Planning 9th Grade with Ambleside Online

We are officially entering the high school years at our house with K! We will be using Year 9 in Ambleside Online, adjusted to meet her needs. It's no joke that there is quite a bit of extra planning needed in preparation for these upper years! I found myself quite overwhelmed at times and am hoping I haven't overdone it with the book load, but we can always cut back and move things around if she finds it too much work. This daughter is a high achiever and loves to learn about such a variety of things that I think she will really enjoy the books and still continue to read in her spare time :). 

Reflections on Y6 and Y8 with Ambleside Online

I can't quite wrap my mind around it, but we are done with school! We just finished Year 6 and Year 8 with Ambleside Online and it was fabulous. I feel like I also learned a ton, right alongside them!

Charlotte Mason {in Church} Quarantine Edition

The great thing about Charlotte Mason is that short lessons work well for posting on YouTube! ;) Seriously, though, it has worked well to do video lessons and has been a blessing to many. It's not my favorite thing in the world to see myself in a video every week, but it works to keep the kids learning!

We manage to do ALL the things we normally do over a video... We still pray, read a Bible story, look at a picture, review our verses, sing our hymn and even do nature study with whatever the kids have on hand at home for drawing or painting!
