![]() ![]() I filled out forms but deliberately did not pay because I am so on the fence. I have been riddled with this for 2 weeks now. I feel stuck right now and it’s registration time. I used a Charter school curriculum and though I liked it it lacked Christ and that is probably why it was a battle before I gave up and dumped her in a “great Christian school.” I am worried about pulling her out because she loves it and I do not want this to backfire or reflect badly or put her back in any way. I am going to look into these things you ladies have used. Not that there will not be ups and downs. I will have preschool and 2nd grade next year and I know we can do it luckily my daughter is way better a student than I am a teacher since I scramble with a curriculum. ![]() I am desperate to find something new for homeschooling that is not so regimented and works for us. I have seen them put my sweet sweet daughter’s little fire out several times and that turns my furnace up! Yes I have gone toe to toe with them 2x now and I am ready for a 3rd. (I still have much to learn) I also enrolled her in an Awana program (she is 6) I still have a problem with school’s and it just fries me that even a private school is so legalistic. HUGE red flag! School taught her more about God and Jesus than I could have. I could not be more proud she’s amazing but She trusts school over her parents now. she flowed right in and her A+ and S+ are all she brings home on the report cards. I just put my daughter in Christian private school after homeschooling for half the year. We plan to continue using all of these next year as well. We use My Father’s World Curriculum, along with Saxon Math, and Apologia science as well as reading countless classical literature books. Then last week he finally decided that he likes me being home and he prefers my company to the babysitter. At the beginning of my time at home my youngest would tell me how he preferred the babysitter to me. Then my youngest son is starting to read three letter words. ![]() It has been a struggle for him as he struggled with some neurological issues for a while. Our biggest success was that my oldest son was finally able to grasp reading. It was my first year to get to be home as main teacher instead of my husband and I sharing the responsibilities (PTL for growing my husband’s business to this point). We experienced ups and downs as well as frustration and joy, but overall I think it has been a good year. If you homeschooled this year – how did it go? Is there anything you loved and would like to recommend? Share it with us! Tomorrow I’ll share pictures of us doing school at home. (if you are reading this in an email or feedreader – click here to view the video) Since the video from Part 3 has changed, I thought I’d make an updated video about our homeschool changes this year (including some samples of what Classical Conversations School work looks like) and the one change we plan to make for next school year. Part 5 – Sheltering Children and My Experience in Public Schools Part 3 – Our Daily Homeschool Schedule and Curriculum – we have changed curriculums this year – the updated video below explains it all! Last spring I did a 5 part video series with some of our thoughts on homeschooling. We also used the “Rod and the Staff” English, Grammar, Phonics and Handwriting curriculum and Saxon Math Workbooks. Then we went to the cafeteria for lunch! Alex and his buddies! The kids LOVED getting to play here every week!! When class ended at noon the children went to play on some indoor slides (inside the church where we meet) for 30 minutes. Weekly 2 Minute Presentation Alexis really improved by the end of the year! Weekly Science ExperimentĮach week all the students did a 2 minute presentation on an assigned topic. All of the mothers attend and stay with their children. Some of the subjects we covered in class were history, geography, latin, math, grammar, anatomy, geomotry, music, art, and science. After looking over the curriculum – we were excited to join! This group divided into 4 classes after opening sessionĮvery Tuesday for 24 weeks my children attended this class from 9am-12pm. But then we heard of this amazing group of homeschoolers in our area that meets weekly – and they were doing a curriculum called Classical Conversations. For our first 2 years of homeschooling we used a curriculum called K12. Last August we embarked on a new homeschooling journey. ![]()
