It’s been a while since I’ve posted about some of Caleb’s shenanigans, but – believe me – he’s still up to them. This is the entrance to his room where he’s started a sign-making business. Each sign can be custom-made and charges depend on whether or not he has to include drawings and/or needs to…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter M (This post contains affiliate links.) I love preschool! The pictures tell the rest of the story… M&M’s started off the week with a bang! We sorted, made concrete graphs and even tried a few concrete addition problems. The worksheets came from Learn NC. More fun M&M activity sheets came…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter L (This post contains affiliate links.) Ooh, the letter L was so much fun!! It’s been so exciting to watch Eli’s little mind grow along with his body. Almost as soon as he turned four, he hit a milestone and can handle so much more. I have several life cycle…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter K (This post contains affiliate links.) K was a little more boring than some of the other letters so far. Most likely, it was my fault since we were just getting back into the swing of things after Christmas break. At any rate, here goes the fun… A king’s crown…
We’re more than half-way through our study of ancient history using Ancient Civilizations and the Bible by Diana Waring. As we’ve gotten to know the curriculum, I’ve found a few things to be extremely useful in helping my children “see” and understand the material. By no means are they necessary in order to complete the…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter J (This post contains affiliate links.) Since the letter J fell so close to Christmas, Jesus was our main topic! Of course, we couldn’t forget fun things like jelly beans and jam cookies, so there’s a hodgepodge of fun in here. We completed several fun printables from 1+1+1=1. Find her…
These playful preschool Christmas activities are perfect for creating a sense of wonder in children while also teaching fundamental skills. A Preschool Christmas There’s a delicate balance to be made between getting a preschooler geared up for Christmas and keeping him geared down at the same time! We chose to do a craft or activity…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter I (This post contains affiliate links.) The letter I was tons of fun – and my big kids even took part in putting together some of the activities. They make very good preschool teachers, too! An insect poster graces our alphabet wall. Icky experiment #1 – a miniature volcano The…
She might design a purse! Because of our Charlotte Mason style homeschool, I’ve encouraged handicrafts such as sewing, crocheting and knitting from the very beginning. I’ve enlisted the help of a 90+ year old neighbor, a grandmother and a 4-H sewing class – for, you see, I’m not good at any of these skills! Mahayla…
It’s hard to believe we just celebrated the 4th birthday of my littlest! I love this picture from the party of my three kiddos with their great grandparents. They are blessed to still have three great grandparents in their lives!
Preschool Lessons for the Letter H (This post contains affiliate links.) We painted hand after hand to make these colorful handprints. Cutting playdough shapes in half is an easy way to teach early fractions. We couldn’t pass up playing Hi Ho Cherry-O this week. A game called The wHole Picture teaches matching in a unique…
Preschool Lessons for the Letter G (This post contains affiliate links.) All of the printables in this post came from Confessions of a Homeschooler. She has a great resource of activity ideas and free pages for all the letters of the alphabet! This simple cutting activity turned construction paper into grass for our alphabet wall…
