*Blue indicates that Mom is scheduled to be actively engaged in this subject during this time.
During an ideal morning, we would clean our zones before mass so we could begin our day earlier. This rarely works for us. It takes us forever to find everyone's shoes and comb through tangled hair. But the boys make up for it by finishing their morning subjects quickly in order to eat lunch earlier. The older girls would rather move slower and eat later.

Hi, I love your blog. Thank you for spending the time to do it. I was wondering what supplementary materials you recommend for use with the veritas history cards? I'd like to avoid anything anti-catholic. Thanks again.

Thanks for the comment. I suppose the resources would depend on the ages of your students. We use the History of the Church (Diadache publication) for High School and some Middle Schoolers, and The Old World and America or Christ the King, Lord of History (Tan)for elementary to middle school. I also love From Sea to Shining Sea and All Ye Lands(Ave Maria Press). If the children are too young to read these themselves, I read it and paraphrase on a level they can comprehend. The kids also read the lives of the Saints (Windeatt series from Ignatiua Press or Tan books). These make great "read-alouds". My older students read the De Wohl books on the saints. We also love primary sources - follow the link on the side bar if you are interested. My high school students will read St. Augustine's Confessions this year. The detailed lesson plans on Birth of Christ to Counter Reformation shows the specific text and page numbers for each week that we will use this year. When we do stumble across anti-catholic rhetoric from other sources, we use it as an exercise in apologetics. I hope this helps.

Wanderlust

Wouldn't it be fabulous if home educators could receive the same tax payer funding as the public school system? With that kind of money per child, we could go to Egypt, Greece, and Rome while studying Ancient Civilizations. Since it was always more of a daydream than a possibility, we visited those places in our imagination with the help of living books (lots and lots of books) and internet resources. It definitely spurred a wanderlust in all of my children. I think they also an inherited the travel gene from my Dad's side of the family.  As a teenager, his father took an unexpected journey as a stowaway on a slow boat to China (literally), which in a VERY roundabout way led to a career in Aruba, where my father was born.  As an adult, my dad joined the military and raised his family across the USA, with 4 year stint in Okinawa. Last count I had attended 16 different schools before finishing high school. Don't ask me to recreate that count. My memory isn't what it u...

Waldorf What?

When the link to Homeschooling on a Shoestring was published , there was some discussion about the overview of teaching styles. A friend of mine, who happens to be a very talented artist, was curious about the Waldorf Style. We hadn't heard of it before, at least not under this label. According to the post, it is a teaching style that integrates head, heart and hands. It involves art, faith and lots of hands on activities. While there are many elements of Waldorf philosophy that are not compatible with our Classically Catholic teaching style, we have occasionally borrowed ideas to make our curriculum more colorful and whimsical. Follow this link to Serendipity for free downloads of creative lesson plans and charming stories about fairies and gnomes that will make language arts and math the favorite subjects of the day. Since the author is all about keeping it Catholic, you will also find stories of the saints beautifully woven into the presentations. I imagine our summer will b...
