American Sign Language Resources

August 14, 2020 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Homeschoolers often make it a priority to learn a foreign language or two and what better one to learn than American Sign Language. Being able to communicate with the deaf community within your own town or country is a precious gift. My teen daughter wants to try and learn American Sign Language as a foreign language credit. I am giving her the option to “learn at home” via homeschool or through the local community college as part of dual enrollment.

Since I found these resources for my own family I thought that I might as well share them for others to use as a homechool resource. Please feel free to share this with your friends and family who are interested in America Sign Language.

Storms and crazy weather can scare young children but learning about weather might help. Getting a collection of weather books for kids and reading them to your children just might bring them comfort. Once children understand signs of storms and about weather they could learn to track storms and enjoy the changes it brings.

The Harvard Classics Audiobook Edition Part 1

September 24, 2019 By Thaleia 1 Comment

Many of you dear readers are avid learners and researches but maybe you have NOT heard about the Harvard Classics- gasp! I came across this list a few years ago BEFORE my older two were in High School.

The Harvard Classics originally known as Dr. Eliot’s Five Foot Shelf, is a 51-volume anthology of classic works from world literature, compiled and edited by Harvard University president Charles W. Eliot and first published in 1909. “Dr.Charles W.Eliot, the former Harvard president who edited the series, maintained that if one read just 15 minutes a day from the 51 volumes he assembled, it would constitute “a good substitute for a liberal education to anyone who would read them with devotion.”

I want to tackle this huge list of books but there’s no way this mama of 4 is going to lug huge books around for the next several years! Then I thought why not create an audio addition that can be uploaded to your phone or Kindle! (you can purchase a Kindle on Amazon here or grab the free Kindle App for pc, mac, phone or tablets!)

I cannot believe that Summer is more than half way over and that Back to School sales have begun. While we are still trying to bask in the lazy days of Summer I am planning our high school homeschool curriculum choices for the upcoming school year. Eldest and Princess are both working on credits to add to their high school transcripts.

Since we have four children that will ALL be homeschooling this year I try to keep things simple with having everyone study a few of the same core subjects. This year we will have two high school homeschool students and two elementary homeschool students. Check out all of our elementary homeschool posts for younger aged resources.

August 8, 2019 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

It’s August and it’s Back to School season which can put high school homeshcool parents in a tizzy! I know what it’s like to plan for teens since I have two with very different personalities and interests. So here’s some ideas that I am calling a Quick Start Guide sharing free and paid resources for high school homeschool curriculum.

I realize that many families have a limited budget when it comes to spending money on supplies and curriculum but there’s so many good free choices that you will only have to narrow done the courses that your child wants to take along with a few requirements. If you are brand new to homeschooling your children then I highly recommend you read my How to Start Homeschooling post FIRST then come on back over here!

High School homeschool offers a wide array of choices for students between courses, work studies, apprenticeships, college courses and jobs. I would suggest you take some time with your high school student to talk about career goals as well as current interests. Maybe even plan to get a tour of your local college or career center. (We just found out that our local career center allows for a very flexible academic plan since they allow open enrollment.)
