As a homeschool momma I found this book incredibly beautiful. It not only helps me look at my children and their eduction in a new light, but myself. #homeschool

This book reads like a textbook, which made it really hard to connect with it. And it‘s LONG (275 pages of double-column text). Though nominally supportive of general homeschooling, it‘s specific to unschooling for most of the text. I don‘t feel like I got much out of it, except for a few resources to look into. There are better, more current books out there.

As a #homeschool parent I have moments where I am amused by my children. Tonight looking at the two books my nine year old is currently reading was one of them. #history #science

This book is an excellent inspiration for simple painting projects inspired by the work of current artists. My kids tend to take the projects to the next level. 😆

Cinfhen Hey, Mama!!!! So nice to see the girls!!!!!! How‘s the newest member of the family???? How are you???? 4y
Lindy Looks like lots of creative fun. 😊 4y
Bookwomble I like the skull your daughter is painting - is this getting ready for Halloween, or just a natural gothic affinity? 😊💀 4y

saresmoore @Bookwomble It is a natural affinity! She knows more about bats, snakes, plagues, and death than any other nine-year-old I know. ☠️ She also loves babies & kittens and has invented a hilarious persona of a snarky old woman, named Auntie Mia, who calls everyone “Dearie.” She‘s a complex individual. 😆 4y
saresmoore @Lindy If we lived anywhere near you, I‘d be begging for a chance for us all to sit at the feet of your creative curiosity. You inspire me! ♥️ 4y
saresmoore @Cinfhen We are all doing really well, though we are missing time with friends. Clara is an absolute gem and we all adore her chubby cheeks and baby squeals. Life is hard work, but so, so good! How are you, sweet friend? 4y
Lindy @saresmoore That‘s so sweet of you to say. I would welcome you and your girls, as long as nobody steps on my broken toes. I‘m hobbling slowly these days. 4y
saresmoore @Lindy I‘m sorry to hear that! It‘s amazing how much such a small part of the body can slow you down so much. 4y
Lindy @saresmoore Yes, it‘s both big toes. Turns out they play an important role in balance when walking. It‘s been two weeks, so healing is happening. 4y
TrishB Gorgeous inspiring pic ❤️ I‘m in awe how you fit it all in. 4y
Cinfhen I‘m in awe of all you do too 🙌🏻Baby squeals sound wonderful 🥰we‘re well, missing family SO MUCH 😢 4y
britt_brooke Love this! Such creative little ladies. And my paint bin looks identical. 😂 4y
saresmoore @britt_brooke Of course it does! 😂 4y

I‘m loving this history timeline picture book. It‘s told from the perspective of a boy who finds history boring, so his teacher gives him a magical notebook that transports him to different times in the past. There are interesting facts and profiles of famous people and it is, refreshingly, not a whitewashed version of history. And the illustrations are beautiful!

This year, on the first day of homeschool, my older girls woke up to a letter from the esteemed headmistress (baby Clara) of S‘Moores School of Innovation & Inquiry, inviting them to enter the parallel world of a boarding school where “magic is in the mind.” They were each placed in a house named for a famous woman innovator (Grace Hopper & Temple Grandin) and began their journey of imaginative exploration for a new school year. 👇

tpixie I‘d love to send my grandchildren to your school! Awesomeness!! 4y
saresmoore They each designed a house crest and came up with a motto based on the qualities they share with the remarkable woman for whom their designated house was named. Two things are clear: Harry Potter informs our family mythos and I have a lot of fun with homeschool... maybe too much. 😆 4y
saresmoore @tpixie It‘s so much fun! 4y

saresmoore @batsy I dunno about brilliant, but if that‘s true, it takes one to know one! ♥️♥️♥️ 4y
saresmoore @TrishB Yes! ♥️ It never gets old! 4y
saresmoore @LeahBergen You know you‘re always welcome! And fortunately our school exists in a parallel world so there‘s no Trump here. 🤪🙃 4y
GingerAntics No Trump there?! I wanted to get sorted before, but now I REALLY want to get sorted...or sweep the floors, or whatever needs sweeping in this parallel world, or be a librarian, or a library book maybe!!! 4y
saresmoore @GingerAntics Next life goal: reincarnate as a library book 4y
GingerAntics @saresmoore right? It‘d be a pretty cool life. 4y
Suet624 You‘re amazing. 4y
ValerieAndBooks Wow 🤩!! 4y
BiblioLitten That‘s amazing! 🤩🤩 4y
Moray_Reads I'd love an honorary membership to what sounds like an absolutely wonderful school, mine did have houses named after women (former headmistresses) but this sounds much better. And congratulations on your new arrival, she's beautiful 😍 😍 4y

Using this with my son to accompany Paradise Lost in our #homeschool. Just wanted to show what it looks like!

The modern English seems a bit simplistic when you also look at the original. But if my kids don‘t enjoy the harder literature, I want it to be because they don‘t like the story vs. because they barely floated thru it/didn‘t understand what the authors were saying. My son is a super reluctant reader, so these tools work well for us!!

Texreader This is awesome. I would have loved this sort of thing when I had to read Paradise Lost. 4y

I read this with my son for school, and I‘ve read it in previous years with my daughters #homeschool

It‘s good, but I didn‘t love it like I have some of the other hero tales we‘ve studied. There is a lot here in the way of moral character and flaws and humility, and I like all of the symbolism with the Christian faith. But this one just doesn‘t make me as excited as Beowulf or Chaucer‘s Tales 🤷🏻‍♀️

I love it, but I understand why some do not. I‘ve had the pleasure of reading it in high school and with my three teens, and what a joy!! The best thing about it is that we read together, analyzed it, and discussed it together. Everyone in the house has at least a respect for it, even if we all disagree on how “good” it is.

I love the adventure and swords, the knights and warriors, the mead hall, and the monsters and heroes. #homeschool #reread

I just pulled the first three books my son will use for school in the fall!! I think we may go ahead and get partially started on the next school year so we‘ll be at least a little bit ahead. My son is a reluctant reader. This is not the first time I‘ve done this particular English course with my family, so while my son is reading for content and theme for papers etc, I‘m going to enjoy my re-rereads 🤓 #homeschool

AllieLovesBooks I read these for a class last year and really enjoyed them, I realized how many elements in modern stories are taken from classics! 📚💚 4y
intothehallofbooks @OrtizReads1 Yes!! They‘re timeless. 4y
