If you ended up here from Instagram where I was talking about Apologias science fair, sign your children up! It really looks super neat! Sams not doing it but if he were I already have several ideas of what he could do. 

Guys, Samuel loves doing sink or float experiments. Although I think he actually likes the water play more but he still goes along with our sink or float guesses. Another idea would be having him talk about the human body. Like all the veins or the skeleton system. Ok so a third idea would be something with wind. Like how kites fly or something like that. 

Anyways...

Apologia is a Christian based curriculum company specializing in science, math, bible, and worldview curriculums. They are a solid, award-winning business that has taken the time and care to create a curriculum that provides a well-rounded education, one that you can trust. 

One super important thing about Apologia is it is adaptable to the teaching methods within your homeschool. You can either teach from books that you can buy from Amazon or you can sign up for one of their on-line programs. For the on-line programs, btw, there is a self-paced option, or your child can actually sign up for a live class.

Go over and check out Apologia now. Get signed up for that science fair too. Just fill out their form and follow the rest of the instructions. It'll be a fun opportunity for you guys.

To Know God and To Make Him Known

Quite frankly, you will probably have several responses to this question. And the answers can vary depending by child. It sure does in my house. These answers can also maybe feel inconsequential. 

But it is an important question. Because depending on how much you want your children on electronics or not WILL dictate which type of curriculum you decide on. Like, if you dont want your child watching a ton of television for fun, then you may not want a curriculum that requires a lot of teaching videos. It could send a super confusing and contradictory message.

However, I know that there are some of you that don't have the same concerns with electronics and those forms of media. Or have a family dynamic that necessitates using an online curriculum. In my home, we do rely heavily on tv time, especially in the mornings. Especially when I worked full time, it was the best way to manage our mornings. Full stop, it just was. We still do tv time every morning...

Check out this page on my website. You will find a list of dedicated online programs. Keep in mind though, there are a whole lot of additional companies that offer online options. Like Memoria Press. They offer plenty of curriculums that are hands on, non electronic, but now offer an online option.

​Compass Classroom offers a different way of adding video and online education. They offer videos by subject. It's a little bit more like a unit study education versus what you think of as a traditional curriculum, whether it's online or not.

Take a look around Journey2Homeschool, see what you can find!
