5th, 3rd, 2nd, K/1st, K and pre-K was making my head spin just a bit. It never feels like it will all come together until I finally sit down with paper and pencil. At that point things slowly start to take shape and it all doesn’t […]
Student Planners/Notebooks
Sometimes Levi is anxious to have is own school stuff while the bigger kids are working. I printed off several different things for him to have in his own notebook and work on whenever the mood strikes. A coloring page for each letter of the alphabet. Number coloring pages Monthly theme pages from Catholic Heritage […]
Our School Room 2011/2012
Chalkboard The shelf above our beloved old school chalkboard is a new addition this year. I commissioned my Dad to build and add the shelf, then I purchased the old-fashioned candy containers. I’d like to say this was my original idea, but I found it while doing some internet surfing and pinned it on my […]
Homeschool Planning for Multiple Children
I have struggled over the years to find a homeschooling planner that works for my needs. I’m sure I’m not alone in this, and I have given up finding the perfect ready made planner. I even thought I had to give up finding the perfect printable pages and I really didn’t want to try and […]
Curriculum 2011/2012
Here are our curriculum choices for 2011/2012. I think this year we are using the most structured curriculum that we have used in a few years. Even though we are following a more structured curriculum, I think it still has all of the elements that we love. Lots of read alouds, using real books. Also, […]

He started using Horizons mid-way through the year and has been working steadily through the book ever since. […]
Saving for College
As we are continuing to be more focused with our financial goals, one big topic of conversation has been college. We have saved money all along for all the children, but some have plumper accounts than others. When Jacob was young we were diligent about putting every penny of his birthday/gift monies into his college […]
Geography Revisited
I posted a little while back about our geography plans, or lack thereof. I received some great ideas for ways to further our geography studies. I really do enjoy the natural way geography seems to come up in our everyday discussions. For instance, last week letter T was our letter of the week for the […]
ABC Resources
“word collecting” I wanted to share some of the resources that we have used as we have gone along with our letter of the week program. I post a majority of the things that we do in our Wrapping up the Week posts, but I don’t hit on everything. I’m not really a big fan […]
