I promised a long time ago to talk more about our homeschooling. Since we’re coming up on a new school year I thought I’d better get my act in gear and answer more of your questions. (We’re starting August 3. Read this post from last year to understand more about why I like to start so early!) Here’s the question I’ll cover today: How do you design your curriculum? Do you do the pre-packaged stuff or customize your own? I guess I do a little bit of both

Homeschool Hubbub: What Curriculum?

It’s time for one of my favorite posts of the year: our next school year’s curriculum list! As homeschoolers, don’t we all enjoy taking a peek at what others are using in the upcoming year? I may add to or take away from our list as we get into full swing, but, for now, here is our 2009-2010 school year curriculum: Bible: Bible Study Guide for All Ages — Finally, we’ll be on Volume 2!

Our 2009-2010 Curriculum

June is the time of year when many local libraries and other bookstores offer Summer Reading Programs. If school is out for summer in your house, these programs can put some oomph and education into your lazy summer days. If you happen to be a year-round homeschooler (like yours truly), it’s also a great way to add a little spice and motivation to your school day!

Between now and midnight tonight, everything at Vision Forum is on sale for 25% to 50% off. This is a great time to build out your home school library with some core curriculum supplements. We have hundreds of items that fall into this category, but let me mention just a few classic and historical items that I believe would be helpful to any Christian home school family.

Home Schoolers: Why Tonight May Be One of the Best Nights To Build Your Curriculum

Being a homeschooling parent, I look to find as many valuable resources as I can to help me be the best teacher I can be for my children.

Another Case for Homeschooling This post and video at BelchSpeak has gotten a lot of attention. Teachers do teach values even if they think they are having a balanced discussion. They will not necessarily be your values. This is a video of Diantha Harris, a lifelong democrat and avid Barack Obama supporter. She is also a lousy schoolteacher, as is evidenced by the mushmouthed kids in her class. And instead of concentrating on grammar and English, math and science, she abuses and ridicules any

The Homeschooling challenge These days my routine, if I can even call it that, has drastically changed. Aside from the adjustment of adding baby number six to our midst, I am home-schooling the kids. Did I just say that? I have to re-read the last sentence to make sure it’s actually me home-schooling the kids and not a fictional character. Oh, but wait, as I look around and notice that my house is in a permanent state of disarray I know without the shadow of a doubt that yes, I am indeed home-
