Reading Skills Games & Workbooks

September 21, 2018 By: amyswanderingcomment

Disclosure: I received free curriculum for review purposes and am being compensated for my time. I am not required to give a positive review.  As always, I am sharing my honest opinion with you. 

Reading Eggs Essential Skills

Do you have a child who loves workbooks? I do! My youngest has enjoyed filling in colorful pages since she was little bitty. I would buy her workbooks from the dollar store when she was a toddler so she could do “school” like her older siblings.

I have to admit that I am a bit of a workbook fan myself, but I try to limit the use of them in our home because so many of them are just busywork. That is not the case with the Reading Eggs Essential Reading Skills Workbooks. They cover one important reading skill each day in lessons that only take about 15 minutes. [Read more…]

Christian Homeschool Health & Nutrition Curriculum

Christian Homeschool Health Nutrition Curriculum

We have used Apologia’s elementary science curriculum for years, so I was excited to see their new high school Health and Nutrition curriculum because I knew it would have a Christian worldview. I want my kids to learn science through the lens of God’s amazing design and wisdom for our lives.

It is important for our children to learn to take care of themselves physically, but their mental and spiritual health is just as important. Exploring Creation with Health and Nutrition covers all of those bases and then some. [Read more…]

CTCMath Review: An End to Our Middle School Math Woes

August 23, 2018 By: amyswanderingcomment

Disclosure: I received free curriculum for review purposes and am being compensated for my time. I am not required to give a positive review.  As always, I am sharing my honest opinion with you. 

CTCMath Review

Have you heard of CTCMath? A couple of my friends use this online math curriculum and encouraged me to try it out. I kind of brushed them off because we already have a shelf full of Teaching Textbook programs that all of my older kids have used. Those cost a pretty penny so I wasn’t interested in trying something new. Don’t fix what ain’t broke, right?

Well, guess what … this past year it broke. My 7th grader was really struggling with math and I knew she needed to try a different approach. For a split second, I insanely considered just quitting math for the year … that’s how bad it was.

Once I returned to my senses, I remembered how much my friends liked CTCMath so I decided to sign up for a free trial  to see if it would work for my daughter. [Read more…]

English Communication Skills: An Open and Go Curriculum from Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum

April 13, 2018 By: amyswanderingcomment

*Disclosure: I received free curriculum for review purposes and am being compensated for my time. I am not required to give a positive review.  As always,  I am sharing my honest opinion with you. 

Paradigm English Communication Skills

In my ongoing quest to find a Language Arts curriculum that comfortably fits my kids, I decided to use the last two months of our school year to try out Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum (PAC) with my 7th grade daughter & 9th grade son.

I used the Literature and Philosophy and Economics courses for my two oldest daughters, so I had high hopes that PAC’s English Communication Skills would be a good fit for my younger kids. [Read more…]

A Work at Home Job for Homeschoolers

November 7, 2017 By: amyswanderingcomment

VIPKIDS sponsored this post, and as always I am giving my honest opinion. I am not required to give a positive review. I think this is an amazing opportunity for homeschool parents to work from home!

Many homeschoolers struggle to pay the bills with only one working parent, not realizing that there are many ways to earn money from home. (Like blogging about homeschooling 🙂 )

One fantastic opportunity is teaching English to Chinese students through VIPKID. It is an online English education platform allowing children (4-12) in China to take classes from North American teachers, all from the comfort of home.

Work Part-Time

You obviously know how to teach children, so why not earn money working a few hours a week using the skills you’ve learned as a homeschooler? [Read more…]
