We are still homeschooling year round in high school. I floated the idea of taking the entire summer off to see what Caroline would say. (I honestly wasn’t sure.) I asked her if she would be interested in taking the summer off or if she would get bored. She didn’t even have to think about …

This summer Caroline and I are going to spend some time watching films and movies that we can count toward our homeschooling time/credits. I have some in mind, but I thought I would crowd source some ideas from all of you. Feel free to share all your favorites since they will probably be new to …

We are still a few years away from high school, but I confess my understanding of homeschool high school requirements was minimal. Well, actually less than minimal. I’ve devoted so much energy to figuring out spiritedness, giftedness, 2e, dysgrahpia, and a plethora of other things that high school was some far off (scary) thing in …
