I’m back with another planning post – this time for my 13-year-old, who will be doing 7th grade. We are planning an eclectic year with a really wide mix of resources and experiences, many of which my 13-year-old picked out or at least signed off on. This is the joy of homeschooling an older child …

Planning for third/fourth grade
Hello! It’s been a long time since I’ve written here and a long time since I’ve shared much about our homeschool in general in a long time. Last year was a challenging one – my husband started an executive MBA, our kids returned to extracurriculars while we navigated Covid-era challenges and for me the cumulative …
October in our homeschool – 2021
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 in our homeschool -2021
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.

March in our homeschool – 2021
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 …
February in our homeschool – 2021
February is my least favorite month to homeschool. The days are short, we’ve been stuck inside together for too long and patience is in short supply. Normally February is the month I spend exploring local school Web sites to imagine there is a better way than this homeschool gig. But, thanks to the pandemic, there …
January in our homeschool – 2021
This has been such an interesting academic year for us. While it has been an extremely difficult year for us personally as a family, it has also been a really amazing year for our homeschool. It’s been an interesting juxtaposition and I am so grateful that our time learning together can be a source of …
