But formally, we are taking a step of faith and enrolling our kids in a local private school.<\/p>\n<p>This was a tough, tough decision, and most of my closer friends and family know that we wrestled with this decision most of the spring semester. But in the end, we feel a strong peace that this is our learning path next year, and we&#8217;re excited.<\/p>\n<p>So why am I participating in the curriculum fair here, you might be asking? Well, because we&#8217;re going to try out something that I learned about this past spring, and it&#8217;s one of the things that released me from the disappointment in not homeschooling next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s called afterschooling.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Afterschooling: What is it?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost silly that this even needs a name, in many ways, but <strong>afterschooling is simply homeschool, after school<\/strong>. It can look a lot of ways, just like homeschooling. I&#8217;ve jokingly come to call it Homeschool Lite.<\/p>\n<p>Increasing in popularity, many families choose to do afterschooling in order to go deeper in an area a student&#8217;s school isn&#8217;t able, to cover a topic that&#8217;s completely ignored at school, or to foster more interest-led learning. I learned a great deal about afterschooling at <a href=\"http:\/\/teachingmybabytoread.blog.com\/afterschooling\/\" target=\"_blank\">Teaching My Baby to Read<\/a>, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welltrainedmind.com\/forums\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Well Trained Mind forums<\/a> also has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welltrainedmind.com\/forums\/forumdisplay.php?f=13\" target=\"_blank\">a forum just for afterschooling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As we considered the possibility of afterschooling, <strong>one of our highest criteria was finding a school with a low homework policy<\/strong>. After all, kids need tons of play (where some of the best learning happens!), and I have no intention of bogging down our kids with more than is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to try it out this next year, and if it ends up being too much, we&#8217;ll slow down. We might even shelve the idea for awhile and pick it back up later. Or we may stop doing the private school and return to only homeschooling.<\/p>\n<h3>Our afterschool plan<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to ease into it, and we may not even do afterschooling every week. But these will be our resources.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-16731\" title=\"first language lessons\" src=\"http:\/\/simplehomeschl.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/fll2-small_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" \/>1. First Language Lessons<\/h4>\n<p>I really do love everything from <a href=\"http:\/\/peacehillpress.com\" target=\"_blank\">Peace Hill Press<\/a>, and their grammar curriculum\u00a0is at the top of their game. We&#8217;ll continue doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welltrainedmind.com\/store\/language-arts\/grammar.html\" target=\"_blank\">First Language Lessons<\/a>, since it worked so well for us this past year. I&#8217;m guessing we&#8217;ll do one to two lessons a week, tops.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-16732\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"ordinary parent's guide to teaching reading\" src=\"http:\/\/simplehomeschl.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/opg-small.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" \/>2. The Ordinary Parent&#8217;s Guide to Teaching Reading<\/h4>\n<p>Our 7-year-old learned to read using this curriculum when she was four, and we didn&#8217;t even need to finish it\u2014it just clicked for her. I have a hunch it won&#8217;t be the same for her 4-year-old brother, but he&#8217;s showing eagerness to learn. We&#8217;ll pull out our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welltrainedmind.com\/store\/language-arts\/reading.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ordinary Parent&#8217;s Guide<\/a> this summer and ease into phonics, slowly.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-16733\" title=\"volume-2-the-middle-ages\" src=\"http:\/\/simplehomeschl.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/volume-2-the-middle-ages.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" \/>3. Story of the World<\/h4>\n<p>Of course, right? We love this history curriculum, especially the mp3 version. We just listen to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welltrainedmind.com\/store\/history-and-geography\/story-of-the-world.html\" target=\"_blank\">Story of the World<\/a> in the car, talk about it a lot, and pursue the activities and further research if the kids are interested.

Geography maps and memory work from Classical Conversations<\/h4>\n<p>My first-grader also learned an enormous amount of geography, and she loved it. We&#8217;ll keep on with the CC map tracing, memory work, and exploration of cultures and places as the interest arises.<\/p>\n<p>I also love <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welltrainedmind.com\/store\/language-arts\/writing\/writing-elementary.html\" target=\"_blank\">Writing With Ease<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welltrainedmind.com\/store\/religion-curriculum.html\" target=\"_blank\">Telling God&#8217;s Story<\/a> from PHP, and we&#8217;ll also incorporate these if it works out.<\/p>\n<p>I know I&#8217;ll miss the longer hours of homeschooling next year. <strong>But we&#8217;re very much a year-at-a-time, kid-at-a-time family<\/strong>\u2014I don&#8217;t for a second doubt that we&#8217;ll homeschool again.
