Our New Apologia Homeschool Reading Curriculum

August 18, 2017 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.

We have used Apologia science curriculum for years in our homeschool, and last year added in the What We Believe series. I was so excited to discover that they have a new reading curriculum by Debra Bell. (She also wrote one of my favorite homeschooling how-to guides: The Ultimate Guide to Homeschooling.)

Homeschooling Through the Seasons Basket Giveaway

August 7, 2017 By: amyswandering61 Comments

One of my favorite things about homeschooling is being able to immerse ourselves into each season.

Each time the calendar page flips we read old & new favorite books, explore the history behind the holidays, make yummy seasonal treats, practice grammar with holiday Mad Libs, and do some Funschool lessons.

(If you need seasonal homeschool ideas, I have tons of them saved on Pinterest.)

For this year’s iHomeschool Network Back to Homeschool Basket Giveaway, I have put together a Homeschooling Through the Seasons Gift Basket. [Read more…]

Another Year of Homeschool Crafts

July 30, 2017 By: amyswanderingcomment

I am great at finding seasonal craft projects to do during our homeschool year, but I am terrible at actually following through with them. Last year I had a light bulb moment and planned out a whole year of homeschool crafts plus a planner for the supply lists. It turned out to be my most popular post.

I had several requests to come up with a list for the 2017-18 school year, so here it is – Another Year of Homeschool Crafts! Don’t forget to grab your free craft planner at the end.

I have a few prerequisites for the crafts we do: I want inexpensive, easily-obtained supplies, and I prefer crafts that can be played with or will become part of our seasonal decor.

You are invited to join me on another year-long crafting adventure. I am assigning weeks, not dates, to each project so these plans will still be useful in future years. You can also still use the projects from last year because those aren’t dated either.
