2026-2027 Curriculum Choices
We will soon begin our 4th year of homeschooling, and I can hardly believe it! This year, I’ll have a 1st and 4th grader home with me, along with a 5 month old. Our 4, almost 5, year old will go to preschool 4 days a week from 9-1. Every year of homeschool has looked different, and I’m looking forward to finding this year’s rhythm. Below I’m sharing the curriculum we’ve chosen to study this year. I value a rigorous education while also making sure there is plenty of time for play. We love for our interests to lead our learning. When we come across something interesting, we happily detour from our curriculum to learn more! You can often find us watching a documentary or heading to the library to find a book to learn more! You can also find us skipping lessons altogether for a day of fun or reading “just one more” chapter on the couch! Here’s to a new school year and all the learning ahead!
