Like most Americans, “The Star-Spangled Banner” holds a very special place in the hearts of my family. Sure, I associate it with baseball games and summertime, but I strive to teach my children that our national anthem is more than just a song. It’s a symbol of our freedom! And even though we won’t cycle …
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 …
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 worksheets for my 7 year old, who is an avid reader. They were far too advanced for my …
This week, my children and I started studying about Ancient Rome. We are in Year 1, Week 28 of our Tapestry of Grace curriculum, and this is our second time through the Year 1 cycle. Side Note: Sadly, we are not going to finish Ancient Rome before our school year is over, so we will …

There are only a million different aspects of Franklin’s life to consider for a unit study: his service …
Hi Friends! I love my little You Tube channel, and I’m so thrilled to be back with y’all again this week! One of my absolute favorite things to talk about is books, and more specifically, reading aloud to my children. Reading aloud is the best part of our day, without a doubt! Tips and Ideas …
This week my children and I are studying fruits and vegetables – how they grow, the difference between a fruit and a vegetable, why we need to eat them, how our bodies use them, and more! I have enjoyed putting this fruits and vegetables unit study together, and I would love to share parts of …
Spring is the perfect time to study frogs, don’t you think? There’s something about spring and the newness it brings that makes my kiddos want to learn about all kind of animals – frogs included! Next week, we’re doing a quick unit study on frogs, which fits beautifully with learning about Pond Life. My children …
My children have always loved comparing and contrasting. Often, we’ll choose two items, people, or places to compare and map out our data on our big 8-foot white board. As their teacher/mama, I like that a Venn Diagram helps them learn to analyze and think critically about two or more situations or items. Encouraging critical …
We’re working (and working…and working…) on learning multiplication facts here at the Hill House. I’ve brainstormed quite a bit and created several new multiplication worksheets and activities to help my 3rd grader work on memorizing these facts. But I’ll readily admit it is s-l-o-w going. These multiplication wheels will hopefully be a neat change of …
