Each year during the week before Thanksgiving, my children and I enjoy a unit study on the Pilgrims. It’s so interesting to study that first Thanksgiving and what life was like for those early settlers. While the unit study changes in a few ways as my children get older, we continue to read the same …
One of the many books my son and I enjoyed during his Kindergarten year included A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry. It was included in his Kindergarten curriculum last year, and we have read it many times since! I find the simplicity of this book to be its most charming feature. But do …
This post was originally published in 2014, updated in 2016, and is now back for its 3rd revision in 2023. Please re-download and use this packet again with your young ones! ❤ My girls were 7, 5, and 3 1/2 when we completed this many years ago. I updated the pictures to the current packet, …
As a homeschooling mama, I have the privilege of creating a special type of December for my children. We aren’t forced to be 5 million places, if we don’t want to be. We can take it slow and have what I call “Christmas School.” The backbone of our Christmas School is living books. These are …
I have read hundreds and hundreds (no exaggeration) of books with my children over the past 16+ years of mothering. With all of that reading, I simply cannot understand how The Mitten never made its way to our book stack! The Mitten by Jan Brett is such a delightful book and my almost 5-year-old and …
Even though none of my children have a beloved teddy bear, I have always enjoyed reading teddy bear books with them. Right now, my youngest boy (4 1/2) and I are enjoying The Teddy Bears’ Picnic. This particular book has very interesting illustrations! We usually spend more time talking about the pictures than we do …
My children have always loved A to Z books – the ones that list a different word or concept for each letter of the alphabet. So I thought it would be neat to have one resource for all of the A to Z book I could find! With my other book lists, I make sure …
I’m excited to share this little pink book with you today, as it is one that we have used on and off for years! My children and I always start our day by studying the Bible, and then we do just one more thing. We don’t have huge elaborate Morning Time or Circle Time or …
My children and I study various aspect of Western Civilization each year. As a result, we have many books about the early Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans. This neat look at the Roman Colosseum is an informative non-fiction book that is often pulled off of the shelf! If you’d like to see more of how I …
For many years, I loved and used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. We created so many dear-to-my-heart memories around those books, including this inspiring story about Roger Williams. Finding Providence is a story of faith and freedom! This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more details. ➡ Looking for more children’s books with …
When I share children’s books with learning ideas, they are often of the fiction or non-fiction variety. However today, I have a wonderful reference or resource-type book to share with you. Non-fiction, fiction, short stories, chapter books, poetry…they all are important to read! Today’s book, Daily Life at the Time of Jesus, is a non-fiction …
