Johnny Appleseed – we study him every year during our annual Apple Unit Study! We love all things apples here at the Hill House, and studying them is so fun for my kiddos and me. We have such wonderful memories of apple tasting, apple cooking, apple chalk pastels, apple books, and any other apple idea …
It is apple picking season and we couldn’t be more excited! If you’re a long-time reader here at Mama’s Learning Corner, you know that there are several things we study and read about it each year when my children are in elementary school: bees, seasons, holidays, birds, and apples! If you are planning an apple …
While my children are in preschool and elementary school, we study apples each and every year. What is fall without eating fresh apples while reading apple books?! Some years we have worked on big unit studies (fun!), and other years we just read lots of apple books and do taste-testing. Last year, we went to …
My 5 year old is a very beginning reader. He’s still working on nailing down all of the letter sounds and I noticed that he also needs some work with rhyming. Two of my three girls were later readers and one glaring similarity with both of them was their inability to rhyme well (or at all). …
Thankfully, I discovered the joy of copywork early in our homeschool life. In addition to handwriting practice, copywork allows my children to remember and internalize information in yet another way. Repetition in the form of oral drill work, flash cards, and copywork make for a solid way to learn information. If you and your children …
Beginning readers need intense phonics practice in a variety of methods. In my experience, young readers cannot get too much phonics instruction, and I say that as a homeschool mom with a variety of types of learners. Phonics and Latin and math facts are all similar in that way. They cannot be overtaught or over practiced. …
Beginning and intermediate readers need a multitude of ways to practice phonics. Give your young ones a nice change of pace with this set of Short Vowel CVC Word Search worksheets! My oldest and youngest daughters loved word searches when they were early readers. Even though they both took a bit longer to read fluently, …
A frequent request here at Mama’s Learning Corner are more grammar worksheets. I published the Verb worksheets for 3rd and 4th Grades a couple of years ago, and there is a constant request for MORE! I finally have the noun set finished and ready to share with you! I will work on adjectives and adverbs …
My 5 year old boy is on the verge of reading – exciting!! This is always a fun time for me as a mama, and one of the many stages of learning that I enjoy. My hunch is that he will be reading CVC words by the time our homeschool starts back in early August. Because …
My almost 6-year-old and 2nd grader had a great time practicing their handwriting with the copywork color packet! It was a fun change of pace for them. Not only did they practice writing and recognizing color words, they were reminded about sentence structure, capitalization, and punctuation. Also, my second grader had some practice with nouns, …
My girls are so excited about these handwriting worksheets! They are the new favorites around the Hill House. While we use a formal handwriting curriculum (which we love!), I very often put aside the formalities for a change of pace. I find that if I change things up often, my kiddos seem more engaged and …
