Each school year, we love to add exciting lessons that encourage a love for special days and seasons. Over the years, I’ve posted about bunches of holiday and seasonal lessons and gathered them all together here for a quick reference. If these ideas aren’t enough, be sure to check out my Pinterest page that overflows…
I told you I’ve been slacking on my posts! Four botany study posts in four days doesn’t mean we’ve been studying botany in such depth every day. In fact, each topic took us at least a week to cover. Today’s post is about one of the lessons spent learning about fungi. After some activities from…
I promised a Q&A follow-up from the CM Series and here it is. I hope I found all the questions! If not, or if you think of additional questions, please let me know! The Q&A is in no particular order, so I hope you can muddle through it without too much frustration. Corrie – I’ve…
We’ve had a wonderful month of nature study! I don’t know whether the fruits and nuts were abundant enough to make our nature studies such a success or the weather was so picture perfect that anything would’ve been a success. Either way, we had fun! We’re off to study ponds in October! Here are the…
I admit that wildflowers are quite possibly my favorite of all nature studies. I’m always in awe of God’s creativeness, beauty and majesty through such delicate little things like wildflowers. I’m also amazed at how each season presents me with new flowers that I’ve never noticed before – each with awesome characteristics that are different…
The middle school homeschool curriculum options are some of my favorite things!

Let me tell you…after about two months, I informed the central office that I was available for anything except middle school. I loathed middle…
You will love these top picks for upper elementary homeschool curriculum! Third through fifth grades are some of my favorite years to teach. During this period, children are usually pretty good readers, making it more enjoyable to delve deeper into other subjects. And, they still have a zestful spirit about learning, which means we get to have…
Eli and I have just begun our history studies for the year, and I’m very glad to report that I might have another history lover on my hands! This ancient history art project is definitely motivating. This post contains affiliate links. Oh, how I have missed Story of the World. It’s just such a well-rounded program. The…
Tackling a Civil War unit study with kids can feel overwhelming, but it’s also an incredible opportunity to discover one of the most pivotal times in American history. When my children and I explored the Civil War and the complex topic of slavery, I wanted more than just dates and battles. I wanted them to…
I have always loved teaching a Leonardo da Vinci unit study. It quickly covers almost every academic subject, from the Renaissance to various science topics like inventions, simple machines, and the human body. History, science, and art combine with research-based learning and good books for a fabulous learning adventure! Leonardo da Vinci Unit Study Taking…
The study of astronomy with my seven and 10-year-old children was surprisingly fascinating! As usual, we used bits and pieces of this and that, with lots of living literature, a field trip, and projects, to learn about our solar system. I hope you find something helpful to add to your astronomy unit study! This post…
