Today I’m excited to share Apologia Biology self-paced course for high school and how this curriculum is helping me get that big box of “lab science” checked off the list with my sophomore this year! Apologia reached out to see if I could check out and review their self-paced biology course and having had used…
High school is the perfect time for a deep dive into U.S. history and government with your high schooler. Truth be told, when I dove in with my oldest several years ago, I learned so much myself! (Isn’t that the beautiful thing about homeschooling?) America has an amazing and complex history. I think it’s so…
Meal planning, delegating, homeschooling high school and everything in between…Every week on the podcast, I’m releasing a bonus Q+A episode full of your questions. I’ve seen other podcasters do this and I love listening in to the random questions that come in. This week, we’re talking about meal planning, saying yes and saying no, skincare…
Homeschooling your high schooler isn’t all that hard, but there are a lot more boxes to check– like test taking. And for most students, taking an ACT prep or SAT prep course will improve scores. For us, we are really open to our kids going to university, trade school, gap years, apprenticeship and whatever other…
I’ve shared here before about our plan for high school language arts. Language arts is beginning to be one of my favorite things to teach. Why? Because there are so many great resources out there! I’m working on a post of our TOP 10 favorite language arts resources, but for now I want to share…
For our first year of high school, I knew I wanted to piece together a language arts credit instead of purchasing something from a big box. We needed some high school grammar, vocabulary, and writing. This year, we are basing our language arts credits almost entirely around what literature we’re reading. We’re learning about different…
Language arts is my favorite subject I’ve planned for my freshman so far. Included in our language arts regime, we’ve focused on grammar, literature–and pulling grammar lessons from our literature, and writing. The combination of these has made for a doable, simple, well-rounded language arts this year. There’s one more thing that I find to be really…
We’re about 8 weeks in, folks, and we’re surviving high school so far. Cheers!! Really, it’s easier than you think. Homeschooling high school (so far) is just like homeschooling elementary–but bigger. Writing is a hot topic for high school kids because what do colleges want you to be really good at? Writing. WriteShop II is…
Yes, we’re homeschooling high school and no, we’re not afraid of it. The only thing that’s really worried me over the summer is that I don’t want to lose the fun part of school with my oldest just because he’s in high school. While the other kids are making dioramas and going on nature hikes,…
You’re definitely going to send Noah to school for high school, right? This is the question Jarrod and I get on pretty much a bi-weekly basis. Our answer…always…we’re not sure. Yes, it’s lukewarm and wishy-washy, but it’s the truth. We have very open communication with all our kids, but most of all with Noah, our oldest, whom…
