Online Eclectic Homeschooling

We are eclectic homeschoolers. And while that means we pick and choose what works best for my daughter, we try very hard not to be scattered, or disorganized.
We do use a core curriculum, called Time4Learning, which is an online, interactive, student paced curriculum. It contains the core courses of Language Arts, Math, Science and social studies. There is an also an art appreciation course which can be included as part of the curriculum.
In addition to Time4Learning, we have several other subjects that we add to my daughter’s homeschool education. She is learning Spanish as her foreign language, she is taking piano lessons, and she is taking an additional art course, online.
We use Vocabulary and Spelling City when she needs more practice with spelling. We do actually use workbooks for word ladders, a spelling and vocabulary exercise, and logic, which we just started this year.
We also do something we call special studies. This is studies in things that interest my daughter, and I will mention how it works in our homeschool in a later post.
