Art is one of those subjects that many homeschool moms find challenging. If she isn't particularly skilled in art, it can be intimidating. If she feels overwhelmed by all there is to do, it is easy for art to get pushed to the side as less important.

We had the opportunity to try it out and I'd like to share with you everything it has to offer as well as a peek at what Caroline did!Our family received … [Read more...] about Art History Lessons for Kids

I've heard many homeschoolers mention over the years how much their kids love Reading Eggs, but for some reason we never used it. When Caroline and I had the opportunity to try it out, we were interested since we always like looking for fun ways to learn on the computer!(Truth be told, I'm not sure how homeschooling would have gone for us without access to the internet. Caroline learns so well by utilizing technology and I'm thankful I'm homeschooling now and not fifteen years ago! It really is a game-changer and sanity-saver for me!)I … [Read more...] about Online Reading Instruction for Homeschoolers

Online Math for Relaxed Homeschoolers

We've been relaxed homeschoolers bordering on unschoolers for most of Caroline's elementary years. We've done some math with worksheets, workbooks, and play websites, but it has been more "living math" in terms of doing math when it matters in real life.

I also knew that she wouldn't understand some terminology used in standardized tests or, for example, when we had her gifted testing done. There … [Read more...] about Online Math for Relaxed Homeschoolers
