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 …
We are trucking right along here in the 365 Days of Children’s Books series! Today marks Day 14. 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. …

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 …
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! …
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 …
This post was originally published in February 2013. I gave the printables a much needed face lift! Enjoy! As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my 5 and 7 years olds are intrigued by Venn Diagrams. They love to compare everything from themselves to the birds in the front yard. I made several Venn Diagram …
Benjamin Franklin is such a fascinating person to study! While we only scratched the surface of his life in our last unit study, we’re going to dig a bit deeper in our learning in the coming year. There are only a million different aspects of Franklin’s life to consider for a unit study: his service …
