Homeschooling, Adam Clarke style… (Adam who?!)
by Mairead Barnhizer | Jan 11, 2011 | Our Philosophy & Methods
Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible, originally published in the early 1800s, has an interesting note on Deuteronomy 6:25. It is about the most excellent summary of homeschooling philosophy I've ever read. I can't stop thinking about it. I wish I were smart enough...

The Multi-Age Homeschool
by Anne Elliott | Dec 31, 2010 | Blog, Free Teacher Training, Teaching Multiple Ages
One of the toughest things about homeschooling is managing multiple ages at once. Since I believe that my job as a mother is to be with my children while they're learning (see Deuteronomy 6:7 and Proverbs 29:15), I have to figure out how to be with seven different...

Today, we're continuing on with our discussion from chapter 3 of Juggling Life's Responsibilities. "According to Jeremiah 17:9, we should not trust our own judgment. Why not?" Let me give you a little background to this discussion. In my Juggling book, I wrote, "Women...

The Fear of the LORD
by Anne Elliott | Dec 10, 2010 | Blog, Our Philosophy & Methods
As we continue our Bible study from my Juggling Life's Responsibilities, we see this question: "According to Psalm 111:10, where does wisdom begin?" "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding" (Psalm 111:10)....

Motivation for Learning
by Anne Elliott | Nov 5, 2010 | Uncategorized
How can we motivate our children to learn? I absolutely love homeschooling and have no desire to educate my children in any other way, but admittedly, one of the biggest drawbacks to homeschooling is the lack of competition and the give-and-take that can happen in a...

Homeschooling in a Modern Pantheon
by Anne Elliott | Sep 10, 2010 | Blog, Our Philosophy & Methods
We're deep into the history of Rome here in our homeschool, currently studying the ceasars before Nero, during the spread of the gospel and the lives of the apostles. It's really fascinating stuff! 🙂 We recently studied about some of the temples constructed for...

Homeschooling Goals – Unschooling
by Anne Elliott | Sep 3, 2010 | Blog, Our Philosophy & Methods
As I mentioned in an earlier post on homeschooling goals, many times we homeschoolers are guilty of being sluggish in our thinking, too quickly adopting goals as our own when we haven't compared them against Scripture. Often we make goals by reading popular books or...

Homeschooling Goals
by Anne Elliott | Aug 20, 2010 | Blog, Our Philosophy & Methods
If you’ve been thinking about homeschooling for any length of time, you’ve seen books and articles that recommend that you make goals for your children’s education. I remember when my oldest son was just a few years old. My husband and I heard this same advice, and we...
