♥Thanks for stopping by. You may want to subscribe via RSS or email before you leave so you don’t miss out. Hope to see you again! I’ve wanted to be a vet since I was in Kindergarten. I got the chance to do a project/interview with our vet, Dr.Sheridan. Q: [...] I read the Magic Tree House books to Hanna when she was in kindergarten and we loved them. They are so imaginative and I think they are perfect for kids this age for so many different reasons. Hanna went on to read all of them at least a couple more times on her own as [...] I’ve found several useful sites as I’ve been planning Joe’s next quarter of school with free printables. I thought I would share a few that I like best. The Teachers Corner is full of info. You could spend hours scouring this site. What I’ve been using is their money worksheet generator to print out sheets like [...] I have been asked through email lots over the last year about how a typical homeschool day of mine goes, how do I school and still fit in cleaning, exercising, blogging, crafting, cooking and so forth. I have always answered this through email, but since these are topics I get asked about regularly, I’ve finally [...] Even though we began our 2010-2011 school year back in May, I want to share our curriculum one more time because I know many of you are just about to start your school year up.

Would you believe that what gave me the final push to have the confidence to homeschool my children was stumbling upon Homeschool Creations via google search for Chore Packs?! I had been reading the Duggars’ book and discovered their ingenious chore system and decided [...] The last two weeks we’ve wrapped up our insect studies with more on mosquitoes and a little about crickets. Joe completed his lapbook, read some new and old books, made some cool crafts and pretended to be a mosquito. He made a mosquito mask from a paper plate. I attached a straw to it and [...] The last two weeks we’ve continued to study insects. We were going to move on to crickets, but I wanted to have some live ones for part of our study. I haven’t made it to the bait store yet—hopefully this weekend I’ll get there so we can end our insect unit with crickets. We’ve been reading [...] This past week we continued to study insects. I had planned to start an experiment on crickets, but we wrapped up our fly experiment instead and will begin the one on crickets now. We have been observing the life cycle of a fly for the last three weeks. This was super simple. All we did [...] I have definitely taken a more laid back approach in our homeschool this year vs. last year and I am loving it–so are the kids. It is making our school time so much more enjoyable. There is no stress, no pressure, no overcrafting, overscheduling of work or activities. We are truly going at our own [...] |
