Marvelous Mondays
By Kendra | March 28, 2009
Copperswife and Preschoolers and Peace are teaming up to bring you
Marvelous Mondays!
This coming Monday, March 30, Cheryl (Copperswife) and I will
begin a series of reviews of homeschool curricula. Each Monday, until we
run out of topics, we will discuss what we’ve used and liked, as well as
what we’ve used and not liked, in a particular subject area. We’re not
comparing notes ahead of time, and I think it will be great fun to see where
we agree and where we disagree!
Every homeschool family is different. In fact, most of us have
different sorts of homeschooling needs within our own families. Sometimes
it’s helpful to know what worked for another person and why, and it’s just
as helpful to know what didn’t work and why. What has failed miserably in
my own home might work beautifully in yours!
We have no desire to sound as if we know it all, because we don’t.
We’re hoping to encourage you and to give you a bit of help in discerning
what might work for your family.
Cheryl is the homeschooling mother of 4 who began educating her daughters at home in 1989. She is still homeschooling two sons, and just welcomed her fifth grandbaby into the family!

REALLY looking forward to this. I am continually thankful for the resources and experiences you share – especially at this time when we are just starting out and beginning to think about these things. It’s so helpful!

Sorry, I am new to some of these things… what does it mean, on Monday? Do I go to the link at a certain time, or how does it work?

Oh thank you!!! And great timing, i’m starting to think about what to do next year!

Lisa-
We’ll both put our posts up in the middle of the night, so you can read them both whenever it works for me. If it’s easiest for you, read mine first and then click on over to Chery’ls through the link I’ll provide.

How awesome. I will be embarking in my first year of homeschooling grade-school kids… so knowing about a variety of curriculum and other people’s experiences with them will be awesome!!
I also will enjoy your realistic take… you have a busy house with kids of all ages… sometimes more of the “hands on”/ project curriculum is inviting but may not be possible with smaller kids also running around wanting attention:)

Thank you so much – Looking forward to your thoughts and advice! I’ve always enjoyed your perspective on life and homeschool while raising a lot of little ones. It never fails to encourage!
