I am so excited about today’s post. CurrClick.com is offering FREE downloads and printables! I’ll be the first to admit that most of the time, “freebies” are a huge disappointment because they are one-page things that you can get from the local dollar store workbooks. Not CurrClick. They know how to do this right. Here’s just … Continue reading
In my post from Tuesday, I talked about how structured J’s last school year was. I was new, and let’s face it, I like to organize, over plan and file things away. Overall, it actually worked pretty well for us. I was grateful to not have to think too hard about the school plan. Between … Continue reading
I love C.S. Lewis. I don’t think anything ever needs to be added to make his work more impactful. However, I know that J needs something to show for all of this studying we’re doing, so we’re putting together a few projects to go along with reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (LWW). The … Continue reading
Today has been great! First of all, we finally got the tree out of the house! I was able to put our little couch back and vacuum like a madwoman. School was long but good. This semester, I’m starting to let J use the computer. I found a search engine that gives only kid-friendly results (Supposedly, we’re … Continue reading
After a few really rough days, I am thrilled to report that today has been awesome. I managed to get up and around right around 11 a.m. (a small miracle). My husband is home today, and I’m super excited about that even though he’s spending most of the day playing Halo 4, which came out … Continue reading
After a week or two of learning all about CSI basics: fingerprinting, DNA, blood types, shoe prints and more, I stumbled upon the perfect, age-appropriate book to put J’s new knowledge into practice. This book is 5 chapters (perfect for a week unit study) of a cute and quirky story following the rag-tag detective team … Continue reading
One of the coolest homeschooling phenomenons is spontaneous learning. Some people go so far as to “unschool” or leave learning entirely up to the child. That doesn’t suit my son or my nerves very well, but I’m still enjoying the fruits of this nuance. Here are a few things I’ve “caught” Tyke 1 doing on … Continue reading
I hate sea creatures. All of them. Don’t try to tell me they are majestic or colorful or intriguing. I simply do not care. They freak me out. Plus, in the water they have 2 advantages: silence and speed. Hate it. So, my lovely son, knowing full-well my aversion to all things aquatic has chosen … Continue reading
Our first day went so well that I took 28 pictures! (I will only share a few here). Things were great today. These are just the highlights. We did some math, spelling and grammar, but that was all workbook stuff. I was able to keep Cub from being too much of a distraction by getting … Continue reading
When scouring the internet and local teacher stores, something became abundantly clear. There is no such thing as a lesson plan book for homeschoolers. At first, I thought this was because homeschooling is still done by the minority of families, but now I really think it has more to do with how homeschooling families work. … Continue reading
