homeschooling in our new home

This isn’t the post where I show you our new homeschooling room.  I wanted to share here because I have been absent for so long (so sorry).  I have a fun “this is our homeschooling place” post coming up because I’m so excited to share it with you!  But here is some of what I…

homeschooling through this winter

We took things very slow.  Living was more like homeschooling this past winter.  As I shared in my last post, we moved homes.  We are now in our new home and it is truly a dream come true, a blessing from God.  But it was not without sacrifices.  I’m thankful my littles are young and…

First Phonics Reader {Book 5}

I am happy to bring you our First Phonics Reader: Book 5 today. These small, developmental readers are perfect for developing early reading skills.  They will not overwhelm your child, as there is little text and a sweet picture on each page.  My hope is that these first phonics readers will give your child the confidence to begin…

creating a simple unit study

Children are interested in learning about exciting and engaging topics.  They simply need the resources to further investigate their interests.  Unit studies will help a child grasp seemingly mature topics — even at a very young age.  My son is soaking up stories from Greek Myths right now through using the books and hands-on learning ideas that…

Easy Preschool Curriculum

I’m taking a simpler approach to my daughter’s preschool curriculum.  We have combining a lot of resources.  Here are the ones we have been using from Usborne Books & More.  We love the diverse collection of books from Usborne, the high quality paper and content, as well as the fun and vibrant, non-commercial illustrations. Math…

Beautiful poetry books for children

Every afternoon, we set a blanket out on the floor (or in the summer, outside) and we read.  The children ask for the poetry first.  Then we will often move into our Language Lesson, Bible reading, or read-aloud novel.  This time is the most joyful in my days.  I am so thankful to read beautiful…

On defending why I homeschool

Lately my son has been asked the question, almost everywhere we go whether at Target or a restaurant or the doctor’s office, “oh are you in school now?” For some reason I cringe. I don’t know why I cringe. I very proudly homeschool my children. I believe this is what is best for them. I…

our homeschooling days

More homeschool days. Chalk and water. Handwriting practice (affiliate link).  We focus on this first thing every morning.  John can get through 1-2 pages and we’ve seen some nice improvements. We are still slooowly moving through the My Father’s World Kindergarten — here are our full kindergarten plans — I love the freedom this gives…

our homeschooling days

We are taking these days very simply and easy.  Sometimes I (still) feel guilty about that.  Letting them take the lead in their play and their days.  I wish I did “more.” But. Time right now doesn’t allow for that. AND, as I write, my two are playing together in their house made of leaves,…

read aloud book collection giveaway!

Reading is the most important thing you can do with your children.  You build vocabulary, open doors, create imaginations, enter into new worlds, learn valuable narration and memorization skills — there are so many incredible skills that children learn just from reading.  Reading is life. The single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational…

a week with my father’s world

We are using the wonderful My Father’s World as a base for our learning at home.  I wanted to share just a glimpse of what we do in a typical week with this curriculum.  I don’t always do what is instructed in the manual — I maneuver around as my children have an interest or…

I have been wanting to share our kindergarten workbox system for a while now.  As a homeschooling mom, I want to have everything easily accessible and available.  Interests and ideas will come and go and I want to be ready to grab a teachable moment when I can, so having everything organized is a huge blessings….
