    A Review of Simply Charlotte Mason’s Spelling Wisdom and Using Language Well

    I have reviewed several of the Simply Charlotte Mason products because, truth is, I really love their resources.  We are a pretty Charlotte Mason focused homeschool so I’ve made use of a ton of their plans, subject-based items, and podcasts, guides, and videos.  I love how SCM keeps things very accessible but also challenging and pretty true to Mason. We have been using Spelling Wisdom and Using Language Well for several years now and have quite enjoyed these two resources all around.  (Our kids using these are 15, 13, 11 and they all enjoy them.)   What is Dictation? Spelling Wisdom uses the idea of Prepared Written Dictation to accomplish…

    Our Choices for Individual Studies / Morning Rotation

      So, last week I posted about our Morning Time and Family Loop plans for this year, Term 1. If you haven’t read that post and are genuinely interested in how our year ( or a creatively put-together, Charlotte Mason-inspired year ) looks like, I’d definitely start there.  A huge part of our learning is covered in our Morning Time and Family Loop . Once we finish up Morning Time, the kids move into their Morning Rotations (Individual Work).  This is where they are covering their Language Arts, Math, Notebooking, and Reading.   This year Simon is our 6th grader (oh, my goodness!),  Audrey is in 4th grade, and Alex…

    Classical Academic Press’s Writing & Rhetoric – A Review

        Recently, I was given the opportunity to use and review Writing and Rhetoric by Classical Academic Press for HipHomeschoolMoms.com.  Below is part of that review – to read the full review, access a coupon code, and enter a give-away, CLICK HERE. Writing has been one of the most challenging subjects for me to implement into our homeschool.  I find this a bit funny, considering I love to write and have been an avid writer since I was very young. For this reason (and because it just looked so great!), I was thrilled to review Writing & Rhetoric  Book 1  and  Book 2  from Classical Academic Press. Using Writing & Rhetoric with a…

    A Review of Living Literature Grammar Packs from Shining Dawn Books

    If you’ve hung around this little blog for very long, you’ll probably already know how much I love the stuff from Our Journey Westward.  I have several posts where I’ve talked about and reviewed the fantasticNaturExplorers Series.   I was excited to try out the Living Literature Grammar Packs for Language Arts.  Grammar is something I have always struggled with as it always feels forced… it’s just one of those subjects that I always felt simply ‘needed to be done’.  Which, let’s get honest, it IS one of those subjects.  How many people LOVE Grammar?  Well, maybe some people do… but not most.  And especially usually not 10-year-old-boy people. So, searching for…
