If you’ve been a reader at Mama’s Learning Corner for awhile, you know that my children love mini-books. I’m not sure what it is about the smaller format that makes writing so appealing, but it certainly works! And if I’m being honest, I enjoy the smaller format, too, when practicing writing with my younger ones! …
Plants and flowers are a favorite topic that we study year after year in our homeschool. There are some themes that just never grow old! I have found that studying bees, the water cycle, pond life, the human body, and other nature topics multiple times during the elementary years provides for a lovely and gentle …
This Life Cycle of a Snowflake Booklet packet was originally published back in 2016. It was in dire need of an update, so I have freshened the fonts and layout a bit. Please re-download this newest version if you haven’t already. Except for the pictures, I left the original post from 2016 completely intact below : …
Even though we are using a formal textbook-style curriculum this year, I’m not super rigid in completing all of the book. Part of the freedom of homeschool is not having to complete all the parts of any curriculum. I can choose what is the best fit for my children, and then leave the rest. It’s …
My girls and I are studying bees this spring – what a fun unit study! We started off with Patricia Polacco’s The Bee Tree and our learning has grown from there. In addition to learning about hives and the role of bees in pollination, we’re also learning about the life cycle of a bee. So …
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 …
This post was originally published in April 2014! We still study seeds almost every year because the warmth of spring begs us to do so. ❤ I’ve updated this post and the Seed Writing Activities with fresh fonts, page layouts, and a big update to the How a Seed Sprouts Booklet. The weather is finally …
These Groundhog Day worksheets were originally posted in February 2016. They have been updated for February 2020. You’ll find the original post below! Oh I am SO very late getting these super cute Groundhog Day worksheets posted! Thankfully, they are no-prep activities, so you can just print and go! Do you and your kiddos look …
My 1st and 3rd grade girls can’t get enough of the writing booklets with picture dictionaries! I’ve published a few over the past year, and I have several on my laptop that I have not yet had the chance to post. I don’t use any type of formal writing curriculum until 4th or 5th grade, …
If you’ve read through many of my book lists for kids, you know that there are several topics that we learn about each year in our homeschool. That often involves reading the same books year after year, which is a treat for our family! We haven’t studied bees in a couple of years, so we …
Oh Friends, it has been a long time since I published a literature-based unit study! While my girls and I have studied a few books off and on this semester, I haven’t posted about that type of learning since Christmas! Eek! Since my youngest two are at the age where book unit studies are still such …
