Looks like a “feast!” ; ) How are you doing?
I am well, my friend, and I hope that you are, too. I am just THRILLED that you’ve returned to Blogland. From the looks of your posts, you’ve not skipped a beat!
I love your blog…I’m homeschooling a 7th and 10th grader. I love your curriculum for the 2015-2016 school year.
Thank you, Renee, and thanks for the visit. God’s richest blessings on your homeschooling journey!!
I homeschool an 8th grader and work full time! I hope to have my curriculum choices up soon. I noticed you are using Time4Learning for one class. We’ve used it in the past. Do they provide different pricing for just one course?
Thanks for the visit. Unfortunately, I believe that Time4Learning charges a flat fee for up to 4 courses, whether you actually use 4 courses or not. You might contact them via e-mail, though, to confirm. I have only used it for one year and one subject with each of our children, so I could be wrong.
Love the Discovery Day. I know some people have moved from Time4Learning to Acellus. We did a ‘trail’ and liked it but used study.com instead.
Nita, thanks. I am not “sold” on Time4Learning, so I might check out Acellus as well. My MIL, a public school teacher for decades, gave us a biology text, so after this semester of T4L’s “Nature of Science,” we might move there, and so it will be a while before we get back to online learning for science.
Thank you for sharing your schedule. Even after many years of walking this homeschool journey, I still find tremendous value in learning from others. Your plan reminded me to formally include current events on our schedule. It is one of those subjects that we do organically in our home, so long as we remember. Putting it on the schedule will certainly help jog that memory!
Nicole, thanks so much for the visit, and yes, without some formality, we quickly become one of those “so long as we remember” families, too!! Plus, I am trying to get a very plugged-in teen to recognize what is news worthy of her time and attention versus what the hottest celeb is doing/ saying/ wearing. It gives us a chance to teach discernment, too!!
Hi there! Where can I purchase or download your curriculum? Thank you, Michelle Dias
Hi, Michelle, and thanks for the visit. Please visit http://blessedheritage.com to see and purchase our curriculum. Thanks.
I just watched your interview on Youtube, “Rise of African American Homeschooling” on the HedueMedia channel. I loved it! I am thankful for your advice. The way you said God led you to homeschool, I feel he is doing the same with me. I am about to pull my daughter out of public school. She is in 8th grade. I am excited to take this journey. I am a working mom but will adjust my schedule accordingly. We will start with evening homeschool, then we will transition to day homeschool once I can switch schedules at work (and I’m going on maternity leave in December, so that will help a lot). God bless you!
Candra, how very exciting, and yes, there are working moms from all walks of life who homeschool. I am glad to have inspired you, and thanks for stopping by to say so!
I will be homeschooling my 8th grader in August what history book do you use for middle school age
Congratulations to you on starting your journey!
We study American history during those middle school years, and I use the history that I developed. At that level, we use “This Far by Faith.” You can see our entire product line at http://blessedheritage.com.
If you are studying another era of history, I might be able to suggest some curriculum; just let me know, and thanks for the visit.
Hi Belinda,
I am homeschooling a 7th, 5th and a 2 year old. This is my second year I use memoria press but I want to do a little shift for history this year to African American History. I am Haitian American so I was super happy when I saw your book on Haiti. Can I just use Volume 1 of your curriculum or do I need to do Volume 2 as well this year? Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you soon as I am in the process of ordering everything so I can start school after Labor Day.
You can certainly use volume 1 by itself. It contains early American history through the Anerican Civil War. If there is a specific product that interests you, please write me at belinda.bullard@blessedheritage.com and let me know.
Hello Belinda,
Blessings to you and your family. I am a new homeschool mom. I will be using the Good and the beautiful for the most part and maybe Saxon Math I have not chosen a History curriculum. I saw your interview and I am interested in your course. My son is 11 years old in the 6th grade. I am not sure where to start. Do you think you can guide me? My children are African American and Latino. I love how you represent all history that usually are not taught in public school. Would love your insight and any guidance you can give me.
Alina, hi, and congratulations on getting started on your homeschool journey! By this time, I see that you are a customer, for which I am very thankful. Please, as you are working through our curriculum with your children, feel free to write and ask questions as needed. Thank you again.
Who is the author of “How to Read a Book?”
He is Mortimer J. Adler. Thanks for stopping by.
Excellent curriculum choices.
Many thanks! Blessings on your year!
