This week we focused on all the workbook things we are learning, but through St. Pat’s skills worksheets. It’s a fun way to celebrate the holiday while still keeping to our schedule. We made some treats, saw some wildlife, played in the snow, and celebrated the holiday by putting the baby in fabulous green cloth … [Read more…]
Fact Families Monday started off kind of slowly. The toddler and Kindergartner have a cold and I was up with the toddler (3 yo) most of the night. Needless to say after a restless night’s sleep the night before with my husband out of state (and no one napping when they should for some unknown … [Read more…]
Our new math adventures are subtraction and division. I haven’t posted about the last 6 weeks of our home school. Apparently doing it was overwhelming, or I was focused on other, good things. I’ll get caught back up to finish the solar system unit. If you’re reading this in order you’ll be confused, but that’s … [Read more…]
This week was all about early spring weather. There was a lot of outside time and exploring things like the old bean pods from the summer that were still in the garden. Everyone enjoyed the sunshine and did what they could to help get the new tunnel on the play set. Every spare minute was … [Read more…]
Life is Sweet The kids went to a dental event on Saturday. We needed some sort of health curriculum and having tagged ‘dental’ as a good plan, it was a perfect fit. The 3, 5, and 8 year olds were all eligible, so they all went with dad, watched a video at a nearby library, … [Read more…]

For my 8 year old, that meant multiplication review, and addition review for the Kindergartner. Here are some photos of the … [Read more…]
Planets Weekly Wrap up of our home school week. This week we studied the planets. Even Pluto, the kids said we must! If I didn’t mention it, they did! This was for the week ending Feb 3rd! This week wrapped up our Outer Space/ Solar System Unit study that took a month. The first week … [Read more…]
The Earth and Sun The Earth and the Sun turn and burn. February went by so quickly that I didn’t even finish posting for January and poof it was gone! I’m playing catch up this week though, so our week 22 is for the week ending January 27th! The kids had already learned that the … [Read more…]
Moon Study This week (ending Jan. 20) we did a moon study! I came up with a clever way for the kids (and me, to be honest) to remember if the moon was waxing or waning. ‘Before the full moon it’s right, and after the full moon is what’s left.’ So before a full moon, … [Read more…]
We broke into this new semester slowly by watching E.T. and going outside to count the stars. At dinner we did our A-Z about ‘topic’ sheet and they blew me away with the terms they knew! Unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the stars and we had to break out a star chart (see … [Read more…]
