I have homeschooled since 2005.
It’s been a wild journey and I have learned so much about myself as a mom and teacher over the years.
You can see how we began with our first and second years.
Here’s how I plan a homeschool year.
You can scroll through all the curricula we’ve used over the years for various levels.
I also created these pages of homeschooling topics and to help answer questions.
This year, I’m only homeschooling 3 kids!
We’re still finishing up some maths, science, and history…but we should have about a month off from academics. We typically school year round with lots of breaks for holidays, resting, and travel.
My eldest is dual enrolled at a local university, and has all but completed her high school work of French and history.
We continue to use our core curriculum of Tapestry of Grace for history, geography, literature, art, music, and church history.
We use Memoria Press for Latin. My son is finishing up Prima Latina and the girls are doing Latina Christiana. We also learn modern languages.
We’ll take local weekly art classes again since we love the teacher.
My middle girls are 11 and 12 years old. We don’t really do grade levels, but I guess they’re in about 7th.
Katie is trying soccer again.
Tori loves being outdoors and walks, runs, bikes, rollerblades all the time.
This year, they’re studying:
- Beauty in the Heart Bible study
- Spelling Workout Level H
- New Elementary Maths 1
- Apologia Physical Science and notebook
My son is 8 years old. He is in about 4th grade.
Alex loves baseball and will play fall ball and spring league again this year.
He is studying:
Apologia Chemistry and Physics to coincide with his sisters’ physical science.
A winter Astronomy Unit
- Stargazer’s Guide
- Apologia Astronomy and notebook
- The Astronomy Book
- journals
- various library books
- telescope
Some of this curriculum is no longer printed or has updated to new editions. I’ve had these books for years and if it ain’t broke…
My husband homeschools our two children – ages 8 and 5. This year we are doing more of a Charlotte Mason method.
Although I am not a homeschooler, I am a retired teacher and have several dear friends who homeschool their children. I have spent several years at one home tutoring one of her boys so really got to be a part of the whole thing. I love it and would homeschool my kids (if I had any) in a heartbeat! I love your curricula for all levels. I want to come to school there!! Thanks for sharing as I know one friend recently asked me to pray about the choices she was needing to make for her kids.

Wow! You are doing great to get your plan all ready so quickly. We homeschool too (my oldest just graduated and is going to community college and my youngest is 9). And we use the Singapore math too. It’s been good for us. One thing I love about homeschooling is that you can tailor your plans to your children. That’s such a blessing. God bless your next year!
Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Thanks so much for sharing! I love looking at what others are doing for their homeschool year!
As we have had some huge transitions over the last two years, I have worked to make our homeschooling a little more simple and fun for MK. While still giving him the good homeschooling education that he needs. So we have done quite a bit of changing, that honestly, I NEVER thought would happen a few years ago.
But that is the beauty of homeschooling!
Thanks for linking up @LiveLifeWell!

Thanks for sharing what you are planning to do with your kids this coming year. I plan to do Mystery of History with my youngest and she can then choose with Exploring Creation texts she’d like to read (again) for science. She loves them. I also like having them go through Bible studies written by Kim Sorgius of Not Consumed. We all really like her products.
Thanks for sharing on Grace & Truth!
