Well, we Elliotts start our new school year this next week, and while the kids are a little sad to see the freedom of summer end, I’m pretty excited about this year. (I always did like school… so I guess nothing’s changed.)…

Who’s In Charge (in Your Homeschool)?
August 7, 2009 by 3 Comments
This post is an excerpt from Anne’s book on how to organize and plan for a new homeschooling year.
God’s precious Spirit would never guide you down any path that contradicts what He has commanded in His Word. We know that the Bible says wives are to be in submission to their husbands “in everything” (Ephesians 5:22-24), which obviously must include the way we teach our children.…

Using the Bible As Your Primary Textbook
July 31, 2009 by 5 Comments
We know that the Bible says we are to impress God’s commands on our children by talking about them when we sit, walk, lie down and get up (Deuteronomy 6:4-9). That’s all the time!
We homeschoolers have an advantage here, simply because we have more time in each day to spend with our children.…

Curriculum and Planning with No Money
July 24, 2009 by 7 Comments
…Anne, do you know of any tips or curriculum ideas for those in these tough times? My husband has been out of work since February, and I’m wondering what curriculum to buy (especially for my 10th grader who needs to do Biology and Spanish) and still give my children a good education.
Practical Planning for a New School Year
July 17, 2009 by 3 Comments
I know summer is only half over, but my brain is certainly gearing up for the new school year. I really love to plan and make lists, so I think this is fun. However, summer days go by quickly, and planning a school year is a big job — so it takes me several weeks to get it all done.…
Handling Things in a Large Family
July 15, 2009 by 2 Comments
I’ve been asked, “How do you handle everything with so many kids,” so many times recently that I thought it would be fun to write a blog post about it. Then I saw this question repeated in a yahoo group today, and so, yup, it’s time to write that blog post!…
God's Lesson Plans
July 3, 2009 by Leave a Comment
In our Bible study of Ephesians today, we learn that we are members of God’s household, “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets” (Ephesians 2:19-20).
Paul refers to this again in 2 Timothy 3:14-17, when he reminds young pastor Timothy,
…“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
Let's Try Notebooking

Notebooking … ahhh, just the thought makes me hyper! If I could ask every homeschooling family to do just one thing, it would be to just give notebooking a try. This is the one technique that pulls everything together—studies, research, real life, personal interests—everything!…
