This fun, hands-on activity pairs perfectly with any study of early American history. Enjoy living math and mapping with Lewis and Clark. This post contains affiliate links. Lewis and Clark: A Quick Bio In 1803, President Jefferson wanted to find out if the Missouri or Columbia Rivers made for easy traveling (and potential trading)…
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…
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…
Considering God’s Creation has been the spine curriculum for our 6th grade human body study. As always, I added a few things here and there to amp things up a notch. So, besides the {wonderful} notebooking pages that come with Considering God’s Creation, we did the activities and worksheets below, too. Sadly, I don’t have…
Welcome to the Charlotte Mason Carnival! An Atmosphere of Learning is our theme – and don’t you just LOVE the atmosphere a Charlotte Mason education provides?? Me, too! I wouldn’t trade for the world our times of snuggling up with living books, basking in the sunshine of nature study, or enjoyment of handicrafts and artist…
Welcome to day seven of my 10 Days of Teaching Values series. Let’s get down and dirty today with some homeschooling character building lessons today! I’m a very practical gal. And, since this is a homeschooling blog, I thought I’d share some super-practical character building lessons that you can easily incorporate into the academic side of your…
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…
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…
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…
Some of the NaturExplorers guides suggest the completion of a diorama to go along with a research project. Dioramas are such a fun and creative way to model entire habitats or ecosystems. Even better, they can prove to be an informal assessment of your child’s understanding when you ask him or her to create a diorama…
We were blessed beyond words when Jessica from Powers Taiwan Chatter left us a wonderfully sweet comment about her family’s experience with our newest unit, Remarkable Rain. She has graciously allowed us to share some of a post from her blog where she wrote about the fun they had studying and playing in the rain…
I’m in love! I’m in love! After reading LOTS (and I mean lots) of books to weed out the best of the best to include in our NaturExplorers units, I have to tell you that it’s very hard to find books that meet all my criteria: Living, interesting, inspirational Factual without being dry Don’t address…
