Saxon

I am using Saxon math for all three Kiddos, so far I have been very impressed with the lessons, layout and thoroughness!

They seem to enjoy the lessons also, which is an integral part of learning!

Just received our Mona Brookes Art Books, Super Excited to teach the Monart Method of art!

The Switch

Several months ago we started homeschooling using WAVA K12, but once we delved into the routine I realized it didn't have the freedom to add in things I wanted to study like Kennedy, MLK, Presidents Days, it was too much public school in my home, so when we went on Christmas Break we/I went rouge and began pouring over more books and hand picking my curriculum based on each of my Kiddos learning styles, of which I realized based on a short assessment I gave to them, even though I knew in my mind what their styles were, proof is good, because as many of my fellow homeschooling know we fall under more scrutiny, having to prove what our kids know!

Curriculum is arriving now and I am seeing the learning & comprehending that I had been longing for as we implement it!

I also acquired my WA State Homeschool Certification, I don't take my new roll lightly, I want to do things by the book. We as homeschoolers have so many freedoms that we received when the laws were created by previous homeschooling. We need to continue to fight to keep them, thus my reasoning for certification and filing our Declaration Of Intent!

Have A Great Day All!
