Revisiting First Form Latin from Memoria Press {Crew Review}

Image
Way back on my 2nd year on the crew I reviewed First Form Latin from Memoria Press .  I was so impressed that I purchased two additional student work books so my three "big" girls could study Latin together. Boobear wanted to revisit Latin.  She asked me if we could get a new student workbook so she could go through the program again.  Her timing was perfect. Memoria Press generously included a new student workbook in my Crew Leader package.   We already had the rest of the set and only needed the Student Book. Memoria Press recommends First Form Latin for grades 4-9.  I think this age range works well if the younger students have completed Prima Latina or Latina Christiana.  I believe this to be an excellent introduction to Latin for students in 6th grade and older including adults. The Complete Set of materials includes: Student Text -- 9 x 7.5 inches.  Each of the 34 lessons are are concisely presented on a two page spread.  120 pages.  Includes 7 Appendic

Planning a Different Kind of Graduation Ceremony {Homeschool Diploma Review}

Image
If you are a regular reader of my blog then you know that I have four daughters. Three of my beautiful girls have graduated from our home school.  The oldest has even graduated from a local university with her Bachelor's Degree.  My fourth daughter, who is actually my 2nd oldest is on her own path.  Medically fragile and developmentally delayed she's on the "we'll keep homeschooling as long as she keeps making progress plan" which means that she may never actually have a high school graduation.

When she finished Level C of her reading program or reaches the equivalent reading level she can have a graduation. When I found out that the Homeschool Review Crew would have the option of reviewing the  Cap, Gown, Tassel and Diploma  package for kindergarten from Homschool Diploma I started thinking this could be the motivation we need to make this happen.

Diplomas for your Homeschool Graduate! {Review}

Image
Yes, my three big girls have all graduated from our home school.  In 2013 when BooBear graduated, we didn't have a beautiful professional diploma to give her.  We did a small ceremony and printed out a nice piece of paper to give her.  Her dad gave a really touching speech. In 2016, the Homeschool Review Crew had the opportunity to review a high school  diploma from  Homeschool Diploma . I received a Personalized Diploma for Turtlegirl and I purchased a  Standard Diploma  for Boo Bear. In 2017 Tailorbear graduated and  I had every intention of purchasing a diploma for her. My husband and I had talked about it.  We were so impressed with the quality of the diplomas and the service provided by Homeschool Diploma but I procrastinated. I kept putting it off and putting it off.  I am pretty sure I win the loser mom of the year award for not having it for her at graduation. We then found out that the Homeschool Review Crew would have the opportunity to review Homeschool Diplom
