Hello All! My name is Dave McClintock and I feel like that guy in the TV commercial when his computer flashes "You have reached the end of the internet!" I...
Welcome, Dave! Compulsive obsessive behavior is an OUTSTANDING characteristic of a boat owner. Do not apologize. We should all be so lucky as to marry spouses...
Dave, we live in Vero Beach, Florida, which is one of most beautiful and well-protected mooring fields on the east coast of Florida. Look for our St. Francis...
To the crew of Toast, the Lagoon catamaran: If you ever get over to the Abaco Bahamas or Vero Beach, Florida, look us up on Sand Dollar, a St. Francis 44...
Hi Dave, Welcome and glad to see another cat family too. We live aboard our St. Francis 44 with our 2 year old son Zach. Not cruising right now, but plan to...
Toast, Diane, and Cindy: Thanks for the welcome! Toast, I did check out your blog and had to chuckle, I still find things in some storage space on boat that I...
... Hah! That would be http://toastfloats.blogspot.com Repeat http://toastfloats.blogspot.com. Watch Toast start pimping her own blog. I've made a whopping...
Hi all, I joined this group in December but I don't think I've ever posted. We are a family of 2 adults, 3 boys (9, 7, and 2) currently living on land in...
Welcome Dana, With three years of home schooling under your belt I bet you will have a lot to teach the group! Get ready for questions! We also have a 2 year...
Thought I'd say hello. Just joined the group - looking forward to reading more of the posts. I see there are some folks in Maryland. We are in Oxford at the...
Hello, My wife and I live just outside Annapolis (on land for now) and are in the planning phase of our home school and cruising. Our school age children are...
Dave, My family and I recently completed a five-year circumnavigation. Our daughter was five when we left. I have posted some notes on home schooling aboard on...
You are a brave family to cross the Atlantic Ocean with two small children! We were worried enough crossing the 21 hours to get to the Abacos from Florida...
I have a 1st grader and 3rd grader that we've homeschooled now for a year now. We live on Sand Dollar in Florida and the Bahamas (1/2 and 1/2 a year). I too...
Amen on basically ignoring the rules for "grade level appropriate" curriculum. Seattle calls my 6 year old a Kindergartner but she just finished the Calvert...
Just thought I'd put some of my resources out here for you. We actually paid a chunk to get this info from an online school. Education should be free though...
I also like "Story of the World" by Susan Wise Bauer for history lessons. It is written for elementary school years starting with first grade. It begins with...
Oh, forgot completely about history! Thanks for your recommendations. Currently we use the Calvert, a child's History of the World book. Ordered it by itself....

We used "The Story of the World" during our circumnavigation and found that it integrated well with our travels. I sometimes jumped ahead to the chapters on...
STOW volume IV covers modern history. The activity book teaches outlining, inlcudes timelines, and the geography activities were more advanced. I thought there...
I homeschool my two boys ages 7 and almost 9. When I started a friend (who'd been doing this quite a while) handed me a copy of the well trained mind, and I...
Mixing up the ages works very well with science experiments as well. Again, the one thing that tempts me (though not too greatly) in another purchase of...
No, It is not a Sonlight publication. but they just started including some volumes it in their curriculum. By the way, I found that Sonlight offered the best...
... just ... secular ... Well, aside from our Schrodinger's catbox of unschooling <grin>, we did send Chloe go to boarding school. (Her interest; her choice.)...
A quick self-followup on this subject: Have you read "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by Loewen? I loved it and my girls enjoyed it, even though they hadn't been...
We did the same thing last year with Story of the World. The compact little book travels well (you can't always get to a library to find materials). I bought...
