My baby, my youngest, is starting eighth grade this fall. This will be our last year to homeschool middle school. After this, it is on to the big, bad world of homeschooling high school. Just kidding, high school can be fun to homeschool, too. Our job this year is to get her ready for high… Continue reading Planning for the 2024-2025 school year: 8th grade

Setting up my 2024-2025 planner binder
This has always been an exciting and uncomfortable time of year for me, planner-wise. I am coming to the end of one school year's planner and starting a new one. It is exciting to start something new and fresh. However, change is uncomfortable, especially when it involves shelving the records from the past year. In… Continue reading Setting up my 2024-2025 planner binder

Self-Directed Reading Lists
Every year, I start with the best intents of having well researched reading lists for the girls for their daily independent reading time.

Our spring break week (or monthly week off, whatever you want to call it) and handling boredom
As I have mentioned before in an earlier post, since Christmas, we went back to taking one week per month off from school. It works out nicely for us to take our break this week. The spring break for the local schools would have been a rotten week for us to take a break anyway,… Continue reading Our spring break week (or monthly week off, whatever you want to call it) and handling boredom

So many things that are amazing, and yet I will never get around to using them, but I like having those resources in my pocket.… Continue reading Mensa for Kids and next year’s Pi Day Plan (because we did nothing this year)
