Inside Our Homeschool
Inside Our Homeschool… Where Focusing is a Challenge
Our homeschool has always been full of energy and active kids who like to listen to a story for a minute and then are off to do something else. It was hard to keep up. It took awhile to learn that part of the quick pace was that my kids had trouble focusing on their school work. We have learned to adapt, and our normal includes homeschooling with focus challenges.
Inside Our Homeschool… Working Mom, Homeschool Dad
Take a peek inside our homeschool and see a serious partnership with a full time working mom and a stay-at-home homeschool dad. Yep! Though I help our homeschool by supporting it financially, keeping the house clean (ish), and teaching reading after work hours… my beard growing, plaid wearing, firewood chopping husband is the primary caregiver and teacher of our 4 young children.
Inside Our Homeschool… with Jewish Curriculum
the fact that we are a Jewish homeschool family differentiates us the most because there are very few Jewish homeschoolers. In fact, I helped create the very first Jewish homeschool curriculum, Ani VeAmi, which means “I and my people.”
Inside Our Homeschool… On A Multi-Family Farm
One of the best things about homeschooling on a farm is that we are able to learn in so many different ways and places. For example, one of our favorite subjects is gardening. We love getting our hands dirty and learning about where our food comes from. Plus, it’s a great way to get some exercise!

Inside Our Homeschool… Learning Outside and On the Go
You don’t have to use a textbook to teach kids about landforms and geography in the United States. Just start right where you are homeschooling outside. We don’t have mountains, or glaciers, or massive waterfalls nearby, but we do have some pretty neat stuff.
Inside our Homeschool… As a Former Classroom Teacher
Before I homeschooled my kids, I spent over a decade working as a teacher in traditional schools. I thought that this experience would be great preparation for homeschooling my kids, and in some ways it is. But in other ways, I think that my experience in traditional schools makes it harder to homeschool my kids.
Inside Our Homeschool… Delight-Driven Learning With Only One Child
Homeschooling an only child is a unique journey, but one that we wouldn’t trade for the world! We love our little family of three and the freedom and joy that homeschooling has given us.
Middle School Homeschool Science on DVD Made Easy!

Building Independence in your Homeschool with BookShark Virtual
This year one of my middle schoolers is using BookShark Virtual Level F Eastern Hemisphere.
We will be taking a look at life on the other side of the world. Unlike most other BookShark levels, Level F is not a chronological study, but is more of a unit study as we travel around the Eastern Hemisphere, exploring countries and cultures very different than our own, such as Japan and China.
