Basic Homeschool Helps

With local schools sending kids home to learn for the next few weeks, I figured there might be some parents who struggle with the transition. Any new routine for a kid is likely to lead to a struggle, so I've put together some advice and resources you may find helpful. These would also be helpful …

Godbold Academy 2020-2021: Rhetoric Stage Plans

The rhetoric stage is essentially the high school stage. This level bumps up in difficulty quite a bit, as students are able to handle deeper and more difficult books. I expect my rhetoric students to be fully independent, except they do join us for Morning Basket. I keep all my kids running along the same …

Godbold Academy 2020-2021: Logic Stage Plans

The logic stage in homeschooling lasts from about fifth or sixth grade through eighth grade, depending on the child. This is what we'd all typically call "middle school". The logic stage is a bump up in difficulty, and I expect my logic aged children to be pretty much independent. I do not read the scheduled …

Godbold Academy 2020-2021: Grammar Stage Plans

The grammar stage in homeschooling spans from about kindergarten or first grade through fourth or fifth grade, depending on the child. I include my young ones in our grammar schooling, as they usually want to keep up with their siblings and they enjoy the readings and such. Some things are specific to the actual place …

Godbold Academy 2020-2021: Morning Basket

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 …

Godbold Academy 2020-2021 Curriculum

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 …

End of Summer Favorites

I rounded up my favorite things lately to share with you guys. I do have a few things that I don't like, as well. We'll start with these Pilot Frixion Ballpoint Gel Pens. I've been using these to write in my Gentle Feast planner as well as take notes in my textbooks. I just like …

Kindergarten Math Box

Last school year, in addition to our Kindergarten Math book that we used, I also made a Math Box for my little guys. I was super pregnant at the beginning of the year and then had a newborn, so I knew I would need something easy to grab and execute to help them with math. …

2017-2018 Morning Basket Curriculum Review

You can find the post of my plans here. This was my first year incorporating a morning basket into our homeschool routine. It was something I picked up from Charlotte Mason homeschoolers. And while we generally stick to The Well Trained Mind, morning basket sounded like something I wanted to adapt to our homeschool routine. …

2017-2018 Preschool- First Grade Curriculum Review

Since we are winding down with the school year, I figured it was time to update you on my thoughts on the curriculum we used this school year. Now, we technically school year round, so we aren't really done with the year, but we are winding down and I'm planning next year already. You can …

Just finished this book. Got to say, it was fascinating, eye opening, and heart convicting. My full review is over on Goodreads. I’ve been researching the uncomfortable topic of demons lately. That might sound weird. But when you read the Gospel and see how much of Jesus’s ministry was devoted to healing people from demons, you have to stop and rethink what you thought you knew about the subject. So, here I am, chasing a weird and uncomfortable rabbit trail. #reading #reviewer #keeplearning
The little sisters were accidentally matching today, so I had to grab a picture! And yes, Sue Ellen at nine months old is almost as big as Daisy, who is three. #sisters #babiessevenandeight #largefamily #matching #pooroldsue #daisy
Homemade chicken pot pie for dinner. It was delicious. The picture doesn’t really do it justice, since you can’t see any of the pretty colors underneath. #cookingthroughMagnoliaTable #chickenpotpie #southernfood #dinner
Topher (7) lost his first tooth! He was so excited about his celebratory ice cream. (We don’t have fictional characters visit out house. Instead, I had the genius idea to do ice cream for each lost tooth. The tooth fairy would have been much cheaper!) But he has some weird plans for the tooth. Our mad scientist has some plans to experiment on his tooth. #sevenyearsold #topherbrink #losttooth #firstlosttooth #toothfairyischeaper
