Homemade Snow is a fun activity for kids, that uses only 2 ingredients! We love the summer, but the kids have been really missing doing crafts and science experiments like we do during the winter. We spend so much time outside, going places, and enjoying the sunshine, that we don’t spend too much time doing …
How to make a bug board to turn your kids into backyard scientists. My kids are big fans of bugs. They definitely got that trait from me. I remember as a small child when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and then they would be confused when I …
If you’ve been here before, you may remember that we started homeschooling preschool the year before last. And then at the beginning of this last school year, I told you about how we were planning goals for our homeschooling year. So why didn’t I blog about homeschooling? The truth may shock you. Because the truth …
You may remember from my post on Homeschooling Goals that one of our goals this year for Miss Magoo is to learn to tell time. We have flashcards and workbooks that help her learn about telling time, but one thing I really wanted to make was a Time Telling Clock. I remember as a kid, …
My sister and I have been doing a homeschooling co-op together. Our kids are the same ages, so it seems ideal to partner up twice a month to do some fun crafts and activities. We decided that to help us plan what to do, we will work through the letters of the alphabet. So for …
I learned last year when I homeschooled preschool for the first time, that I’m not very good at following a curriculum or specific method. So when it came to planning for Kindergarten for Miss Magoo and preschool for Little Man this year, I was stumped on how to plan for the year. As I thought …
I know I’ve been awful about writing posts updating on our homeschooling preschool experience! Honestly, I haven’t been really sure what to write about. I jumped into our first year of homeschooling with high expectations and plenty of preparation. You can read about it in these posts where I made a plan, organized our space, …
School is almost over!! Maybe your lucky and yours is already over but we have today and tomorrow and then we are done. School was a little different for my kids this year as we moved in the middle of the year and instead of putting them into another school with so little of the …
One of the reasons we decided to homeschool is because we love that we can do school differently. Learning doesn’t have to consist simply of desk work, like in a traditional education. Since we started homeschooling, we’ve done our fair share of desk work, but also done some fun “field trips.” For one of our …
Before Starting: I’m a planner. Sometimes that’s a good thing, but sometimes I need to learn to not get so caught up in the planning. I’ve spent the summer trying to plan for homeschooling preschool this fall. And while planning is a good thing, I think I was trying to over-analyze it. So here’s what …
I keep seeing a bunch of back to school stuff. Am I the only one who wants to live in denial for a little bit longer? We still have more than a week before school starts and most of our school supplies already bought, so it’s fine to still live in the glory of summer, …
This post is part of our June Top 5. Check out the rest of the best here. Miss Magoo and I recently made a bean jar. Not everything in the jar is beans, but that’s what we’re calling it. I used an old pickle jar and we filled it with black beans, black-eyed peas, lentils, great …
