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?!

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. …
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 …
Are you studying the life of Saint Patrick with your children this year? If so, make sure you download these Saint Patrick Worksheets! Saint Patrick was a missionary to the people of Ireland, leaving a rich legacy. It’s fascinating to learn about St. Patrick teaching the Trinity using a shamrock as an object lesson! I’ve …
