The Comprehensive Guide to a Middle School Literature, Writing, and Grammar Curriculum
This year will be my first year with a middle schooler. That means it’s time to take on a new challenge: Middle School Curriculum. In this curriculum, the classes need to be rigorous enough to prepare for high school, introductory enough to not overwhelm, yet engaging enough to keep learning fun. That can be a tall order for kids hitting puberty!
 My oldest child turns 12 this year, putting…

Why I Hate Choosing a Social Studies Curriculum
Oh My Word.  How many times have I tried to find EXACTLY what I’m looking for in a curriculum and not be able to find it.  Now, let’s take math.  Math isn’t too hard.  As long as it has spiral review, I’m good.  Same with reading.  If it has interesting stories with a variety of genres, that will suffice.  But social studies?  Why is it so hard to combine famous people of history, geography,…

How To Create Easy Homeschooling Portfolios (Free Printable)
At the end of our school year, my son brought home his school portfolio from our tutorial. Our lower grade teachers always take the time to put together the most precious books of our little ones.
I’m not the type of mom who would put these special books together, so homeschooling my kids could’ve meant missing out on these treasures if it hadn’t been done by our wonderful tutorial teachers.

10 Tips and Tricks To Involve Your Kids In Chores

But all of that changed when I began to take on more responsibilities outside of our own home.  As part of my New Year’s resolution, I began…
