It’s that time of year again…time to settle down and finalize homeschool curriculum choices…at least for this month. You would think after more than a decade of homeschooling, I’d be a pro at this. But I put it off every year until I’m under the wire. Thankfully, it’s done…

August 17, 2014 at 10:44 pmThank you for sharing this list. I’m interested in your thoughts on Movies as Literature. Is this the first time you’re using it? The majority of our high school literature has been Progeny Press. Would like to change it up a bit.
I think I’ll get Teaching Toolbox for 9th grade too!

September 9, 2014 at 11:23 amThis is our first time using it. We’ve only gone through one movie so far, so it is too early for an opinion, but so far we like it.
I’ll update later in the year.

February 23, 2015 at 10:06 pmI have come back to your curriculum list so many times! I have a rising 8th grader and I am a bit freaked out! lol I also have several dyslexics, struggling learners so that puts a spin on it all. I really like your curriculum set up…it seems doable!

March 1, 2016 at 4:31 pmHow do you manage your time with each child especially if they struggle with a certain subject? I have 4 kids and my oldest is 6th grade but really has a hard time with math. I also was never great at math so I feel super inadequate teaching him. Any curriculum suggestions or time management ideas? Also, does your curriculum break the bank cause that seems like a lot of books! I’ve been homeschooling for 5 years but I feel like something’s gotta change in our daily schedule for next fall. Just not sure what. Thanks for your help!
