Curriculum we are using, or that we love

Classical Conversations-Core curriculum for History, Geography, Science
(We are not doing a co-op, we have the songs & the memory cards & I made a binder with maps, pictures of historical characters & science diagrams to use with the program)

SIPPS-Core curriculum for Reading/phonics/polysyllabic decoding

Singapore & Right Start Math -Both good programs, however I am currently looking at some others to supplement with.

These are the main ones we use. Since I am an eclectic homeschooler, I like to try out different things to see which is a good fit for us. These are some other programs that we use or have used:

Explode the Code - We have never tried it online, although I would like to try it, but we do use the workbooks.


Story of the World- I felt it was a little too advanced for my kids ages. But I enjoyed the stories & will probably revisit it at a later time.

Our Father's World Science- (Different than My Father's World) I really like the song in the beginning. It really helped with learning the days of creation. I got creative & even made little foam cut-out puppets on popsicle sticks to hold up when we sing it, to give a visual.

Handwriting Without Tears-Simple enough that my 6 year old squiggler can do it, & consistent & challenging enough so my 2nd grader doesn't get bored.

Art in Action-An online art program that gives a little background on the artist & shows you step-by-step how to paint their masterpieces. We like this program:)

We have a lot more things we do. I try to switch it up everyday so that they don't get bored (& so I don't get bored:) We also read A LOT. We want to raise kids who love to read & love to learn & expose them to all kinds of different things so that they will be well-rounded & so that it can open doors for them in the future.
