I have reached the apex of homeschooling where my kids are pretty much independent learners!
I highly recommend the books by Louise Bates Ames. A good guide to follow are the What Your ?-Grader Needs to Know by E.D. Hirsch, Jr.

I don’t have little kids anymore!
More and more, I just stand back in awe and watch them create and perform.
We love learning and exploring together!

My eldest daughter is 18 and beginning her first official year of college! She has a part time job as a bank teller.
My middle girls are doing 8th grade work.
Tori is 13 and doing Greek 2 and Katie is 12 and is continuing German.
We’re looking into private art lessons for Katie. She does fall soccer. She loves to cook and draw and create.
Tori practices weekly aerial arts at a local gym.

We’re in year 4 of our history cycle.
We still do lots of morning read alouds together for Bible, church history, natural history, Life of Fred, world and American history, and literature.
I can’t believe how time has flown!
