“Commonwealth… a community founded for the common good.” I put the definition here because I didn’t know what commonwealth meant at first (except the name does say it all)…and maybe YOU are wondering what it means too. I dunno???!!! Sooooo we are trying something new this year and we joined a commonwealth. I am beyond […]
Our first day of school was actually awesome!!!! We woke up and I made breakfast (which is a treat by itself!)….coffee cake (one of their favs). The kids all got ready, we took 1st day pictures, we went over where everything was in their desks and what is expected of them and talked about what […]
My little school room got a small facelift this year…and I love it! The kids all got new desks! I have been waiting for Ryker to join us this year so that I could get these desks that would fit all 3 kids perfectly. I followed in the footsteps of Confessions of a Homeschooler (my […]
This year has been a little tricky figuring out the schedule for the kiddos. We have 2 big changes….1) Ryker is being added to our classroom and 2) we joined a commonwealth that will take our whole Wednesday, so we only 4 days of learning. I am hoping these schedules work out for us, but […]
I love lists…mostly because if I do not write it down it will more than likely be forgotten and not happen. So in homeschool I am a list queen. I like to keep things in order and to know what is expected of me that day…and the kids. In our homeschool room (which I will […]
I have changed our curriculum many times over the years. When I started, I started homeschooling in the middle of the school year and so I needed something quick, easy and ready for me to start using. We started through an online K-12 program, Utah Online School, and it was great! Even though we were […]
I always love to see what other peoples homeschool schedule looks like! We have a pretty good groove going on this school year. My kids are such morning people…they are up early (like before 7 most days). We start breakfast around 7:30 a.m., get dressed and tidy up and we are ready to start school […]
I get asked this question ALL.The.TIME! At the beginning I didn’t really know what to say because my reasons “why” were so personal. But now 3.5 years later…I am happy to share! At the beginning, I had many experiences with being ashamed to tell people that I homeschooled. Especially my extended family. My immediate family, […]
Let me introduce you to my 2015-2016 school year students! Trynitee: This girl is pretty dang awesome! She is currently in 3rd grade this school year. She is the reason why we started to homeschool. She is sweet and sensitive. She notices EVERYThing…no secrets around her! She loves science and geography….doesn’t love math and writing […]
Ahhhhh! It is May and that means that our homeschool year is winding down! I am so excited to wake up and be able to go directly into my yard to garden and keep up with all those dang weeds that multiply and divide overnight…each.and.every.night! Aaaannnnndddd …. don’t tell the students …. but momma needs […]
