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 is such a delightful book and my almost 5-year-old and I have enjoyed …
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 …
One of the many joys of having multiple children is the opportunity to read books over and over. Wild About Books is one of those delightful reads that never grows old. My oldest boy – now 15 – received this book from my parents when he was 3 years old. If I had to estimate, …
I have another fascinating book to share with you today: Sea Clocks: The Story of Longitude. For many years, my children and I used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. While it can be a bit difficult to wrap your brain around, Tapestry offers a wide selection of books for grades K through 12th. Most of …
I’m so glad you’re here for Day 13 of 365 Days of Children’s Books! Several years ago, my children and I rowed through Warm as Wool during our Five in a Row days. I loved Five in a Row and its gentle way of learning, especially if you have mostly young children. While my children seem …
