Decisions!

It’s that time of year …

Home school conventions are around the corner, and curriculum sales abound!  With so many homeschool products available, it is hard to decide what is the best curriculum.   Believe me … I know!  With over 25 years of homeschooling under my belt, I can honestly state that I have jumped on many bandwagons as new products evolved over time.

Some worked well for one child but not another.

Others worked well for ALL four of my children, such as IEW!  🙂

 

When we find something that works, we stick to it!   IEW is truly an effective program.  I am honored to be able to teach this curriculum to many students every year and witness outstanding results!   If you want to hear other testimonies about IEW and my classes, please read what parents have shared under the “Testimonials” link on the right side of this page.

 

Together we can create excellent writers!

WORDS ARE FUN!

That’s what I tell my students regularly!    

WordWhiz

Vocabulary is a major component of the IEW curriculum.  In my classes, your students will learn over 40 new words each school year!    Most importantly, it’s done along with grammar in the context of writing.

 

I hope to see your student in the classroom where he/she will NOT meet an eccedentesiast!  😉

Something New in Fall 2018

students writing 1

One of the exciting features of the upcoming fall classes that I will be offering is an opportunity for students to share their work with each other online in a safe, secure environment.  While there is usually time in some of the classes for students to read their assignments to the class personally, that is not always the case.  I know that they would enjoy reading each other’s work.   It is a learning opportunity to share among peers in this way.   This is just another feature of what you will receive in one of my online writing classes!  😊   

Please be sure to “follow me” to stay informed, and please share with your homeschooling connections!  Thank you!
