Literature Selections, Curriculum Choices, and Homeschool Schedules

Every year we receive this question, and it seems that especially this year it’s been tough making decisions regarding literature and curriculum. But how can that be? We graduated our oldest in May, so we should know what we’re doing by now. And yet… each of our children are so different, and in my heart, […]

Fitting Words: Rhetoric for Christian Students

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” Proverbs 25:11, NKJV Scripture has much to say about what we say. As Christians, we’re challenged to speak righteously, graciously, and appealingly. We are to encourage and edify one another (1 Thessalonians 5:11), to share the Good News with the world (Mark […]

Vocabulary with Latin & Greek Roots!

The sixth grader begins his weekly vocabulary lesson. Within moments, two high school students and a first grader drop everything to crowd around him. As I witness this 15-minute blip in our week, a favorite quote from Plato comes to mind: “Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.” This leaves […]

Mission: World Wonders Curriculum Plan

We’ve memorized history sentences. We’ve memorized science facts. We’ve memorized geography locations. These have all been valuable pieces of information for us to learn as we practice the skill of memorization. Yet… something was still missing for us in the elementary years. Our family needed more. For the past decade, I’ve developed reading plans and […]

Mission: Lasting Liberty Curriculum Plan

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NKJV) As we consider the high calling of educating our children, we realize that we’re not just exposing them to unrelated and disjointed facts that have no deeper meaning. We’re teaching our children a worldview […]

Middle School and Mission: Great Commission

Sometimes it seems this calling – our vision and desire to help other homeschool families – far exceeds our capabilities. It’s funny how we can so easily default to trusting in ourselves as we pursue God’s call. We’re forced to remember that God is greater. Philippians 4:13. I’m thankful for grace. In the coming years, […]
