In my 12+ years of homeschooling, I have found that you can’t practice phonics, grammar, Latin, or math facts too often. Add some extra phonics practice to your child’s lessons this week with the phonics sorting activity! ETA April 2022: Note that this post was originally published in May 2013. I have updated it with …
This Fall Word Wall post was originally published in September 2014. I’ve updated it in a major way! Here’s the original post: I’ve always loved the idea of a word wall, but we just don’t have space for it in our small school room. Word Walls can increase vocabulary, be a fun way to reinforce …
This Spring Word Wall post was originally published in March 2017. I’ve updated it in a major way! Here’s the original post: Before I had the baby, I gathered a few ready-made worksheets and printables for my little girls to work on during our (very sporadic) school days. As I was putting together the resources …
I’m in my 9th year of homeschooling, and it is shocking to me how much homeschool curriculum has changed throughout the years. The variety and types of curriculum offered have exploded. In my earlier homeschool days, I used and loved All About Spelling. It was a perfect fit for my oldest child. In recent years, …
When we first started homeschooling, there were a few subjects that I knew I would have to read and research to successfully teach my children. Math and writing come immediately to mind. But spelling? Surely not. How hard could it be to teach spelling? I mean, really. I am a natural speller, and I could tell …
As promised, I am back with a set of Nativity Label the Picture Worksheets! Labeling pictures is a great skill for the younger set. Each picture in this packet relates to the Birth of Jesus in some way. Nativity worksheets are such an easy way to encourage literacy, handwriting, and fine motor skills, as well …
My children are having such a good time with our fruits and vegetables unit study this week! I hope you’re enjoying these posts and I especially hope they help you with some ideas for your own fruits and vegetables unit study. This weekend, I’ll publish a post listing all of the resources we used and …
Since we’re studying fruits and vegetables this week in our science unit study, I wanted to include a set of 3-part cards for my younger girls (ages 5 and almost 7). I’ve only made a few sets of 3-part cards, but I must remember to add these to my printable queue since my girls always …
My just-turned-5-year-old adores any type of cut and paste activity! She loves cutting practice pages, scissor skills practice, and any other activity that requires the use of scissors and a glue stick. I think it’s because she’s a crafty soul at heart! My 5 year old is taking a bit longer to learn her letters …
This post contains affiliate links. I am a long-time fan of All About Spelling, as we have used it in our homeschool for over 6 years now. I loved the concept of All About Spelling for my children that are natural spellers, but I love it even more for my child that finds spelling to …
Despite changing curriculum in a few subjects over our past 6 years of homeschooling, there are certain subjects where we found the perfect curriculum fit the first time. Don’t you love it when that happens?! All About Spelling (affiliate link) was one of those staple curricula that we fell in perfect alignment with from the get …
