This year we are continuing to Use Making Math Meaningful by Cornerstone Curriculum. Both boys really enjoy this program! It has been challenging to our 11 year old who is in Level 6. He also has been working through "Hands-On Equations Learning Systems" by Henry Borenson Ed.D. This is a fantastic program for teaching algerbraic linear equations to elementary school children.

We are always reading "Living Books". We are using American History for Young Students II by TruthQuest History. Michelle Miller has put a wonderful program together using the best in living books and her commentary and insight on relating all of history to God's ultimate Sovereighty is priceless!

For Science we are using Great Science Adventures by Valerie Bendt by Great Science Adventures.

Our oldest is working on his 3nd year of Hey Andrew Teach Me Some Greek by Greek 'n' Stuff. Our younger son has just started level One. This has been their favorite subject!

I have chosen to use a variety of resources to design our own program that will focus on Art Appreciation of Artwork of the time period we are studying and hands-on artwork.

For more information on the Classical Method and Homeschooling Check out The Well Trained Mind and Classical Homeschooling Our favorite resource supplier is Lifetime Catalog Lifetime is the best place to find in print (and some out of print) "living" books that fit the Christian Homeschoolers needs.

Wondering what we do for fun?

We enjoy camping - Timberlee is our favorite campgrounds. We also enjoy music, roller hockey, baseball, soccer, tennis, books (good ones!)1000 Great Book link and Chess Illinois Chess Page and my personal favorite "sipping" good tea! We have really been enjoying building our home library. We go to library sales, garage sales,and thrift shops. When I find some great duplicates I often sell them in order to support our home library. I have had a great time selling some real treasures on ebay. Valerie's Living Books-FREE Resources for Homeschooling Families is a fantastic place to find what books make up a great home living book library. Check it out--it is a real treasure!
