Welcoming April 2022 at Magniflorious Private Homeschool Academy

 Welcome back! I'm so happy to be able to report our little seedlings, well some of them, have survived and are now planted in a small garden patch outside. Turks Turban Squash looks like it might survive and thrive, but we may have to replant cucumbers, nasturtium flowers, and sunflowers. Hopefully, today's predicted rain will encourage them to perk up. And we also hope to deter whatever animal tried to dig up my hard work yesterday. Y'all! I should've stretched before trying to work in the garden. XD


More Curriculum Changes

We started the year working on Chemistry with PACE workbooks. Those didn't work so well for Ro's learning perception. So we switched her to a workbook (The World of Chemistry) which allowed her to read sections and answer questions pertaining to shorter sections. There were fewer problems per lesson for her to solve. This made it less overwhelming for her. 

To sum up: If the curriculum you chose for your student isn't working, don't be afraid to change to something else. You and your child can work together to ensure your child's ultimate success. I believe the experience of changing things up now and again also helps a child to learn how to adapt to new situations and circumstances, even when changes are sudden. 

A Change of Venue


For a change, we decided to take a trip to our local coffeehouse to do a little work on our computers. Ro chose to do a bit of Bible study instead. I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see her choosing to study God's gift to humans. My kids are, I think, farther ahead on the study of God's Word than I was at their age. And they didn't/aren't reading just to look good in our eyes. I know this because they talk to us and ask questions. They're seeking. And I know that since God never changes, He will keep his promises. He says if we seek, we will find. 

A Breath of Hope

And now for a breath of hope from the Bible...


Thank you so much for taking time out to read our short monthly update. I hope your spring classroom is filled with hope, joy, and laughter.

It's Been a While, But Transcripts Are Still Important

 Welcome to our blog! I thought for sure I'd be done blogging about homeschool when our youngest finished her senior year. I might've been wrong!  Note: Before we go any further, you need to know I was asked to write up a review (for pay) of my experience with the website/company I'm sharing with you today. But my comments reflect my actual experience. This is the first time I'm doing this. I make no guarantees. Let's Talk About Transcripts What it is:  a record of your student's courses over the course of their high school career. What it should include: the courses final grades for those courses (either letter or percent) credits earned for the courses GPA each quarter, as well as overall major test scores (if applicable), like ACT, SAT, etc. a grading scale Why your student needs one: Every institution for further education that I know of requires this record before they'll consider your student for enrollment. You Want Me to Send What From Where? Our you...

Welcoming the New Year - 2022

 Welcome back to the blog! I've been contemplating how useful (or rather how not-so-useful) my latest posts have been. Since it seems I've been running out of things to share and no one else in our family is really on board with this, I am either going to drop my posts back to once a month and have this go out more like a newsletter, or just drop it entirely. More on that... New Year, New Challenges Everyone, or most people, make resolutions they seek to carry out over the course of the coming year. I don't usually do that because my goals are always the same: feed my relationship with my Lord, glorify Him with my life in all ways, help those around me who have a need.  This year, our family is starting out with a challenge. John is part of a group study called Soul-con which encourages men to be who they were created to be in the Lord, mind-body-soul. There is a program for women that purports itself as the same sort of thing. However, the study the men participate in goes...
