    A Review of Heart of Dakota

    Heart of Dakota is a Christ-centered, literature based multi-level, multi-age full curriculum for homeschool.  It is gentle, engaging, challenging, and planned in a very detailed, easy to follow way.   They offer levels from Pre-K to High School.  There are no real ‘grades’, but instead, suggested age outlines with their own themes. The years typically progress in 2 year increments so your child could place in more than one ‘guide’ (or year) at any given time.  This offers flexibility based on the child’s abilities, your preference of themes, etc. Everything you need (in my opinion) is there except for some additional Language Arts in the higher grades and your Math.…

    Why Love needs to be the Heart of the Home{school}

    “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.” 1 Corinthians 13:1  So begins the famous passage so often read at weddings and so desperately needed in the home and the homeschool.  Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, does not boast… and we can insert the word “Mama” every time we read love for some added effect.  Or guilt.  It depends, doesn’t it? Mama is patient, kind, not proud, never rude… Mama is not self-seeking, Mama is not easily angered, Mama keeps no records of wrongs…  Mama always protects, always trusts, always hopes……

    Introducing…. Charlotte Mason Monday

    Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking and praying about how we *do* home education.  I’ve been revamping and reorganizing and wondering if I’m really getting this thing even close to right. There’s no doubt, sometimes I do feel a bit overwhelmed with homeschooling our now 9, 8, and 6-year-old children.  But, the truth is – for the most part, I’m very much at peace with our day-to-day life.  I feel like I’m finally finding our ‘groove’ and we’ve been doing this for 6 years!  What keeps me going as a homeschooler is my faith in the Lord, Yeshua, and my certainty of this calling on my life.…

    Homeschooling 2012-2013

    It’s an exciting time of year as we plan for the coming homeschool year.  I love it – new beginnings, new plans, new opportunities. I spent several months researching a general curriculum that would work within our Charlotte Mason/Unit Study learning structure.  I like to use a base for learning and then springboard from there.  I’ve found boxed curriculums do not work for our family or our method, so I tend to piece together several resources and programs. This year we are using Galloping the Globe as our main curriculum.  GTG takes us on a journey to every continent on the globe.  Within each continent, we study various countries, their people, cultures, landscapes,…
