As we wrap up our second school year using <a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/" target="_blank">Catholic Schoolhouse</a> and interacting with many educators on Facebook interested in the program, I thought it would be helpful if I went through and wrote out some of the things I have learned about how to use this program at home only or in conjunction with the Chapters. I do not want anyone to start using or be confused on how to use this REALLY SIMPLE and amazing program. Even though I had five children at the time in our school, only my smaller children used this program. My oldest was a junior in high school when we started and I didn't want to uproot him at this point so he completed his studies with Our Lady of Victory School but unenrolled. So my children at the time were ages 4, 6, 8, and 9 when we started using <a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/" target="_blank">Catholic Schoolhouse</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last year was our first year using<a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/" target="_blank"> Catholic Schoolhouse</a>, we started with <a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/product/year-1-tour-guide/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9" target="_blank">Year 1 </a>so that we were following along in the <a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/blog/" target="_blank">Blog</a> and the Chapters even if there wasn't a<a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/local-chapters/" target="_blank"> chapter</a> near me. We started mid school year because we ALL needed something different (burnout and all that jazz). It was totally a leap of faith and after begging DH about doing this mid year, he agreed and we did it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since it was our first time using it I decided to keep it simple and just follow the program. We did, we loved it and this year continued on to <a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/product/year-2-core-program/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9" target="_blank">Year 2</a> but this time I went ALL OUT and got WAY TOO MUCH to do, some of which we didn't even touch. Mid Year (it's like the Heavens open for me in January that I always have AHA moments during this time) I read <a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/2529-2/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9" target="_blank">Dorothy Sayers's The Lost Tools of Learning</a>. HA! I should have read this FIRST! Then I'd realized I was trying to do too much. We minimized and voila! found our happy medium! We learned SO MUCH and had SO MUCH fun! So what do you need to do to get hooked like I am? Here you go, an easy to follow, step by step approach to using CSH at home.:</div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b><b>STEP ONE: Read this First!</b></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are new to Catholic Schoolhouse, before doing anything else, please read Ms. Sayer's free pdf article entitled<a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/2529-2/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9" target="_blank"> The Lost Tools of Learning</a>. It really helped me grasp the bigger picture about what Classical Education really is and what I wanted for my homeschool and my children, to enjoy educating them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
STEP TWO: Decide on the Year to Work on!</h4>
<div>
Here is the Scope and Sequence broken down by year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDldVa_pTaLUCCYQN1yWbPuuajwlFX64sDbCTG-mQb4Qyq3LpxZ7aoPEI2NxAfHZDj0hGo-hSOT_1W9gjloL8TPePMZy-IFtqHOA5AtgTT5UANII7r0jHPKc74tP8RxPWrpkA1w5kt_c8/s1600/Scope+and+Sequence.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDldVa_pTaLUCCYQN1yWbPuuajwlFX64sDbCTG-mQb4Qyq3LpxZ7aoPEI2NxAfHZDj0hGo-hSOT_1W9gjloL8TPePMZy-IFtqHOA5AtgTT5UANII7r0jHPKc74tP8RxPWrpkA1w5kt_c8/s640/Scope+and+Sequence.jpg" width="544" /></a></div>
<div>
<br />
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></h4>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>STEP THREE: What to Buy?</b></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a new Catholic Schoolhouse parent, you only need the Tour Guide, the Timeline Cards, and the Music CDs. You can build your ENTIRE curriculum around these three items. If you want the Science experiments that line up with the Science memory work, get the <a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/learn-more/hands-on-science/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9" target="_blank">Supplemental Science Guide</a>. (If you are like me who never got around to doing hands on science, this is a MUST!). If you want Art projects that line up with the History memory work, then get the<a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/learn-more/integrated-art-program/?v=1d20b5ff1ee9" target="_blank"> Supplemental Art Guide</a>. (If you are like me that left ART for the very last and never had time for it, this is also a MUST!). So in addition to this, please DO NOT think you need to spend more money or your sanity on other things that you may not have. You will need to decide which Year you want to start with. I highly suggest you do the same year as the chapters even if you are not in one yourself (or yet).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>STEP FOUR: Check your bookshelves!</b></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You will be surprised to find you probably have many living books that line up with CSH already. Add these books in gradually and do not be like me and over do it! :) Keep it simple, one book per topic should cover things. If you are set up in quarters, one read aloud per time period is fabulous. Read it together and have LOVELY discussions with all your children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>STEP FIVE: Add math and Language Arts/Phonics</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You will want to add a mathematics book of your choice and also a Language arts program and Phonics book of your choice. Use what you already invested in or what you already have at home. Chances are you will not need to switch out of this OR eventually decide you want to do something simpler as I did for Language Arts. You can also check out Kathy's<a href="http://www.catholicschoolhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/What-Else-Should-I-Use.pdf?v=1d20b5ff1ee9" target="_blank"> "What Else Should I Use?" PDF</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So the bottom line is you DO NOT need to supplement to this program if you don't want to with just one exception, you will want a Math book and a Reading program. You can, however, just stick to the memory work and do your separate math and language arts and phonics lessons and you and your children WILL still walk away with an amazing classical education and an incredible love of learning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; text-align: start;">Have you homeschooled through the high school years? My son is a senior this year and I have written an article of what I faced at the beginning and in retrospect, the successful experience he has had since we took on the challenge of homeschooling him through the high school years. This is our story. I would love to hear what you did different? What did you like from our experience? Please share with others as they too might be just as afraid of this journey as I was four years ago.</span></div>

One of the things that I worried most about was, ahem, the social issues. I did not want him to miss out on Prom, and band, and any other great opportunity he might have had at the local public school. So for the first time, my husband and I when finishing the eighth grade, offered him the opportunity to go to a brick and mortar school. His reply was quick, short and to the point and completely convinced me that he was spot on. He said, “why would I want to expose myself to things that would damage my soul?” and went on to list things that on a moral level, would not be healthy. He was right and since we did give him this choice, we honored his very mature response. I should add, at this point he had only been homeschooled for three years as he went to a Catholic School from Preschool until the fifth grade. So once I let it sink in that I had to figure out his high school curricula, I got started on researching what we wanted to do. I had taught in the past for fifteen years but always avoided jobs at the high school level. </blockquote>

Since he wanted to study music and I am not musically inclined, this was a bit of a daunting task. In hindsight, I can tell you even an area where mom is not familiar with is definitely possible. Through speaking with people and asking for help from those in our area we were able to supply him with ample opportunities to train, participate and perform in many areas of music he was interested in. Here are the examples of what we did to make this happen for our son:</blockquote>

I am finally back on the blog! I have been so busy the past two years working hard to build content over at Catholic Sistas's Homeschooling Series that I had abandoned this blog. Sorry about that. I did try to keep in touch through the Facebook page and Pinterest pins but I know it is not the same. After much thought, I have decided to continue blogging about our new found love for Catholic Schoolhouse, a Catholic Classical approach to education. It is lovely, think of the one room school house but in your home and Catholic! <a href="http://www.catholicsistas.com/2015/06/12/one-room-schoolhouse-approach-catholic-schoolhouse/" target="_blank"> I blogged about our decision to use Catholic Schoolhouse at Home last month over at Catholic Sistas under Raising Saints.</a> </div>

The CSH History Cards are fantastic. On one side there is a picture of a historical event, on the back is the title and a gist of the event. While you can just teach from this I like to add activities and resource books for further investigation. </div>

This is the Science (HANDS ON) Guide for year 2. I love this guide because I do not really love Science BUT my children do and it helps me pretend like I do - hahaha! Well I should say I do like to read about Science (as a Reading Specialist I better like that huh?) but the hands on part I am normally horrible on. Since we started using CSH, we do hands on science! YAY! </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">My fifth grader will be working closely with my fourth grader with some exceptions. He is using Living through God's Gifts for religion, American Cardinal Reader Book Five for Reading, all the other books are the same as his sister, except that in Math he will be further ahead than her in this book....as well as the Intermediate Language lessons because he stated these last year. They do share books so they have to coordinate using them at different times of the school day.</span></div>

This is the set my second grader is using. For Grammar he is doing Primary Language lessons, for reading he is using American Cardinal Readers Book Two, for Math he is using Ray's New Primary Arithmetic with the Classical Curriculum workbooks which there are four but I bought only the first two and come mid year I will buy the next two. For Spanish he and my first grader are using the Coquito Classico books found on Amazon. For religion he uses Living by God's Law in preparation for FHC.</div>

<span style="background: white; color: #252525; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Thomas Aquinas knew what it meant to be happy.
He knew that it meant to no longer be seeking or desiring anything else. He
knew that meant you needed to be with God, next to Him, face-to-face. Thomas,
as well as the over 10,000 other patron saints, are all perfectly happy. Having
sought after and fulfilled their destiny by now being face-to-face with God,
each patron saint has the ability to intercede on our behalf. Being
face-to-face with God gives them the unearthly ability to hear our prayer, take
it directly to God, and pray along with us. </span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Hello friends of Hildegard! Happy Feast Day! And when I say Feast Day, I don’t just mean a celebration of the life of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07351a.htm">St. Hildegard of Bingen</a>. I also want to share some of my favorite Hildegard recipes so you can create your own feast at home today with your children.<br /><br />Here is a hearty Hildegard breakfast you can start your Feast Day with – Spelt Porridge. </span><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Many thanks to the kind folks at Marx Foods for this delicious recipe!</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Though it looks like one, this isn’t sweet enough to be a dessert. Instead it’s an incredible breakfast that can be served hot or cold, with or without milk. Baking it in the oven rather than stirring it on the stove gives it a denser texture and frees you from the stove.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="color: #333333; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">Directions:</span></span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><br />1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees & rub an 8×8 baking dish with butter.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">2. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the cracked spelt and toast it, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">3. Move the toasted spelt to a bowl and stir in the milk, 1 teaspoon of orange zest, vanilla extract, 1/3 cup of maple sugar, salt and water.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">4. Pour the spelt mixture into the baking dish. Put the dish on a baking sheet or cookie sheet (just in case it bubbles over). Move the dish to the oven.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">5. Bake for 35 minutes, then check the porridge – it will set up almost like a brownie when done.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">6. While the porridge is baking, combine the huckleberries, remaining teaspoon of orange zest and the remaining ¼ cup of maple sugar in a small pot. Simmer until a thick sauce forms.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">7. Serve hot or cold, with or without milk.</span></span></div>

Two short years ago, a couple of young men dedicated their entire lives to the service of Holy Mother Church, mothers and fathers offered their sons to the Holy Priesthood, among these was the young Deacon Kenneth Walker. Father Kenneth J. Walker and his classmates were ordained to the Priesthood one beautiful Saturday morning in May, in year 2012, AD.</div>

He was assigned Associate Pastor at Mater Miserecordia Parish in Phoenix, AZ with Father Joseph Terra as his Pastor. Just a month shy of his second anniversary to his Ordination, Father Walker lost his life to a violent crime. Please pray for the repose of his soul, and the full recovery of Father Terra who was badly injured but now is making full recovery.</div>

While my family only met Father Walker one short moment at another FSSP event, it was evident that he was full of joy for the Lord and meeting him made a lasting impression on me. Many accounts I have read for those fortunate to have called him brother or friend, tells a tale of a young man who from a ripe age knew the Lord was calling him to the Holy Priesthood. Also, a man who loved God so much and who truly lived the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, he lived to love God, to know God and to serve God with all his might. Reports tell us that Father Terra, though badly injured, was able to administer Last Rites to Father Walker while they awaited the police and ambulance to arrive. </div>

Isn't it just beautiful? So the printable I created has five pages, here are the instructions for all five of them {though they are pretty obvious}. What I did was print the first page as a cover page and the additional four front and back to save on paper, then I stapled them on the left hand side like a little book:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Cover Page, to color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Page 1, to trace the prayer and color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Page 2, to color and practice the prayer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Page 3, to color in the picture and also the bubble letters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Page 4, to practice the prayer and also copy it on the lines.</div>

Seriously, I’ve been working on this little list for years now and have had a chance to institute it with my lovely {but very headstrong} five little blessings and guess what? IT WORKS! And since it works {and I struggled so long to find something like this} I had to share it. So here it goes; of course, some days this plan won’t work because illnesses happen, babies are born, etc., etc., but under somewhat normal conditions, this plan really does work:</span></div>

When I was in college, I prayed and discerned a vocation to become a sister or a nun. I was enthralled by the Carmelite Sisters of the Sacred Heart; of which I had had the honor of working with and for at a Catholic School in Florida. Fortunately for me, I was assigned to work with Sister Maria Kolbe whom not only directed me and taught me her ways as a model teacher but, more importantly, she showed me the joy in following Our Lord Jesus in all we do. I wanted that joy she had SO BAD! But after years of praying, God told me He had other plans for me. Years later, I married a man whom also discerned at vocation to the priesthood (to the <a href="http://fssp.com/press/" style="border: 0px; color: #dfc521; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="FSSP">Fraternity of Saint Peter</a>), we met, fell in love, got married and five children and ten years later, here I am homeschooling. I could not help but wonder what life would have been IF God had called me to become a Carmelite…you know, after all, the grass is always greener on the other side.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #737373; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.5px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Since coming home to home educate our five precious blessings, I have struggled with many things and one of those was surrendering to THIS life, the life God had called me to. Always looking to feed the ego, I wanted to be either an amazing teacher (to other people’s children, because society thinks it is more prestigious than teaching my own) OR become a sister in full habit, like the Carmelites. But nooooooo….God had other plans and I was being rebellious and fighting Him about it. Now, I am not an expert at this at all, *even with* my teaching degree…homeschooling? staying home all the time? was He really serious??? So the whys and the tantrums that were going on in my head constantly were arguing with the shush I was yearning for in my heart. UNTIL that is, last Friday when I went to Confession. My Spiritual Director heard these words come out of my mouth, “I still struggle with being distracted, I yearn for the outside world, I miss my family, I want adult contact and I am so jealous of my husband who gets all of this!!! It is not fair!” Yes, my dear sisters, I was having a full blown toddler tantrum in the Confessional! Dear Father P was so sweet, he stopped me with his gentle fatherly manner and said, “Dear child, the Lord has gifted you with your own mini monastery at home with your children. He has entrusted you with five beautiful souls to form! He has taken you OUT of the world and asked you to look inside of yourself and to create a monastic life for your children. The spiritual life that will be ingrained in your children and will with them Heaven. After all, is not that what you want for them?” AND so it hit me, what I always wanted, to have a contemplative life like the Carmelites had been sitting in my lap all this time and I was fighting it! Dummy! {got hit by a 2×4 once again!} I wanted to be just like Saint Therese but God was calling me to be more like Blessed Zelie, her mother!</div>

Listen carefully, my child, to my instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart. This is advice from one who loves you; welcome it, and faithfully put it into practice. Let us open our eyes to the light that comes from God, and our ears to the voice from the heavens that every day calls out this charge: “If you hear God’s voice today, do not harden your hearts (Psalm 95:8).”</div>

Therefore we intend to establish a school for God’s service. In drawing up its regulations, we hope to set down nothing harsh, nothing burdensome. The good of all concerned, however, may prompt us to a little strictness in order to amend faults and to safeguard love. … But as we progress in this way of live and in faith, we shall run on the path of God’s commandments, our hearts overflowing with the inexpressible delight of love.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #737373; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.5px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you are teaching reading to your little one or have a child who is having trouble reading, then it is vital that they become proficient in sight words. Sight words are about 87% of all the words that children read in their trade books. Words like “the” “in”, “a”, “it”, and “is” are all part of this very important list. These words are phonetically irregular words, meaning you cannot use phonics to decode them so they must be learned by sight. Knowing sight words is one of the basic building blocks when learning how to read and one that should not be ignored.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #737373; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.5px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What happens if the Reading or Phonics program you selected does not include the teaching of sight words? I suggest that you do it on your own and it is quite simple. <b><u>Am I saying that you shouldn't teach Phonics? NO! Never! Phonics is important or just as important as teaching sight words. </u></b> Many programs fail to integrate both of these in their reading programs, which is unfortunate but important for homeschooling moms to know. For the purpose of this post, I’m going to focus on sight words.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #737373; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.5px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There are two lists but most of the words overlap; Dolch Sight Words and Fry Sight Words are the two lists you can work from. In the 1940s, Dr. Edward William Dolch used 220 phonetically irregular words and 95 common nouns to create his Dolch Sight Word List. He chose words that were most often used in children’s reading books during the 1920s and 30s. In the 1990s, Dr. Edward Fry took the Dolch researched list and created 1,000 most frequently used words and put them in order of frequency. Children should be repeatedly exposed to these words so that they learn them quickly. This bolsters their reading self-esteem, which in turn makes them want to read more. You would be so surprised how your little Joseph or little Mary is going to want to start reading and selecting books at the library!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #737373; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.5px;">Writing has always been a priority in our Catholic Homeschool from when we first started, I’ve always</span></div>

provided our children with papers and writing utensils of all kinds. I have basically been very informal about it. Always making sure that the children from the moment they can grasp a spoon that they are given ample opportunities to explore with writing. Yes, I do start them out very early. It is a very natural approach to teaching the love of writing to my children, even if at the beginning the writing utensils spends most of its life drowned in drool. At first, this is a messy task but eventually my children learn that putting marker, pen, chalk, crayon, or colored pencil to paper, chalk board, dry erase board, notebook, or construction paper means we write letters and then words which together turn into sentences which eventually will make paragraphs with wonderful stories. Equally important is matching these words with pictures, beautiful colorful ones and even simple pencil drawn ones. We are constantly writing and my children don’t even notice that I am sneaking in some very important future writing skills in to them from early on.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #737373; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.5px;">As we started day two of this, our fifth homeschooling year, I am able to see how much this has helped my children be comfortable with writing. This year I am formalizing our writing a little more as my eldest little is in the third grade. I do realize when I was a school teacher children in the first and second grade were composing paragraphs, which is fine but I wanted to try a different approach. In my way of teaching I wanted the children always exposed to writing and drawing. As a Reading Specialist I thought it would be a great way to help children with reading comprehension in the future. I have noticed that when I read to my children they are constantly examining the pictures on the page as I read the lovely little stories they have been exposed to. This, in turn, helps them create images in their minds as they are reading to better understand and remember what was read. It is a known fact that children who write before they read become better readers than those who do not. So, to me, providing so much writing so early is a win-win situation. (This does not mean I am not providing reading opportunities either, reading to my children is equally important for both reading and writing.)</span></div>

I've always wanted to create covers for the children's composition books. We love composition books, I always buy them when they are $.50 a piece and love how sturdy they are. The ones that are fancier are more expensive and with five children buying those are not possible and keeping within our budget. So I decided I'd create some for my children instead. Of course, I want to share them with others. I've already shared them with Facebook friends. </div>

I printed two per page, cut them, and used simple school glue to glue them down. I might put a line of tape all around the edges if I see them start to turn up but I don't think it will be much of a problem. Here is what they look like:</div>

Selecting a curriculum can be a truly overwhelming task each year for homeschooling mothers. So many times I have said to myself, “if I could see that book, I’d know if I want it!” Right? Then you hop online look through blogs of perfect homes, with perfect mom teachers, that have the perfect school rooms, and then there is Pinterest…then you are headed to Confession, jealousy is a lousy sin. No seriously, is it not just frustrating? :D How do these women just *KNOW* that’s the right Math book? Why did it not work for *MY* child? :) Well, here’s why: There IS NOT one set curriculum that is perfect for everyone. There I said it. So here’s another secret that lady that introduced you to homeschool forgot to mention, the beauty of homeschooling is that you are able to create a custom curriculum that is beneficial to *YOUR* family. What works for another family may not be the best fit for another, or *gasp* what works for one of your children may not work for another. Okay, so now lets take a deep breath and investigate how these ladies on their blogs look so with it. I confess many times I have said, “when I grow up I want to be just like Jessica from <a href="http://showerofroses.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Shower of Roses</a>.” Don’t laugh, I have said it..even to her.<img alt=":D" class="wp-smiley ov-done" height="15" src="http://www.catholicsistas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border-bottom-left-radius: 0px; border-bottom-right-radius: 0px; border-top-left-radius: 0px; border-top-right-radius: 0px; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0.1em !important; vertical-align: baseline;" width="15" /></div>

Over the years our family has tried a variety of things – ranging from being an eclectic homeschooler, to using a complete curriculum package to creating things to use, and it has morphed into a combination of pieces that we now use together as a family and components that we use individually to round out the various subject areas. So how do you decide what is the right fit for your family/homeschool?</div>

For me, homeschooling was about pride for a long time. We were going to do everything differently from schooled children, every day, and all the time. There was no way I was going to teach my children like school systems teach or keep such a tight schedule. We will school in our pajamas and we will wake up when our body is ready to wake up! We will go on field trips at least once a week! We will do arts and crafts every day! Free range chickens vs. those chickens in those super crowded, mega sized coups. We are free range chickens!!! At least we were… until I realized that we are not.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #737373; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24.5px; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I realized that my family has needs that free range chickens do not have. By my family, I mean the mother hen (the rooster kinda goes with the flow most of the time when it comes to homeschooling issues. He mostly steps in to discipline when called upon by a frantic mother hen). Two years ago I gave in and took another look at my Free-Range Chicken Philosophy. Even though we were getting all our schoolwork done, there was an overall feeling of chaos throughout the day. From meal planning to lesson planning to crisis management, it was all improvised. Day in, and day out…free range chickens!</div>

So what was not working with this free range chicken philosophy? </div>

Quite often I am asked about how I deal with teaching religion in our homeschool. My thoughts on this have evolved over our 15+ years of homeschooling, mainly because I have evolved over that same time. When we first began homeschooling I was still in the learning phase of my faith; although I guess a more accurate term would be the “re-learning” phase because supposedly I had learned about my faith during my 10 years in CCD. What a joy it was to go through religion books with my oldest children when they were first starting out and learn right along with them. I think back in those early days we used almost every religion program out there: <a href="http://www.setonhome.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #dfc521; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Seton Homeschooling">Seton</a>, <a href="http://www.ignatius.com/promotions/faithandlife/" style="border: 0px; color: #dfc521; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Faith and Life">Faith and Life</a>, Image of God, The <a href="http://www.baltimore-catechism.com/index.htm" style="border: 0px; color: #dfc521; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Baltimore Catechism">Baltimore Catechism</a>.</div>

As our knowledge and our children grew, we began to venture out into the world of activities more often. We happen to belong to a homeschool group that is very focused on activities that revolve around the faith. It was after a few years of being involved in processions, Masses, field trips to religious places, talks given by priests and lay faithful, religious ceremonies, reading saint stories etc. that I realized that this was our religion class. Yes we still needed to read about the specifics and learn the ins and outs of our faith, but living it is what made it all come to life.</div>

That’s right, I would rather raise a dumb saint than a brilliant sinner. Why? Because I am raising my children to be heaven-bound. Obviously there were many great saints who were brilliant, and intelligence and holiness are not mutually exclusive. As parents we should certainly help our children strive for excellence in education. However, the salvation of their immortal souls should be our PRIMARY aim. I will do whatever is in my power (through God’s grace, of course), to be certain that my children will thrive in this secular world. So how? How is it possible to raise children to be heaven-bound you ask?<br /><br />When my first born was placed in my arms for the first time, fifteen years ago, it was both the happiest and the scariest moment of my entire life. No other joy in this world compared to the joy I felt at that very moment. At that moment, it dawned on me that I was personally responsible for taking care of this brand-new life. No other fear in this world compared to the fear I felt at that very moment. Forty-eight hours later, as I sat in the wheelchair and the nurse placed my little bundle of joy in my arms and waved good-bye, my heart sank for a second and I thought, “How on earth am I going to do this?” As I walked in the doors of our home, my concern turned to prayer and I said, “Help Lord, I don’t know what to do!” I felt the ginormous responsibility. My prayer was not necessarily for the physical needs of that tiny infant; my worry was more for the spiritual needs of my son. How was I, a sinner, going to do this incredible task of raising a child… a heaven-bound child?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A couple of years ago, in my local newspaper, there was a nice article about a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling">homeschooling</a> family with five children. They quoted the home schooled children and the author spoke statistics…when <img src="http://www.catholicsistas.com/wp-content/themes/prophoto4/images/blank.gif" />I saw it laying on my kitchen table, I thought wow how exciting and went on, with much enthusiasm, to read the article. Later on I checked my e-mail and saw lots of messages from local <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling">home schoolers</a> who were outraged by the comments being left on-line regarding the article. I skimmed through those messages (a bunch had already been blocked by the paper) and noticed the one prevailing topic: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialization">socialization</a>. Generalizations about any group of people is common among humans. So this was not a shocker. But when I read comments from other who have never walked in the shoes of a homeschooling family it made me think that they believe that we keep our kids in a closet (without windows) and don’t allow them to go out and be “socialized”.<br />

Holy Week is here! Do you feel like your children are ready for Holy Week? Are they ready to walk with Jesus? A couple of years ago, I had been stirring because I felt like my children were not really ready for Holy Week and the Crucifixion and, of course, Easter! Yes, we've been doing things all during Lent but I felt like now, they needed something more. One night I woke up in the middle of the night and the Holy Spirit gave me an idea! I say He gave me the idea because it was so perfect and brilliant that it could only be from God. So the next day, I put this together for our classroom! I am so proud of our children because they were so into our lesson as we talked about the days of the week and our Holy Week Journey to Easter Sunday! I really enjoyed making this and also loved its simplicity! What I wanted to accomplish with this was a visual of what Jesus, our Lord, went through during Holy Week. I wanted to help them walk with Jesus.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you have been following our series, I first wrote about the 10 Steps to Start Catholic Homeschooling and then on Goal Setting in the Catholic Homeschool, now we are going to discuss <img src="http://www.catholicsistas.com/wp-content/themes/prophoto4/images/blank.gif" />the different homeschooling methods available to you. So you’ve decided to Homeschool, you looked up the laws in your state, you contacted the local organization and even want to join a homeschool co-op. Now what? Well, now you need to decide what method you will use in your homeschool. First, I would like you to learn a little bit about yourself as a teacher and a former student.<br />

Have you set goals for your homeschool before you began your journey? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you thinking about homeschooling your children but do not really know the reasons why?</div>
<br />Here is an easy way to set goals for your homeschool. Though a "dry topic," goal setting is very important for every family thinking about homeschooling or home educating already. Knowing them in your head just is not enough, you need to organize them and write them down. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I mean it's not a super exciting topic BUT a very important one because I truly believe that if you set your philosophy and goals ahead of time, you will not doubt nor will you feel intimidated by others when questioned about your family's decision to home educate, not that it really matters what others think BUT when you have well thought out reasons, it's a great feeling!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
