Every August, the big discount stores have lists of school supplies at the front of the store. Teachers from local public schools submit what they would like students in their classrooms to have. Well, if I were teaching HomeschoolingTorah in my home, these are things I’d like to have handy for my “students.” 🙂 Don’t […]
Teaching High School
We are often asked if Homeschooling Torah includes high school subjects. When looking at the website, it can appear that teaching most of your students together means that advanced students will not be challenged or might even be left out. We have carefully checked the high-school graduation requirements in several states, so that college-bound students will […]
What is our “Hear, Learn, Keep, Do” Method?
When YHWH wants to teach mankind something, He follows a very specific method that I can copy in my homeschooling. For instance, let’s look at how YHWH teaches all mankind about His “invisible qualities, his eternal power, and divine nature”: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by […]
Biblical Homeschooling Methods
As I’ve studied the Scriptures, I’ve noted that the book of Deuteronomy seems to suggest specific methods for not only what and why we should teach our children, but how we should teach them. I’ve also noticed that each chapter or group of chapters seems to follow a specific theme. I’ve been wondering if it […]
Good Ways for Mom to Spend the Summer
Please note that this post contains links to books and resources that will pay me a small commission if you click on the links. I truly only recommend things that I use and love…Â I am having a hard time believing how quickly this summer is going. We have had friends and family visit, so […]
Common Core State Standards
Many people contact us to ask about our stance on the Common Core State Standards (or CCS). Foundations Press, our publishing company, has therefore prepared an official statement: We believe that God’s Word, the Scriptures (all 66 books), are the only “Common Core” that matters. If the states pass a standard that happens to match […]
Time for God, Husband, and Kids — When You’re Exhausted!
I received an excellent reader question lately, and she gave permission for me to share it with you: I am a homeschooling mom of 8. Our oldest child is 18 and no longer at home, but the others are 10, 8, 8, 6, 4 (with Asperger’s), 2, and newborn. 1. How do you prioritize your […]
How to Teach Chemistry and Physics
Why Teaching Chemistry and Physics Is So Hard It’s been 20 years since you had high school math or science. You weren’t paying attention 20 years ago. You didn’t even understand it if you had paid attention. You didn’t think you’d ever need to know this stuff. The textbook you found for your student is […]
Difficult High School Subjects
If you’ve been following along with our current year’s homeschooling plans, you know that we’re homeschooling five children, plus we have two little ones. This gives us a 10th grader, 7th grader, 6th grader, 4th grader, and 1st grader. Several of you have written to me, wondering how we get everything done in a day. […]
Keeping Life Uncluttered
At HomeschoolingTorah, members can access our free e-book on how to organize their homes. Now let’s tackle keeping our homes free of clutter! Here are some things I’ve noticed about clutter: Homemaking can reveal my heart. In my own life, clutter has taught me that my heart is not quite as pure as I’d like to […]
Who’s In Charge (in Your Homeschool)?
This post is an excerpt from Anne’s book on how to organize and plan for a new homeschooling year. God’s precious Spirit would never guide you down any path that contradicts what He has commanded in His Word. We know that the Bible says wives are to be in submission to their husbands “in everything” […]
God’s Lesson Plans
Ephesians 2:19-20 tells us that we are members of God’s household, “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets.” Paul refers to this again in 2 Timothy 3:14-17, when he reminds young pastor Timothy, “But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from […]
