Welcome

June 2013

We are finishing our first official year of homeschooling, or Holmes Schooling as I like to call it.

What does homeschooling look like in our home?

We mostly use Five in a Row (FIAR) curriculum. It is an interdisciplinary curriculum focused around one main piece of literature for the week while exploring the scientific, mathematical, and social studies topics associated with the book. We also use other children's books using the FIAR methods.

We also supplement with two popular websites, abcmouse.com and Reading Eggs, lots of documentaries of off Netflix, and animated picture books on You Tube.

Some of my favorite websites for printables include Homeschool Creations and Homeschool Share.

Each morning we start with reading together and then move on to our other activities. We usually have a break for playtime after each directed activity, and since my girls have in-home therapy three times a week, we also work around therapy time.

The goal of this blog is to share resources and ideas with other homeschoolers.
