3 Reasons I Teach My Middle Schoolers to Write Like Reporters

I found a struggle with my children when they were in late elementary school. They loved to write and had good things to say, but they wandered throughout their paper from this subject to that subject. I couldn’t get them to focus and stay on topic. Enter Newspaper Writing! It was the perfect way to

Well Grounded in God’s Word, Mama

The Bible resource we use is . . . the Bible. As soon as our kids can read Genesis 1:1, they get their own large print Bible and off we go! This is the most important textbook in our homeschool. Here are just seven reasons why. 1. Important for Our Conviction for Homeschooling  What do you say

Fitting It All In, Mama

Hey Mama, Fitting it all in can be a real challenge some days. Today, I had to take my younger kids to the McDonald’s Play Place so I could get some work done. But the most important thing that helps me get anything accomplished is standing on God’s promises and asking Him what I need to fit

Back to Homeschool…Already?!, Mama?

I really need a fresh start, which is why planning for the new school year brings great refreshment, and it comes right when I feel like I need to just scrap everything and start over! Anyone else feel that way?  Some of you plan years in advance what you will be studying and the curriculum you will

The Benefits of Unit Studies, Mama

I never considered myself the “fun” unit study mom. I am still more of a textbook/workbook person.

Are You Qualified to Teach High School, Mama?

Hey Mama, Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I qualified to teach high school?” If so, then consider these questions: – Did God lead you to homeschool your children in the first place? – Has homeschooling been good for your family and your children (most of the time—grin)? – Are the reasons you began homeschooling

Homeschool Student Notebooks

It’s that time of year when we start to purchase our supplies for the upcoming school year.  There is nothing quite like shopping for new pencil boxes and colorful erasers, fresh markers, and packs of notebook paper. As you venture out to shop or sit at home and scroll, I have a suggestion for your
