This week, my children and I are studying the Erie Canal and oh my it has just been a JOY to study! Maybe it’s the addition of Bruce Springsteen that has made this such a fun study? I’m not sure. Sometimes you need to spice things up a little, right?! Keep reading to see how Bruce …
Our literature-based learning often lends itself to discovering other places and cultures, which is one of many reasons we love this method! Learning about Italy, Japan, and China have been some of our richest homeschool moments so far. Along with learning about other countries and their continents, we learn where those places are located on …
I am so excited to share this packet of Leap Year 2024 Coloring Pages with you today! My children and I have not talked much about Leap Year and why we add February 29th to the calendar every 4 years, so I wanted to put together a mini unit study for them. This unit study …
Groundhog Day is right around the corner! Do you and your kids look to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow on February 2nd? While we make mention of Groundhog Day in our home, we don’t do a big unit study on groundhogs – although that would be fun! Whether you do a big unit …
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, I try to make school slightly different for my little people. It’s always fun to do things a little out of routine, so I try to plan for a good portion of our homeschool days to be Christmas-focused in some way. For most holidays, I print out many …
Each year during the week before Thanksgiving, my children and I enjoy a unit study on the Pilgrims. It’s so interesting to study that first Thanksgiving and what life was like for those early settlers. While the unit study changes in a few ways as my children get older, we continue to read the same …
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. One of my favorite times of the year! For many years, my children and I enjoyed Thanksgiving school in the days leading up to this special American holiday. Since my four oldest children are stair steps (they’re mostly 2 years apart), we could take a pause from our “regular” …
Many years ago when my four big kids were all little, we studied pumpkins each year. It never grew old to us! We chose the best pumpkins from the patch, studied the pumpkin life cycle, germinated pumpkin seeds in a cup, and read a plethora of pumpkin books. I am so blessed that I am …
If you’ve browsed here at Mama’s Learning Corner the past week, you know that my kiddos and I worked on a Fruit and Vegetable Unit Study. We’ve had a great time learning how fruits and vegetables are categorized, how they grow, ways they give us nutrients, and more. It’s been a treat! Note: This post …
This post was originally published in 2014, updated in 2016, and is now back for its 3rd revision in 2023. Please re-download and use this packet again with your young ones! ❤ My girls were 7, 5, and 3 1/2 when we completed this many years ago. I updated the pictures to the current packet, …
As a homeschooling mama, I have the privilege of creating a special type of December for my children. We aren’t forced to be 5 million places, if we don’t want to be. We can take it slow and have what I call “Christmas School.” The backbone of our Christmas School is living books. These are …
