Marvelous Monday – Logic
My family does not “classically” educate. That is, we do not use the Classical Education method. Personally, I think we’re pretty classic, in our own eclectic way. I know that those who do prefer the Classical Education model, consider Logic as a separate and distinct subject. I’m pretty sure you can read more about…

Marvelous Monday – Science
We are young earth, seven day creationists here. You need to know that right up front. Our children know that the history of the earth’s origins is found in Genesis. They also know that they live in a fallen, sin-filled world and that some scientists have turned their hearts against God, pursuing…

Marvelous Monday – Spelling & Handwriting
I have four children. Two of my children are fairly natural spellers, and two have a difficult time with spelling. You’ll not wrangle which two are which out of me! Though I’ve used some graded spellers in the past, I am now completely sold on Spelling Power. Though the initial $60 investment may seem…

Marvelous Monday – English & Grammar
There are a couple of things I want to mention right up front. It is important that our children learn to express themselves well. It is vital that they are able to communicate their ideas verbally. It is equally important that they are able to convey their thoughts in written form. Our children need…

Marvelous Monday – Literature

Marvelous Mondays – Math
Math! Does the very word strike terror in the heart of most homeschooling moms? I hope not. However, there are oodles of math programs in the homeschool marketplace these days, with more new programs becoming available every year, and that can be very confusing. Are they all the same? When buying math curricula is…

Coming Soon
This coming Monday, March 30, Kendra (Preschoolers and Peace) and I will begin a series of reviews of homeschool curricula. We’re calling it Marvelous Monday. Each Monday, until we run out of topics, we will discuss what we’ve used and liked, as well as what we’ve used and not liked, in a particular subject…

Super Tuesday! – Library Builders
Do you live in a Super Tuesday state? We do! While I very much appreciate the freedom we have in this country to vote our conscience for our elected officials, as well as for other ballot measures, I have not enjoyed the half dozen or so recorded messages I’ve said, “hello” to today alone! Our…
