Back in August, I heard about The AWANA Club via another homeschooling blog. I checked it out and discovered there were several local clubs in our area. After speaking to a few moms who were involved in it, I decided to sign the kids up. I was hoping that in addition to [...]

It’s like Homeschool Christmas at our house today. When the mailman came this afternoon, he left a box behind. I am expecting a package, so I got up to see if this was what I was waiting for. It wasn’t.

I have read three posts just this week about privacy and blogging and I am taking them as a sign. I have removed my flickr account from my blog sidebar, made almost all of my flickr photos private, and I will no longer be using the kids’s names in blog posts.
It’s quite a tedious [...]

I sent the kids (upon peril of loss of TV time for a week!) outside to play this afternoon. They got as far as the screen door and ran back screaming about a huge bug. Um…ok.
I grudgingly walk over to see what it is, and it looks just like a stink bug, [...]

We finally finished our House Wren notebook pages! We begin reading about the Old Orchard Bully (aka the House Sparrow) next week and start notebooking that one as well.
We had a few bumps with this and started over completely at one point. And as we were finishing this morning Super-boy gave me total [...]

I found a few cool resources that I wanted to share. The first is a free CD-ROM for frog dissection. Students can perform a realistic dissection with a digital scalpel. Digital Frog Dissection also comes with teacher and student workbooks (PDF Format) which you can find here: frog dissection workbooks.

I am so happy with my little homeschooling life.
We are reading the best stories, honestly. This morning we read the story of ‘Diogenes the Wise Man’ from Fifty Famous Stories and it was really great, but the best part was Super-boy’s narration. He took some of his toys and acted [...]
