    Organizing Heart of Dakota (and a small Review of Heart of Dakota)

    I thought I would share how I organized our children doing Heart of Dakota.  If you are curious about what Heart of Dakota is or why we chose this program for our homeschool, I encourage you to read this post. I would like the kind of preface this by saying that not all this is necessary to successfully enjoy HOD.  I have been known to go a little crazy with organization…  also, the way I organize might not be the way everyone else will – and that’s ok! I post this for two reasons. One – I’m a bit crazy about organization and love it dearly, so posting about my…

    A Review of Heart of Dakota

    Humbling, overwhelming, joyful, challenging, and enlightening are just some of the ways I would describe homeschooling on a any given day!  Oh yes, BUSY is a good one too! Since we start most of our school years in August, we’re usually ready for a shake-up come January.  Almost every year we revamp at this time.  As a home educator, I am constantly assessing how the children are relating to and learning with specific curriculums as well as teaching methods. Since we try to cling to many of Charlotte Mason‘s philosophies, we use hundreds (thousands?) of living books every year for learning, teaching, discovering, and growing.  Every subject is filled to…
