We decided to reinvent our own gradebook with the user in mind. The outcome is what we call our "simple gradebook". You can still access the classic gradebook if you need to add grades outside of the current week or for unscheduled subjects. Most of the time, however, you enter grades per day or per week and usually stick with the schedule. The simpl...

There's plenty of mistakes to be made when you're homeschooling but one stands far above the rest as the main source of problems for my family. It's the biggest source of all sorts of problems and it's the one I have the most control over. The number one problem for us is: me not spending enough time with my children as they're learning.

There are few things more encouraging to a homeschool parent than to see your child actually interested in what they're learning. I am a strong proponent of scheduling our days and roughly sticking to the schedule throughout the week. Sure, the day to day grind of learning certain topics can be tedious but sticking to the schedule is important so you can cover all the material you need to cover throughout the year. That being said, however, it's also extremely important to be attentive and to...

Some exceptional homeschool children will have already advanced well past their peers in certain subjects but may still struggle in others. In this article we will plan out a curriculum for our advanced fourth grader.
