Math ( A love hate relationship)



Ok if I were to be honest  I hate Math..... And it has always a tough subject for me.  Over the years I have  spent so much time researching math curriculum and feel like I know alot  about each one. I have tried a new one off and on over my years of homeschooling! This year is a little different we are trying a whole new program which includes a whole new math I will let you know how it turns out!!   I pray we will be happy with our choice.  I am going to share the Math curriculum that I found easy and homeschool friendly, I hope that this might help you.
Singapore Math
This is a very popular choice for homeschoolers. I have used the K level & am buying 1st grade for next year. It is a very colorful picture approach to math and works well for my daughter. They have all levels (K-12).


Saxon Math
We tried this one with my son one year and it was not a good fit. I do know that many people use this curriculum with a lot of success. It is probably one of the more well known maths. They have K-high school levels.

This is an amazing FREE website that has videos to teach different Math (& other subjects) concepts. there are also practice lessons to help learn. I know lots of people use and love this site. Be sure to check it out

My struggling Reader!

So I've taken full ownership of my struggle (as I am sure many of you have), I wear it like a badge of shame a ugly cape for a very unsuccessful super hero.  I believe it is my fault that my daughter is not reading yet that at 8 she is not a strong reader.  I truly believe that there must have been something I could have done to help her get it better,  I go back and forth with the fact that maybe if she was in school with a real teacher helping her she would be a strong reader by now,,, I read somewhere the other day that "Struggle" shows that something is going on....Me being me I went and looked up the word struggle with new eyes.. Struggle is a verb It implies action It implies effort It implies giving all you've got. So I've come to understand that what this word means for me is that I'm not growing comfortable, that good enough is not enough for me.  That I am moving forward....  I am going to let up on myself and understand that eventually she will...

Getting Organized!

Getting Organized! If you are like me I can become overwhelmed fast as I try to get things ready for the new year. It helps if I can take a few moments to do something out side my set up class room such as reading, or prayer this helps me to rediscover my goals and feel more in control of my life and my school schedule. There are times that I feel as if I have homeschool under control but my house is being attached by baby giants and starts to take on a life of its own.  But I have friends who’s homes are always spotless never a plate out of place, but they can’t seem to get on top of lesson plans and school goals and schedules are not a part of their school.  What I have learned over the years is that Homeschool families are all the same: drowning in a sea of clutter! I have also started to understand that organization is <em>not</em> about an immaculate house or quintessential neatness. There is not any one best way to organize. <em>...

Already Taken Care of !!

Sorry I have been missing.  Well not missing just living and at times it feels like  I am a bystander in my own life.  My son started college in August and life has been a little overwhelming.  It is easy to say that we understand that God has a plan that nothing happens by chance but it is another thing to put faith into action. I read Exodus 16:4 again and it reads Then the Lord said to Moses behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you and the people of Israel , gather a days worth only every day. As moms our Brains never seem to stop,  we are always on.  It's in our nature to take care of everyone and everything, to worry even if we know better.  As the Israelite's we can be drawn to the what if;s instead of the here and now.  Due to worry we might be tempted to take more than we need out of fear of not having enough.   We pull time and energy from projects, from reading the word from devotions and from ourselves.  To wo...
