I mentioned in my review of A Gentle Feast that we aren't going back to it this coming school year. I figured I'd share our full curriculum plans for this coming year, which include all three classical stages or all four Charlotte Mason forms, whichever way you want to look at it. We've got a …

This school year, we're going back to me fully planning the year. My home education ideals fall somewhere between Classical and Charlotte Mason. We've fully done both, and find that a mix between the two works best for us. I rely heavily on real books, but we don't rely heavily on narration. I wanted to …
This year, I deviated from my usual homeschool planning.

I initally chose A Gentle Feast because it has four cycles, where …
I realized that I haven't shared my favorite homeschool resources lately. I have been finding some really awesome things for the kids that we have all really enjoyed.

These two are doing most of their work outside of the Morning Basket time on their own. They are much more capable of getting things done without my help these day. I write their work to be done in their planners and they check it off as they go. They have weekly and daily assignments …
I just have the one forth grader this year. He will have the option of being grouped with the younger kids for Literature if he wants, but that will entirely be up to him on a day by day basis. I write his work to be done in his planner and he checks it off …
