Copywork:The Power of Learning Through Imitation
I've already mentioned that I don't require any creative writing at all from my young writers -- no stories, poetry, or even journal writing. Instead, I wait until my writers have developed mastery of the skills required to properly express themselves on paper:...
Building Strong Writers in the Early Years
We don't do a lot of the typical writing activities and assignments that are popular in public schools (and homeschools!). In case you are over your shock and horror over the fact that I don't have any assigned reading in my homeschool, I have also never assigned my...
Middlebury Interactive Languages – Elementary French {Review}
I'm so thankful that many years ago when my own parents were making education choices for their children, they decided to opt into the French immersion program of the public school system. We were fortunate to have begun our education in French, and I stayed in the...
Adding Cooking to the Curriculum
What subjects do you teach in your homeschool? I'm willing to bet that Math and Language Arts are on the list, and probably Science and History too. You might even have Art, Music, and Bible included in your plans. I don't know about you, but my list of "to-do's" each...
The Familyman’s Christmas Treasury {REVIEW}
We spend a lot of time in our minivan traveling to and from church, homeschool activities, library visits, and grocery trips. While I'm not necessarily a fan of being stuck in the van with the kids when we could be doing other things, I do like to think we redeem that...
Does Sharing a Bedroom Help Siblings Get Along?
Like every other parent, I want my kids to get along. I mean, who wants to listen to kids argue, tease, and fight all day? It's tiresome, annoying, and just plain unpleasant to listen to that! But I want my kids to get along with each other not just for my own peace...
Freezer Cooking For Busy Homeschoolers {MyFreezEasy Review}
You're on your way home from a busy day after running around taking your kids to music lessons, co-ops, athletics, or maybe a field trip. You haven't got a clue what to serve your crew for dinner. Do you swing by your favourite take out joint? Order a pizza? Make...
Step Into History with Carole P. Roman! {REVIEW}
Today I'm sharing with you about a fun book series that will help your children step right into history by imagining that they they are a part of it. This is by far my children's favourite way of relating to history -- they just love to use what they are learning and...
Every Day with God: 365 Daily Devos for Girls {Book Review and GIVEAWAY!}
Every Day with God: 365 Daily Devos for Girls is a short and sweet daily devotional for young girls. From the day we received it, my 5 year old has been carrying it around both in the house and away from home. She's tickled pink to have her own daily devotional just...
Why I’m Reading Juvenile Fiction
You know what's on my bedside table more often than not these days? Children's books. No, I don't mean picture books (which I'm already reading en mass to three little girls who beg me to from sun-up to sun-down), but what my children call "chapter books". Why would a...
