I have been working with Charlotte on the 1st Grade Phonics & Reading Set from Alpha Omega Publications for the last several weeks. We received this to review as part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew. Many members of the Crew were offered a variety of options from Alpha Omega’s Horizons homeschool curriculum, and I chose […]
Routines and baths. Lots of baths.
We’re revamping chore lists and routine lists today. The kids are determined a list of all the chores is all they need – that they will divide them up among themselves each day. It sounds like a recipe for disaster… ie. fighting… but I gave them what they asked for. This ought to be interesting. […]
Wishy washy potty training, dead dishwashers, and blue poop.
We’re just surviving lately. It seems we do a lot of that. It’s hot outside (But my lawn hasn’t gotten the memo with so much rain lately… going to have to address that today.) and we gave up (as in, I was going to lose my sanity and my husband addressed the issue for me) […]
Who is training who here?
I am a glutton for punishment, I’ve decided. Ellie is just so stinking smart. The other day when Blaine asked all the kids to back up while he was working and they were crowded around just a wee bit too close, she took one look at all the others obediently backing away a step or […]
TOS Review: Funtastic Unit Studies
A few months ago, a review for Funtastic Unit Studies came up, to review their Science Unit Studies for Homeschoolers and Teachers. Science and History were my plan for the summer, so I was excited to use this. I’ve been told time and again that unit studies is the answer for the mom of many, […]
Friday’s Photos 7/31/15
Friday’s photos… I made a new bathroom curtain. Ruby apparently thought it needed a little something extra… like her new black hair bow at the bottom. Ellie’s back in the snack cupboard again. Pierce is forever bringing me yogurt… Because he wants to lick the lid. He, without fail, also brings me a baby spoon. […]
TOS Review: Heirloom Audio Productions
For the second time, I’ve been privileged to be chosen as part of a review for the Crew for Heirloom Audio Productions. This time, we received the 2-CD production With Lee in Virginia and accompanying download link for a great study guide. When Heirloom Audio came up for review again this year, after having reviewed […]
TOS Review: UnLock Math
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew recently had the opportunity to review the online course UnLock Pre-Algebra from UnLock Math. I asked to review this with Liberty, who will be in 7th grade this fall. UnLock Math’s Pre-Algebra is for 7th grade, and since Liberty is signed up to do a Pre-Algebra course at co-op […]
School.
My children are intelligent. The biggest learning disability we struggle with around here is the wiggles. I’ve been blessed – I don’t fight to teach them things. (Okay, I’m failing in teaching them to consistently clean up after themselves and to shut the basement door until it latches. But… little things.) I have, as a […]
TOS Review: SimplyFun
When I first read of Shape Whiz from SimplyFun, I was pretty excited at the prospect. Playing a game while learning geometry sounded pretty fabulous. When I was chosen for the review, I couldn’t wait to get my game to try. I’ve yet to meet a dull learning game – in my experience, educational game creators tend […]
