Homeschool Open House

There is a blog I read that is having a Homeschool Open House. I thought it was a neat idea and decided to join in.
We have four children; three of which are currently homeschooled. We have a daughter that will be starting 6th grade and twin sons that will be starting 4th grade. I guess you could call me an eclectic teacher. I like to use a wide range of curriculum. I like to use a lot of living books for history and science. After trying many math programs I like Math-U-See the best. This year I'm going to give Easy Grammar a try again. And I'm going to come up with my own spelling program using Natural Speller. For history and science I'll be using My Father's World. When I began to teach my children history I started with creation. This year we will begin to study the explorers and American history. I can't wait! I like My Father's World's use of living books and I like how they have it laid out for you. It also leaves room to add what you want. I like how they integrate Biblical events with world events. Of course Cassidy will continue to play the piano, Levi the trumpet and hopefully Ezra will begin to learn guitar.

I found this site that has a lot of free homeschool curricula, literature and text books. Including these great grammar worksheets.


I like to try to use a schedule but it doesn't always work that way. Managers of Their Home is a great resource for getting a schedule together.

This year will be a challenge having a toddler running around. It will be interesting to see how that goes.

Well, I guess that's about all I have to share.
