Creative Learning Ideas. Worksheets and Printable Activities.
When I was a brand spankin’ new homeschool mama, I was pretty overwhelmed. And exhausted. My oldest was starting Kindergarten, and I also had a 3 year old, and a 16-month old. And my #4 was due in November. It was an extremely busy season in my life. I think back to those early years …
My children and I have always loved nursery rhymes. In a time of electronics and over-committed schedules, I believe it’s more important than ever to teach your children nursery rhymes! Nursery Rhymes connect us to a more simple way of life. They expose my children to vocabulary they wouldn’t naturally encounter (ex: ‘Jack fell down …
Woo hoo! It’s the beginning of the week and that means I’m back with a new video! This week, I am sharing how I plan our homeschool week. Because so many completed the reader survey, I am able to determine which topics you’d most like to hear about. Homeschool planning topped the list! There are …
I am so happy to be back with another video this week! If you’ve been following along with me on You Tube the past few weeks, you know that I post a new video at the beginning of each week, 3 to 4 times a month. This past week, I co-hosted a family reunion and …
This week is going to be insanely busy for me. My husband and I are co-hosting a family reunion with 30+ people (which means I have to buy groceries for the event AND clean my house-eek!), we have extra music lessons, and we need to homeschool 2 full days. Whew! It’s going to be c-r-a-z-y! If …
Over our 6 years of homeschooling, our Bible time has looked different almost every year. As my children have grown to different ages and stages, our Bible time has changed with it. One of my most asked questions is what our Bible time looks like each day. I’d be happy to share what that looks …
Despite changing curriculum in a few subjects over our past 6 years of homeschooling, there are certain subjects where we found the perfect curriculum fit the first time. Don’t you love it when that happens?! All About Spelling (affiliate link) was one of those staple curricula that we fell in perfect alignment with from the get …
Are you a You Tube fan? I sure am. You can find anything there! Since I started Mama’s Learning Corner back in June 2011, I’ve only recorded a handful of videos. My biggest trouble was that I couldn’t find user-friendly (read: simple) video editing software. But woo hoo! I was able to find software for …
As a homeschool mama, I find several things pretty challenging about the actual homeschool day. If I’ve ever made it seem like homeschooling is a breeze for us, it was just a miscommunication because some aspects of this life are just tough! I never want you to think that I have it all together, because …
“Mom, I’m not going to do my jobs this morning!” “I don’t want to brush my teeth!” “[Insert child’s name], I have told you FOUR times to pick up those toys before school starts!” Surely I am not the only homeschooling mother that has the occasional bad morning. Oh, you know the kind. Where children …
Each week, I host a Hangout on Air via Google+. If you’re not familiar, a Hangout on Air is very similar to a live TV show. Often, people create an event page where you can watch the Hangout on Air in real time (this is what I do). I do have all of the videos on …
