6th Grade Year in Review – Homeschool Curriculum Choices

Jun132017

Hands-down Zachary's favorite subject again for the year was science (and much of that was tied into what he worked on with EEME).

A Beanbag Your Family Will LOVE!

Jun82017

In our home I'm not much for clutter, knick-knacks, or items that do not have a specific purpose (or dual purpose). If it's something that will just take up space, it's likely that item will find another home quickly. More recently something was introduced into our home, and while it takes up a little more space, it has become so very well loved - dare I even say, coveted. Every time I … [Continue reading...]

4th Grade Year in Review – Homeschool Curriculum Choices

Jun62017

It is always VERY helpful for me to sit back and reflect via a few blog posts on what worked (and what didn't work) during our homeschool time. While sometimes I can be really hard on myself in some areas, it's always good to see where we can improve in areas - or where we really excelled.  Looking back also helps me with my overall look at the upcoming year too. You can see all of our … [Continue reading...]
