Top Picks for Home Schooling Science and Math Curriculum and Projects

"For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them." - Aristotle

I've been home schooling my two girls for the past six years. My oldest will be a junior looking forward to college. My youngest is a freshman just starting her high school years. Both have done well, and I owe much of our success to finding the right curriculum for their learning style and interests. I'm very much into project-based learning, or as I would like to call it, experiential learning. Learning that takes place by actually doing and not just reading about your subject. Hands-on learning has been the cement that has glued the facts studied to their long term memory.

I am a product of the public school system. Although, I managed to make great grades, and move on through college, much of what I had learned through school, I lost over time. I want a different experience for my daughters. I want them to experience learning and develop a love for learning and I believe that project-based or experiential learning is what is working for them.

My daughters started out in public school until 4th and 2nd grades. For various reasons, we decided at the start of their 5th grade and 3rd grade year to home school. This has been a choice that we have not regretted.

I'll be adding to this lens over time. Please come back often as I work to expand this lens.
