A book written about homeschoolers, for homeschoolers {and others}, that is full of vivid characters and places making the reader want to return to it again and again. Here's a description of the book, Seekers Of The Lost Boy, directly from … [Read more...] about Seekers Of The Lost Boy

The Extracurricular Homeschool
Here at The Curriculum Choice we usually talk about curriculum, but a huge part of homeschooling involves extracurricular activities. Of course it can be hard to distinguish between activities that are part of the curriculum and those that are not, so a homeschooler’s definition of ‘extracurricular’ may be somewhat nebulous. It can include sports, music, drama, art, nature, and clubs as well as … [Read more...] about The Extracurricular Homeschool

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on which child I’m talking to), I never seem to get around to teaching art as a hands-on, let’s-get-creative-and-make-a-mess activity. I don’t know why; it’s just one of those things. So what do my children do for art? Well, we do Charlotte Mason style picture study every few weeks, and each of my … [Read more...] about Art with A Purpose
