Calvert Homeschooling...is it worth taking a look?

I just came across Calvert. I have to say that it looks like a rounded curriculum for homeschoolers.

It has lessons already planned out. What could be better than that?
I have also heard that students using the curriculum test very well on standardized testing.

I am going to be using it with one of my kids and will let you know how I like it.

Have a GREAT day!

Writing Ideas for Homeschoolers

Need a writing idea? Have the kids pretend they are a reporter and go get the latest scoop from family members. Help them write down 5 questions they can ask each person in the family. When you are done, go and put it together in some newsletter form. There are great programs for this right on your home computer. Print it out and have them mail it to Grandma and Grandpa and other family members. You can even start doing it quarterly and it can count towards a lot of their subjects. Writing, Grammer, and Spelling. There can even be more subjects woven into it depending what the contents are about. Eventually, who knows they could even start selling them online and offline and make some money.
