This fall has been a busy one, and I’m just now getting a moment in mid-November to reflect back on October in our homeschool. September was a wild adjustment to our family’s return to in-person activities and it took some trial and error to find the right combination of activities to meet everyone’s needs (as …
September! Woof. This September was the Septemberiest September I’ve ever experienced. Not only was there the normal adjustment to having regular commitments again after a slow, laid-back summer, but we adjusted to getting places at a set time again after 18 months of having pretty much none of that in our life.

I covered Ancient Greek in a six-week block, with three weeks focused exclusively on Greek myths and the next three weeks focused on history. There are …

Hello. I am tired. I don’t really feel up to writing a summary of last month’s homeschool, but I do like having written these summaries. So here we go. It may be brief. The anniversary of when the pandemic hit home was March 13 for our family. I had gone to a barre3 class and …
