Hello, I’m Micah

We began at the kitchen table in 2021, when Naomi was six and Isaac was three. Now Naomi is eleven, Isaac is eight and Ruth is five, and they still sit at the same long table. I could not run three separate lessons, so I learned to run one topic that all three can join, each at their own level.

That is a unit study. We pick one subject for a few weeks, ancient Egypt or a creek or a bowl of fizzing lemon, and read about it, make something and write something. I lay the whole school year out in coloured strips before it starts, so I can see where the long units, the daily maths and the rest weeks fall.

What I sell are the packs and planners we use ourselves, and two video courses on teaching mixed ages. I am not a teacher by training and I do not tell you what your children must learn. I show what works at our table, and you change it to fit yours.
