We’ve always planned on having our children learn Spanish. It is a very useful language to know in many parts of the U.S., including our area of North Carolina. We even purchased Rosetta Stone software when our children were younger. We haven’t made learning Spanish a priority though, so they’ve learned very little. Even though…
The Great Latin Adventure
As a classical educator, though somewhat relaxed, we have made Latin a consistent subject in our homeschool. While many people do not see the value of teaching Latin, especially in the elementary years, I have found the study of Latin enhances English vocabulary and provides tremendous reinforcement of grammar concepts. Not only that, but I…

Time4Learning Preschool
Time 4 Learning is an on-line educational program that is designed to help make learning fun. I was able to review Time 4 Learning for my elementary students last year. Since that time they have added a Preschool program. Lucky for me, I knew just the preschooler to try out the Time 4 Learning. My…
Math Galaxy
When I look back over this year on the Homeschool Crew, I’ll always remember it as the math year — the on-line math year. I have had the opportunity to review lots of math products this year, and Math Galaxy was somewhat at a disadvantage with its review being later in the year. When I…
