You not only have to prepare your kids, but prepare your curricula and prepare yourselves! It can all be a little overwhelming. In today's article, I want to offer a reflection about three things to keep in mind as we kick off the fall semester. 

What role does kindergarten fill in a homeschool setting, and how should we approach education at home with our 4- to 6-year olds? To begin, let's learn a little bit about where kindergarten came from and it's original purpose.

What does Christ centered homeschooling mean? What do we mean when we say we are Catholic homeschoolers? How does being a Catholic homeschooler differ than being a non-religious homeschooler? How do our obligations to God and the Church figure into the way we structure our homeschooling routine?

What if you quit homeschooling but want to come back to it again? Here are tips to help you move forward and be successful.

How to get your kids excited about learning history!

Focus your strengths! You might not have the money to buy the latest box set curricula, but maybe you're darn good at finding quality resources in the library. Or maybe you're not very academically oriented yourself but you're great at crafting and creative projects. That's fantastic! Instead of working through a history book with your kids, do some historical-themed art projects. Work to your strengths.
