There are many options for homeschool curriculum, but this is what we have settled on for the 2020-2021 academic year.
This marks our tenth year of homeschooling and it’s crazy to think that I have a 12th, 10th, and 7th grader. Much planning goes into each school year and I wanted to share our curriculum with you.

HOMESCHOOL ROOM
Our homeschool area is actually a “nook” right off our kitchen. It is a very convenient location for our family. And I really enjoy having a home base for all of our books and supplies.

After each homeschool year, I clear out the completed curriculum, art projects, and supplies. The area also gets a thorough cleaning.
And then before we begin a new homeschool year, I organize the nook for the upcoming year. It often feels empty, but I know that it will accumulate many things as the year goes on.

Yay! So glad we found these two as they’ve both been such a blessing. I’ve learned a ton of grammar from Easy Grammar. 😉
