This workshop covers foreign language, composition, handwriting, literature, poetry, spelling, and dictation.
4. Balancing Act: To Structure or Not to Structure
Only YOU know if you need to loosen up or tighten up your home school efforts. Achieve the long, sought after balance between unschooling and planned academics by implementing Charlotte Mason’s “short lessons.” Replace dawdling with good habits so that everybody has more free time to enjoy life.

3. Educational Materials: Find the best, ignore the rest
Once an educational method is chosen and implemented then some new issues will surface. What subject matter will I teach? Do I need a scope and sequence? Do I need to purchase a curriculum? How much will all of this cost? This workshop covers how to select educational books and literature while preserving both the love of learning and frugality. Learn how to determine which curriculum is worthwhile and how to select the best materials.
