Hands-On Foreign Language for Kids

While there are many ‘foreign’ languages a homeschool family can study, the one I recommend for those with young children is American Sign Language.  Our journey to ASL began out of necessity with a child who was non-verbal.  However, as our family has grown and our need disappeared we discovered that sign language was a wonderful tool in our parenting arsenal.  ASL is uniquely hands-on,

Read for the Heart – A Book about Books

I have yet to meet a homeschool family that did not love books.  On my quest to find wonderful books to be read to or by my children I have read quite a few ‘books about books’.  One volume has earned a place on my personal shelf to be used often.  That book is Read for the Heart: Whole Books for Wholehearted Families by Sarah

Making Charlotte Mason Simple

What a wonderful experience I have had the last few months!  I received the All-Day Charlotte Mason Seminar on DVD, seminar workbook, and the Laying Down the Rails book and Workshop on DVD from Simply Charlotte Mason to review.  If you have never been over to visit Simply Charlotte Mason, I highly recommend you take a look.  They offer free curriculum guides, free ebooks, and

United States Symbols Mini-Lapbook

One of our favorite educational tools is lapbooking.  Whether we create the traditional lapbook in a file folder or put the pieces on cardstock in a notebook, we love recording the things we learn in a lapbook.  We have created our own lapbooks, found free lapbooks online, and bought lapbook files from several companies. The newest lapbook my eight year old, Makayla, has completed is

Schoolhouse Rock Helps Learning Stick

Not everything has to become a formal lesson at our house, but I love being able to sneak in some learning with a helping of fun.  I have seen in my own life that songs I have learned as a child I can still remember to this day.  While this has many applications to homeschooling I only want to talk about one today, called Schoolhouse

It’s a Zoo Out There! Apologia Review

There are so many interesting animals to learn about.  Our favorite family field trip is to the local zoo.  We have been going since our oldest was an infant and still enjoy it 8 years later with five children.  It will come as no surprise to you, then, to find that we love studying animals in homeschool.  Being a unit study family, we have made

Careers Units for Kids – Wanna Be’s Review

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is a question most children love to answer. Those answers change many times through the years.  When I came across a sale for the Wanna Be series from The Old Schoolhouse, which are unit studies about different careers, I grabbed my debit card and ordered.  We love unit studies and I had nothing for careers

Star-Spangled States Review

While I am a unit study mom, I do not feel the need to turn every topic into an elaborate unit for my family.  This year I wanted to encourage my 8 year old to work independently of me for one subject.  The topic we chose?  Geography of the United States.  She was interested in knowing where the states were thanks to dear cousins who
