Here’s to my 3,493th year of homeschooling! We did start school the day after Labor Day, and this is the first year in awhile that I have only one homeschool student.Technically, there was a period when I only had Edie at home while Fulton and Teddy were enrolled in the school district. But this feels…
I’m sick of writing up lesson plans so instead I’ll write a blog post about our curriculum choices! Nineteen years at this game (because I don’t count PreK) and I’m still learning things, but very much looking forward to the year ahead. No deep reflections this year (unlike last year’s post and my other recent…
This will only be my fifth year doing an “official” mid-year homeschool review post out of like, 18 or 19 years of homeschooling. But I’ve found that making this a regular part of my homeschool year has been helpful to do and record, especially as we’ve bounced the younger two in and out of public…
The last time I homeschooled Fulton and Teddy, I went into the year feeling stressed and unprepared. This year, I was determined to have everything well planned and not left to the last minute. I’m happy to say that when we started back on August 28, no one cried and there was almost no yelling!…
St. Bruno’s Homeschool and its class of one, is off to a soft start this week. But, in keeping with tradition, here’s a brief run down of each child and their academic plans for the coming year. Addie, Senior, Cleveland State University Addie’s classes started on Monday. She’s in the Honor’s College this year, and…
Since I’m only homeschooling one child this year, I figured I would just combine my usual curriculum post with whatever else I was writing about. So come for the curriculum, stay for the family photos! Or vice versa. Edith, Grade 11 Unlike Addie and Byron, Edie has no desire to take classes at the local…
I’m sitting in the hospital with Teddy while he recovers from a stomach bug (he’s doing much better), so why not a mid-year homeschool review to make me feel good about all the learning we’ve managed to do up to this point? (With the obligatory affiliate links dropped in at a few spots.) UPDATE: As…
All the homeschoolers in the house, make some noise!!! St. Bruno the Great homeschool has four students this year: Byron, senior; Edie, sophomore; Fulton, 8th grade; and Teddy, 5th grade. We’re going to continue with our classically inspired, “hot mess” style curriculum for the umpteenth year in a row. Let’s jump into all the details…
So I guess last weeks Takes just aren’t happening. Might as well get to this weeks latest, which is a mid-year school progress report! WOOT! (Oh, and of course- AFFILIATE LINKS!) I can’t believe we’ve made it halfway through our year. Knowing we’re on the downward slope will make it easier as we meander through…
We’re wrapping up our second week of school so it’s the perfect time to share my annual curriculum post! It’s littered with affiliate links so feel free to click and toss some pennies in my hat. (More links coming as I get time to add them.) After only homeschooling Edie and Bryon for the last…
I wish I would’ve gotten in the habit of these mid-year (or 2/3 year) review posts earlier into my homeschool blogging game. From August to August it can be hard to remember all the things I changed and reasons for doing so, but after a couple semesters, it’s usually much easier to reflect and make…
The 2018-19 school year was jam packed with major life events and hospitilizations. I’d hoped that after one final hospitalization in June we’d have left all the bugs behind us and could start back in September with a clean, sterile, disease free slate. Instead, my home currently sounds like a tuberculosis sanitarium. Fulton remains healthy, but…
Well, I had three potential topics for this week, NONE of which panned out the way I expected. All were going to be very exciting and WOW inducing and I’m feeling a bit of, “Why can I not get my life together since I’m almost forty?” Not having control over several big projects in my…
