    Hello, Wanted to  introduce myself. My name is Pamela, I am a military wife of 20years and mum to 8 children. My eldest Hannah is graduating from HS and joining the Navy  as a NROTC cadet to attend college as a pre-med student. Our youngest Gracey is 3yo. We have 6 daughters ( 18,15,13,11,8,3) and 2 boys( 16,9). This was my first year homeschooling due to medical issues with some of our children. I homeschooled Jacob(16) and Ella (8) while still having Gracey(3) at home,we used the K12 cirriculum,since it was free and have found that it does not work for our children. I have been researching cirriculums over the past several monthes and came across CM, talked with a vetern homeschooling mom who has been homeschooling for almost 20years and I really am set to CM this coming school year and I will have Abbey(11) at home  also,her choice. I am excited as our 2nd year of homeschooling is coming up- all the adventures to come. I am blessed that this year we have started a Military Homeschoolers group on the Air Force base here in Wyoming. So, I have some questions? Do you only use CM cirriculum or do you mix CM with other cirriculum? I have chosen a different Math cirriculum for Ella and Abbey wants to CM as a supplement,she really wants to use an online academy like Abeka in order to recieve her HS diploma. How many other military CM families are here and how has your CM journey progressed while being military? also is the CM organizer only available online or is there a printed organizer? Sorry for all the questions. I look forward to getting to know everyone.

    Welcome!  The Organizer is only available online, and I think that you will have fun with CM in anyway you choose to add it.  There are several families here who are military, lots of people who mix and match curriculums to fit their children and we’re excited that you are here. =)

    Welcome!  I am fairly new to this forum too but not to Charlotte Mason methods.

    We follow Charlotte’s methods but use Sonlight Cores for our history, geography and literature.  I am fitting that into our Charlotte Mason day.  So we do use various curriculums following her methods.  I am on my trial with the online organizer and so far, I am loving it.

    Your military homeschool group sounds wonderful!  That will be fun!

    Anyway, welcome!  🙂

    Welcome!   What a wide arrange of children.  That is great. You are lucky to have a homeschool group. That can be helpful. I have 2 boys 10 and 8 and dd 5. We do a mix in curriculm. Math-u-see for Math. History, science Art, Nature Study, mostly all  SCM. Well, History is SCM with The Story of the World and a few extras. We are big on the variety of History and books.  Hope this helps. Blessings!
