It’s my last review of the year! We’ll close it up with a bang, since all of my children agreed this was the best review product of our year. We got the game Snake Oil from Out of the Box Games. Geared for ages 10 and up, we started out with just Eden (9), Liberty […]
Inching along…
Ruby and Liberty were messing around when school should have been happening instead, and Ruby ended up with a small cut on her backside from Liberty’s pencil. She was mourning the injury when Charlotte expressed concern. “Is poop going to leak out of Ruby’s cut?!” Oh dear. I sent Sterling down to fill the woodstove. […]
TOS Review: Purposeful Design
The Review Crew received the opportunity to review Purposeful Design: Understanding the Creation by Jay Schabacker from Purposeful Design. I received a copy of the hardcover glossy-paged full color 90 page book to review and read with my children. They also offer a free curriculum that I downloaded to use alongside our study. Young Explorer’s Club […]
Pierce: he’s three.
Eden has decided to learn to make bread. It’s been rough, having homemade bread around often. The loaves haven’t been pretty, but they’ve tasted good. Yesterday, when the bowl of dough was rising on the counter, Pierce stuck his finger into the dough and announced, “This feels like your belly, Momma.” Words I’d always longed […]
TOS Review: IXL
We’re wrapping up our year on the Crew! One of the last things I’ve gotten to try this year as part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew was IXL and a subscription to IXL Math and IXL Language Arts for my older five children… even Charlotte, age 4, got to get in on this […]
Ellie and a lime.
I love limes. I eat them, peel and all, and my kids all want to love them too. Pierce and Eden are the only ones who manage to get any down, but they all want to try – even Ellie. She saw me eating one last night and begged for it. For your morning coffee-spewing […]
Elliot Adelaide: 8 months.
Dear Miss Ellie turned eight months old over the weekend. Her third tooth is fighting to emerge from her top gums, and it has her particularly clingy. She’s given my babywearing slings a good workout this past week. Ellie’s about 20 pounds, wearing 12 and 18 month clothes, sitting up and rolling every which way. […]
TOS Review: If He Had Not Come
A few weeks ago, I received for review on the Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review Crew a book from David Nicholson titled If He Had Not Come. It’s a hardcover children’s picture book, about 8″x11″ with 40 glossy colorful pages. Written for ages 6 and up, all of my children enjoyed this and Sterling, age 7 […]
TOS Review: Jim Hodges Productions
My children and I have had the privilege of receiving a MP3 CD from Jim Hodges Productions with the G.A. Henty book When London Burned and an accompanying Study Guide in PDF Format. This was designed for ages 10 and up, and it was over the heads of my younger children to a large extent, […]
An Impromptu Book Report, from Liberty
In an effort to encourage my children to read often – and to read old literature, I assigned them a book report. A new report on a new book is due every two weeks, and every other one, for my two older girls, is to be from a book that can be aquired free for […]
