Columbus Day is observed the second Monday of each October here in the United States of America. And It is quickly upon us! While my children and I do not study Christopher Columbus in-depth each year, we do read and discuss him at least once each year around Columbus Day, and then as the opportunity …
For years, my girls loved COLORING! If we were studying a topic and I couldn’t find coloring pages to add, I usually made a set myself. This was the case when we studied Johnny Appleseed many years ago when all of my children were elementary age – and before we had our #5! I usually …
Johnny Appleseed – we study him every year during our annual Apple Unit Study! We love all things apples here at the Hill House, and studying them is so fun for my kiddos and me. We have such wonderful memories of apple tasting, apple cooking, apple chalk pastels, apple books, and any other apple idea …
It is apple picking season and we couldn’t be more excited! If you’re a long-time reader here at Mama’s Learning Corner, you know that there are several things we study and read about it each year when my children are in elementary school: bees, seasons, holidays, birds, and apples! If you are planning an apple …
While my children are in preschool and elementary school, we study apples each and every year. What is fall without eating fresh apples while reading apple books?! Some years we have worked on big unit studies (fun!), and other years we just read lots of apple books and do taste-testing. Last year, we went to …
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!

One of my favorite ways to spice up our school days was to find phonics or math worksheets and activities that were based on the current holiday or season. If you enjoy homeschooling this way …
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 : …
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 …
Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away, and I’m a busy bee getting our Thanksgiving-themed work together. Because we all need a change of pace from time to time, my girls (4th grade, 2nd grade, and Kindergarten) will use these Thanksgiving Writing Pages to complete most of their assignments over the next few weeks. …
