Queen Homeschool Supplies- Charlotte Mason Style Education

Queen Homeschool Supplies for all your Charlotte Mason Curriculum Needs!


Last year I started seriously looking for homeschool curriculum.  I really thought I would choose something similar to what I used when I taught Kindergarten.  But the one thing I forgot was that I wasn't teaching a class of 25, but my own child who has individual learning needs.  For once, I could choose what I wanted to teach.  That proved to be more of a difficult task than I imagined.

Now, I understand that every homeschool family has different reasons for picking what they are using for their children.  That's the beauty of it.  There are many great resources out there and I just wanted to choose what was best to work with my children.

About a year ago, one of the blogs I follow on Facebook posted a picture of a math book and history book with a picture of her kids on the back.  I read what she wrote about the curriculum and thought I would check it out. 

It was Queen Homeschool which follows the Charlotte Mason method.  I had heard of Charlotte Mason and actually thought there was not enough to it according to the standards in my mind.  But I began to research and think about how, why and what I wanted to teach my kids.  I realized that I do want to teach them from real life.  Charlotte Mason focuses on a living education. 

I decided to order a few things for my son for PreK last year: Language Lessons for Little Ones Volume 1 and Picture My Numbers.  I joined the Facebook group and loved all the great reviews people posted there. 

As I have been looking at several different curriculums that past year, I kept coming back to Queen Homeschool.  Why?  It's a family business.  The people are honest and trustworthy.  They seek to produce material that is user friendly, covers a variety of topics and is fun for learning.  There are several categories of subjects.  I particularly like the Language Series and the Math Series. 

Stay tuned for more reviews from what I am currently using.

Write Through the Bible Proverbs 3:1-26 from Intoxicated on Life

 
 
 
One of the things I'm looking forward to most is teaching my children from the Bible.  I am already doing that, but with writing and memorizing with the materials at Intoxicated on Life, I see a great method to make this a solid foundation of God's Word in their hearts.
 
The newest resource in Write Through the Bible is Proverbs 3:1-26.  It's a full year of writing practice focusing on God's Word.  This covers memory, handwriting, vocabulary and dictation.  There are a few days of copy work, then a day of looking up vocabulary and another day of dictation.  There are also review days to copy several verses at once.

What an amazing passage of Scripture to memorize and know that is so full of wisdom and guidance for young boys and girls!  I am so excited that I will be able to use this with my children.

I can see all kinds of great learning and review at work here.  Also, Intoxicated on Life has some excellent resources for memorizing that you will receive in a link from the ebook. 

I encourage you to check out this excellent resource as you teach your children the Word of God.
