History for 4th Grade recommendations…
What would you recommend for fourth grade history is a question that came up recently. The wheels in my brain started turning and as I fielded text messages and thought about emails I could forward or send, I thought about how I might be able to organize some thoughts into a blog post to help others that may have a similar question. For reference, this year, I will be teaching ninth, sixth, third, kindergarten, and preschool. We have been homeschooling from the beginning. 4th Grade History Recommendations There are so many options for homeschool material these days and truly it can be done without curriculum, however, if you are looking…

January Diary Post
If I just start writing, then it is as if I never disappeared, right? Let’s recap, shall we… I stopped participating in external review organizations. I added a fifth child to my duckling repertoire. We decided to go with school-in-a-box plus other frosting on top. My Enginerd is working from home, which is blissfully wonderful. We have taken hiking adventures and cabin camping to the mountains of North Carolina, east Tennessee, and camping journeys through northern Arkansas, and more. We are loving off-roading and Overlanding. When I say camping, I mean tent and freezing 2 am bathroom runs in a full moon, no glamping for us. I now have two…

Mid-year Memoria Scholé Academy: 2019-2020
Our grades have been submitted for 2019-2020 spring to Homelife Academy and we are all registered and set for the 2020-2021 school year adding on a third official student. We, pretty much, school year-round so I still have the summer semester grades to submit later on. As per usual, submitting grades always makes me question everything about where we are, what our pace is, progress, changes, and so on that are necessary to make. Right now, I am teaching a ten-year-old fifth-grade daughter, eight-year-old second-grade spirited daughter, and a five-year-old self-paced kindergarten son. In the background, I have a newly three-year-old red-head and a seven-month-old almost crawler. Officially, we are…

The Good & the Beautiful LA 1 – complete
View this post on Instagram We have a finish! 📚 This is my *spirited child. She was determined that there was no point to reading and didn’t really get to reading until she was about seven-years-old. She started this book in February 2019 and finished today, June 2020. With skipping May and June 2019, August, October, and December I think overall she did pretty well. Her assessments show obvious improvement. We are getting there! The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts & Literature: Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Writing, Literature, Grammar and Punctuation, and Art Appreciation. This is not all we use in our tool bet. She is also still…
