We were lead by God to homeschool. I had never thought I would be a homeschool mom, we
started homeschooling our daughters last fall. It was very scary and overwhelming at first, but I
had a wonderful friend who helped me through my questions and concerns.
We used purchased curriculum last year but this year we put our curriculum together ourselves.
We separate the subjects into monthly unit studies. We cover Science, World History, Creative
Writing, Math, Spanish, Music (guitar and violin), Spelling, Geography, Home Economics and
Bible.
Every month we learn a different unit for science and world history. The unit is broken into 3
weeks of learning followed by our "fun" week. The last week of every month I plan field trips,
arts and crafts, activities, movies, documentaries and projects which will help us review what
we've learned all month. We have our monthly spelling bee in which we review the words we
learned that month. I also let them write their memory verses in chalk on a cement wall in the
back of our home.
Last year we didn't participate in a co-op, but this year we joined a co-op and the girls love it!
We chose to join a co-op that only had electives, they have gym, art, music, and logic. They
aren't given any homework and they love seeing there friends every week.
Do you homeschool? What works for your family purchased curriculum or do you make your
own?
