  • Science Notebooking with Microscopes

    (This post contains affiliate links.) Notebooking with kindergarteners??  Isn’t that asking too much? No way…especially when it comes from authentic, meaningful experiences! We own a modest microscope and some simple prepared slides that made for a wonderful science notebooking lesson last week.  Just having these things sitting out was enough to spark an interest that…

  • Our Schoolroom 2012

    It’s just about time for our new school year to start.  I haven’t made many changes to our schoolroom since I last posted a couple years ago, but I am forever reorganizing and the room is just about ready to go! We are blessed to have a finished attic space that we use as a…

  • Summer 2012

    Where have I been this summer?  Golly, my head is spinning and I’m not sure at all where I’ve been or what I’ve been doing.  I do know that I haven’t had much time to sit down!  And the garden is just coming on, so sitting down doesn’t look to be in my future for…

  • Human Body Systems

Sadly, I don’t have…

  • Fungi Study

    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…

  • 2011-12 Curriculum and Schedule

    High School, Middle School and K4.  Wow.  This year will surely test my homeschooling grit!  (Like the others haven’t, right?)  I’ve finally pinned down curriculum for the year ahead.  We’re all really looking forward to diving into some new materials, as well as some of our comfortable oldies-but goodies. I’ll get right down to business…

  • Animal Signs Field Guide

    During the month of December,my family will be using the Animal Signs NaturExplorers unit. Finding signs of animals and tracks are rather easy this time of year with much of the land and trees “uncovered” by the Lord. The most difficult part of studying animal signs for me is recognizing animal tracks. So many look…
