Homeschooling Meme

I don’t think I’ve ever done one of these, but Mama Squirrel tagged me, and I was so flattered I had to play along…plus I think the questions are fun. If you have a chance, read Mama Squirrel’s answers at the link above. She compared her 2006 answers to today, which was interesting to me!

1. ONE HOMESCHOOLING BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED
   

   Just one? Well, my all-time go-to resource is Charlotte Mason’s sixth volume, Towards a Philosophy of Education. Might I pick a second? My favorite education books ever is Poetic Knowledge.

2. ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN’T BE WITHOUT
   

   My wall timeline. It is a project we enjoy year after year.

3. ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT
   

   Are you going to hate me that I don’t have one? I have never had the money to buy many resources, so the main extras we have are things that I have test-driven for publishers for free.

4. ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR
   

   Hmmm. I don’t think I’d call this our Number One Favorite, but what comes to mind first is Bob Parson’s Simply Draw {reviewed here}.

5. ONE RESOURCE YOU WILL BE USING NEXT YEAR
   

   Goodness! Why does this feel so hard all of a sudden? Oh! I know: Visual Latin. Love it already.

6. ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY
   

   I have a whole list of things I wish I could add if I had double the budget. My oldest is trying to teach himself to draw birds, so I think number one on my wishlist right now would be a copy of John Busby’s Drawing Birds.

7. ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED
   

   The fabled Ambleside Year 12.

8. ONE HOMESCHOOLING CATALOGUE YOU ENJOY READING
   

   Veritas Press and The Classical Teacher from Memoria Press.

9. ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY 
   

   Shock: Ambleside Online. I also like to look at Charlotte Mason Help and my beloved CiRCE Institute.
