SOTW Wins--What are yours?
Michelle in MD replied to hs03842's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We didn't always do many extras since I had so many littles back in the day, but I never missed reading aloud through the volumes and they got a lot from "only" reading. My firstborn (now 29) adored history and read Volume 1 in its entirety in a day after it was published (circa 2001)… later went to Princeton on a full scholarship to study history and always credited SoTW and SWB for his early interest and ambition. -
Hugs to you! I was so touched to read your update! Special blessings to you and your family.

Hunter: Glad to "see" you
Michelle in MD replied to RootAnn's topic in General Education Discussion Board
As a long time Hunter fan, I agree with all of the above! 😀 -
We began in 2001 and I'm in my mid 50's now...I still have five schooling at home, including a 6yo. All my older children have done very well in college, so that gives me confidence with our choices, which have ranged over the years from WTM to CMish to "mom-invented" and back again. I use more Memoria Press products now because the structure does us all good. We've always used their Latin curricula but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could use many of their other materials in a (sort of) relaxed way...we call the workbooks our "guidebooks" and we employ lots of discussion and dra

Accountability Thread 5/3-5/9
Michelle in MD replied to Critterfixer's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Ms. Critterfixer, I'm delurking to say that I'm intrigued by your curriculum choices...you seem to have a definite classical bent with a fairly strong Memoria Press basis, but I wanted to ask if you have some sort of framework that guides your history and science choices. Or do you plan everything yourself? I'm inspired by what you're doing and I'm sure I'm not the only one! Michelle in MD, who is still teaching several kids around the same age as yours. -
My current 8th grader (who does love Legos!) would be doing her work, but I've had 8th graders in the past who would've needed redirecting.

At what point????

We have kids of pretty much every age and they all still get one. -
How long have I been homeschooling?
Michelle in MD replied to Desert Strawberry's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Or sometimes it just *feels* like forever, anyway. My three oldest were in ps thru grades 5, 2, and 1, when we pulled them out. We began hs'ing fall of 2001 (the week of 9-11, actually) and thus are in our 14th year. Having begun in '01 makes it really easy for my addled brain to count.
