Later I found that it was also an important concept in the early elementary years, as children were learning to read. There are a lot of ways to practice sequencing in your homeschool, day to day. We played with this concept, by asking “Which comes first?” Then we found a helpful workbook called … [Read more...] about Sequencing Simple Stories AND Story Writing Activities

Learn & Grow Hands-On Preschool Curriculum ~ Wonderfully Amazing
As the mother of an extremely active preschooler I have had a very hard time finding a curriculum that he enjoys. I have tried a lot of printed pages that he is supposed to color or use dot markers and the such but none of them held his attention.

I … [Read more...] about Learn & Grow Hands-On Preschool Curriculum ~ Wonderfully Amazing

Born in 1800, William McGuffey was a philosopher, philanthropist, and public-school teacher.
