Adding lesson plans again.
The kids and I are so excited that our books are starting to come in. I am going to start doing our daily lesson plans and add them here starting tomorrow. If subjects are missing, it's just that we are waiting on our material. As well, I'm making more of an effort to take pictures to add here of our school time. It will be fun to look over our "year book," at the end of each grade year.

Becoming a master teacher
I was watching an episode of Oprah this week, when a comment caught my attention. One of the teachers that were featured said that it took him three years to be a good teacher, and five to be a master teacher. I thought, "yes! Exactly right!" Even with my background as a preschool and transitional kindergarten teacher it has taken me till this year to be super confident in my teaching abilities. I now FEEL like a master teacher.
As a homeschool parent I am on a lot of homeschool email loops. Ive been paying more attention to the posts from new homeschoolers. I feel like one of those confident parents I used to envy. I now feel in the position to give advice. It's a good feeling, but I worry for these new parents. It is not easy being a new homeschooler, even with some teaching experience.
For a new homeschool parent it can be overwhelming. First there is the scary thought that you are directly responsible for your child(rens) education. I remember thinking that there would be no one to blame but myself if I was wrong about this being a better alternative. It did not occur to me at the time that I had been responsible already for my children's early education....something every parent should give yourself a pat on the back for!
So how do you reach this nirvana of teaching confidence?
For every parent it will be different. For me though it was a combination of things. It was the feeling of confidence in several areas. Housecleaning doesn't have a lot to do with teaching, except that feeling like I have a good routine down, and that my home does not suffer was important to me. Cooking doesn't have a lot to do with teaching, except feeling like I have dinner on the table while also juggling housekeeping, and homeschooling makes me feel like I have finally mastered the art of true multi-tasking.
As for the actual teaching part of homeschooling, it to has been a combination of experiences that have helped me to grow. I used to berate myself that I have switched our style, methods, and curriculum in our homeschooling years. I now see that all of this was just an evolution of our journey. I needed to go through these different experiences, and the kids DID NOT suffer for it. In fact, even when we went through periods where we did very little schooling, the children thrived. Parents should understand that it is okay to not "get it right-right away," when it comes to these issues.
I think that like any teacher, homeschool parents should consider themselves in training. It takes time to become a good teacher, especially a master! Give yourself time to experience, and even experiment. Read other homeschool blogs, check out teacher websites, join homeschool forums and utilize the experience of parents who have come before you. Don't be afraid to change curriculum or methods. Most of all, give yourself a break, literally and figuratively!

FREE labbook files!
I found a PLETHORA of free lapbook files at Homeschool Launch. If you have never heard of lapbooking, Lapbooks are GREAT for hands on learners and for enrichment for a unit. Some people even use lapbooking as their curriculum. For my eight year old, who loves these-it really helps him to remember a concept or subject using these. I will be using these a lot this year as unit projects for him. I'd love to see pictures if anyone does one!

How I plan to implement CM style using textbooks
I have been thinking a lot these past two weeks about how to bridge what I love about the Charlotte Mason method of homeschooling with our use of textbooks. I think it hit me last week that most of my curriculum choices are pretty much all textbooks this year. What is great about homeschooling, is the ability to blend the styles you love, and tailor it to each individual child. So what part of CM will stay in our schooling?
A lot actually! We could never give up our nature studies. Everyone in the family loves this time outdoors-the kids love combining art with science, and the sunshine gives us a break during our school time. I love nothing better than when one of the kids documents something and then goes and researches on their own something they found....so this HAS to stay.
We will keep our Shakespeare, Art appreciation, and Music appreciation. We can do these these through copy work (another CM suggestion) I really believe that copy work is one of the simplest but genius ways for children to grasp grammar structure, spelling, and memorization. They retain A LOT of information this way.
We will also keep our written and oral narration. Nicko my eight year old is not a proficient writer yet, so oral narration to make sure he is grasping the concepts will be great for him. Matteo, my 13 year old loves writing, and he actually likes writing summaries. Instead of doing a lot of bookwork, he will keep separate notebooks for each subject and do written narration to make sure he learned that days lesson.
We will also keep reading living books. I've found that some textbooks(like the one's I chose) are not dry and written by people passionate about their subject. We will use living books to enhance whatever unit or subject we are working on. Once I get our new books, I will add lesson plans again, along with any living books we use with each unit.
I think this year might be our best year yet!

as if I am not busy enough-I gave birth!
I spent the week looking up homeschool blogs. I love reading any blog, but when I am sitting around at the end of the day my favorite thing to do is to read blogs by other homeschoolers. So, I got this idea....
There are all kind of avenue's to form a homeschool blog, sometimes I miss out on good blogs because of the variety of ways of getting your blog out. I also though have favorite sites not related to homeschooling that I have always admired for how they bring all these blogs together and feature bloggers, like SITS and FoodGawker. Using these as inspiration, I wanted a place similar for homeschool blogs....and thus Homeschool Blog Parade was born! I love the idea of featuring a new homeschool family every week. I intend to buy a nifty new templete and blog button to spruse up the site, and have featured topics and fun giveaways! I hope if you have a homeschool blog that you will join in the parade!

Math and my advice-selecting our art program
If there is one subject I am uncomfortable with, it is math. As an adult, I am still TERRIBLE at it. In fact, I was thrilled when I got my iphone and had several apps to figure percentages along with a calculator. I still count on my fingers in my head-math just does not compute with me!
In spite of my own deficiency, because of my experience with my own kids-I wanted to offer a little advice for beginning homeschoolers, or homeschoolers with young learners. In my opinion before you ever even look for curriculum for your child(ren), you should make sure they have memorized some things.
1) Write numbers 1-100 in standard form, expanded form, and word form.
2) know all place values from the left of the decimal up to millions, and at least place value to the right of the decimal to thousandths.
3) know all basic math facts by heart for 0-10 in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
4) have a basic understanding for simple fractions.
(edited to add)
5)Basic money skills
6)Telling time
You can do all of this without ever buying an expensive math program. There are many ways to teach this depending on what style of learner you have. With a visual you might try using flashcards or watching videos. With an auditory learners there are a lot of cd's with memorization songs-there are thousands of online worksheets you can print, or even a wipe off board with lines.
For me, this is my plan for my four little one's. I feel I have definitely learned that these skills are essential, in my opinion. I will not purchase a math program for my preschoolers until they have this down-even if it takes until 1st grade to do so.
For anyone who is past this point-and like me with math. Don't worry. There are scripted programs like Saxon math that will tell you exactly what to say while giving a lesson. I never had an issue with teaching a concept with a scripted lesson plan. Or, you can use a program like
Math U See, where you can use the CD with a math instructor who gives the lesson through the video. This is all my opinion of course, and different homeschool parents might have different advice. :)
On a side note-I'm excited to have found an art program for Matteo that I like. I'm surprised at my choice but it is a Mcgraw Hill pick called Understanding Art. This was recommended on a Charlotte Mason email loop, and I and Matteo both think he will really enjoy it. It is art through History in a chronological time line. I really like books that go in chronological order for history, but this combines art and history both. I think it will be a great addition to his schooling.

September lesson plans
We are sort of in limbo for the month of September until we get our books shipped to us. We do however have a lot of stuff to do. For instance the kids will be getting ready for a few contests for the local Renaissance festival so I have decided to list those. Don't you just LOVE the Internet? Even when our books come in I will supplement with the great lessons plans, videos, and information you can find online. I love that with homeschooling we can use all forms of media to enhance learning.
Both kids will continue their regular grammar and math lessons. We will add the lessons below as well.
Language Arts:
Combined for Matteo 7th grade and Nicko 3rd grade in order to get ready for poetry contest
What is a simile
writing poetry like pro's
all together now
Expository lesson plan
