Math U See Homeschool Math Curriculum Winner

So far the Math U See homeschool math curriculum has been a winner for our family. My school age boys are now in 2nd and 4th grade and this will be our first full homeschooling year. We did homeschool most of last year but just used an online curriculum that exposed many knowledge gaps that needed to be addressed. I have started both boys in the Alpha book as recommended and it has done a fantastic job of filling in knowledge gaps. They loved using the blocks at first but don't really care for...

The Home Instruction Curriculum Teaching Your little one At Home

December 23, 2011

Home schooling is definitely preferred by some mothers and fathers. Some parents want to make sure that their child is becoming all the schooling required even though he is lodging and learning at home instead of learning within the classroom. They believe that they’re able to control the actual curriculum better. Furthermore, they want to impart their unique values that are required in molding a child. They...

Homeschooling in Washington State: Option 1 - Homeschool ...

This is not legal advice. As someone who lives in a state that is highly regulated, I cannot emphasize enough the need for you to advocate for yourself and make a point to know your state laws. While the school district will most likely provide you with a printed copy of the laws and regulations for home schooling, a local home schooling group can be a valuable asset when it comes to navigating your way through the system.

Compulsory Attendance: You are under compulsory attendance law from when...

Yahoo groups for Buying/Selling Curriculum

In my last article I briefly mentioned that Yahoo groups were an excellent place to buy/sell curriculum. I soon realized that a brief mention really didn’t begin to paint an accurate picture, so in this article I’m going to be a little more specific.

You will need a Yahoo account (free) to join a Yahoo group (Yahoo groups homepage). Most groups are moderated because of the huge amounts of spam, so you will have to apply for membership.

First, try to decide if you are looking for a specific...

Homeschooling newly adopted kids | Owlhaven

There are so many possible ways to homeschool, and to do it well.  As you are starting out, you won’t really know lots about your kids’ learning styles and abilities.  So plunge in with something that seems reasonably simple and don’t worry too much.   Just get to know your kids and gradually see how learning goes.

At first I would plan to spend lots of time just living and doing things together with lots of talk along the way.   Cook together, play games, go for walks, etc.  Any...

Reading Classics Aloud: Robinson Crusoe Links - Homeschool ...

Our 7 and 9 year old boys were memorized every minute as I read Robinson Crusoe, they actually balked when I stopped reading  (the reading took three nights).

Classics: Should You Read the Originals or Adaptations?

Literature for the masses or literature for the lazy? Does it matter? We used a children’s adaptation to read Robinson Crusoe (apologies to Charlotte Mason – she prefers the originals).

Long chapters and difficult language can overwhelm and obscure the richness of the story....

Making the Choice: When Typical School Doesn’t Fit Your Atypical Child

By Corin Barsily Goodwin, Mika Gustavson MFT, Sarah J. Wilson

As the school year begins, many parents are sending their children to school for the first time, hoping those children will thrive in their new environment. Some, however, will come to discover that they are the parents of gifted children, who may also have secondary learning issues, for whom the traditional educational system does not provide a good fit.
