Sometimes things take a turn and school doesn't end up looking like what we think it should and that is just fine.

2022-2023 Homeschool Mom Professional Development
It is also no secret that I love to read. There is something about the fall season that encourages you to slow down and that is what is required for reading well. Normally I am just reading whatever strikes my fancy but this year I made the decision that while I am going to continue to read the fun non-fiction (brain candy) type books, I am also going to focus on my own Homeschool Mom Professional Development.
Mars Hall Weekly Round Up: Week 3
Happy Week 3 friends! Introducing Pre-K2 Each week on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday I get the joy of being able to help care for my 2 year old nephew while his big sister is her for the school day. One of the things that used to happen was that he and Madilynn would hang out… Continue reading Mars Hall Weekly Round Up: Week 3
Mars Hall Weekly Round Up Week 2
I'm going to begin this by stating that I am NOT a fan of Monday holidays. It really just throws everything off completely and makes staying on track with things so difficult. With that being said I will say that even with it being a short week things went pretty well over all.
Mars Hall Weekly Round-Up

I always have big dreams and big plans for the first week of school and then by the time Thursday hits I feel like we are lucky to still be alive.

2022-2023 Curriculum Overview: 7th Grade Choices
Last week I shared with you the skills based curriculum we are using for 5th grade so this week I'm going to be rounding it off with what we will be using for 7th grade. I will be 100% honest when I tell you that this 7th grade curriculum is no joke! I never really realized just how much of a jump there was between 6th and 7th grade, especially when it comes to the language arts aspect but gosh its a jump!
2022-2023 Homeschool Curriculum Overview: 5th Grade Choices
This week, I will share what we will be using for our 5th grade "skills based" subjects. Skills based subjects are things such as math, reading, and language arts that have components that have to build upon one another. These are the subjects that have to have some type of understanding of one concept before moving on to the next concept. Skills based subjects are the areas where I will more than likely have each kid doing a different thing simply because they are all at different mastery levels for the various subjects.
2022-2023 Homeschool Curriculum Overview: Family Learning Cycle
One of the best parts of using the My Father's World curriculum is that for the "content based" subjects, things like Bible, History, Science, Music, Art and the like rather than attempting to teach each kid something separate we all do those subjects together as a whole. We all read the same books, do the same activities, and have some wonderful conversations together centered around what we are all hearing, doing, and seeing together. This not only helps my own sanity but it helps to draw us as a family together as we share experiences and make memories together.
